Might be jumping the gun here...but I'm gonna gamble that Roethlisberger sits out this one with a bad shoulder.  If he's out the line will move considerably towards Baltimore.

Take the Ravens +3.5 while you can get it  even if Big Ben plays, he'll be less than 100% and this series has a way of producing three-point margins of victory.

They act like Ben injury is serious. I jumped on Bmore got +3. It's already movin 

All lines are off. Was good for a moment, there.

Pitt

Pitt will be ready. Even w/o Roe they win this. They almost lost MN cause they were looking to this. Balt D is really nowhere near usual standards and Steel is either 1 or 2 in yardage allowed. This will matter big time come game time!!

With no QB and no running game, not sure how Steelers will put any points up?

Mike Tomlin was referring to the game Sunday night against the Baltimore Ravens when he labeled Ben Roethlisberger "questionable" to play quarterback for the Steelers. He could just as easily have meant their game Dec. 2 in Baltimore.

Roethlisberger has injuries to a rib and his right shoulder that Tomlin described as a sprain to the sternoclavicular (SC) joint, which connects the sternum to the collarbone. As with other sprains, there are degrees, and it has not been made public to what degree Roethlisberger's shoulder was sprained. After an MRI Monday night, Roethlisberger was having more tests Tuesday

Te line was set right at first. Pit... if they won would be a 3pt game. Dont feed into the reverse line stuff. The line is just reacting to everyone freaking out with no Big Ben playing. The under will be where the large is. As far as line goes, Balt should still pull out a 16-10 type victory. Well  see .Doc going back to the lab!

OH HAPPY DAY...the game swings 7 points...already took the Ravens +3.5 on Monday and now I get to play Pittsburgh +3.5 for the same money...

GIMME THE MIDDLE YOU MUTHAHS HAHAHAHAHAHA

Ben is out, i see the ravens capitalize, Ravens cover, and under

PITTSBURGH + 3.5 (even if I have to play QB!)

Looks too easy to fade the black and yellow here. With a full week of practice under his belt, Leftwich will be fine to hand the ball off, throw screens, and throw an occaisonal deep ball to Mike Wallace.  

Steelers will find a way even if Batch has to play QB... PITT+3.5

Ravens defense will have a feast without Ray Lewis and ARZ ST guy

Ravens +10.5 Tease

Ugh, Leftwich? I never liked him. He looks like he's playing in slow motion.

But, Mendenhall coming back is what's helping my decision on this game - also, like I used in the Lions/Packers thread:

"Division Rival Home Dog"

Steelers +3.5
