This will be a 15 round event here. May the best team win

I agree

Baltimore is the best "team" this year.  Pitt has too many troubles in the secondary.  Balt should get this one done.  I'll take the ML with this game and look to pair it up with a couple others. 

Pitt looking good right now will get back.

first of all , i like to wish everyone a merry christmas.. im looking for some input on this game .no points involved just a straight up pick. i like the ravens to win outright.. if you had to pick this game w/no points involved who would you take ,and why.thank you for your help

Pitts Wins and cover at home in front of their fans......

While Baltimore has looked solid in its last two games, those victories came against teams with a combined 7-21 record. The Ravens will probably receive a much bigger test against a Steelers team with a lot more riding on the game.

Pitt continues to struggle with a banged up secondary D,a non existent running game and a QB that has to carry the entire load while the Raves are on the upswing with an offense that is actually producing points instead of a constant barrage of FGs to win a game (Pass @ Run go figure) while their D continues to strong arm the opposition and grab anything in the air that flies bye.Gotta go with the Raves and the 3 pts doesnt hurt either.Under is a strong lean as well.

There is a whole bunch of reasons why The Ravens should win this game but they won't. I think Sunday we will see Steeler Football .Misery loves company and when the Steelers win then I feel sorry for the S.O.B who has to figure out the playoffs scenario !!! An extra point kick will cost you your spread at 3. I will lay 3 points and watch the Steelers win by 4 GLWe shall see !!!!!  Personally I am looking for a pickum or -1 for the steelers otherwise it is a no play for me !!!! I think this game gets decided by 3 or less so be careful and GL

over.......

Ravens +3.  Pit sucks. Come on.. What have they done besides choke against some terrible teams lately.??  Besides the offensive burst against GB, they've done shit. I'll ride the Ray Rice pony here.

Baltimore - 27                      Pittsburgh - 24

Ravens +3                     over 42.5

This one could go OT.

I'm searching for a reason why I should take the Ravens today and all I could come up with is.

when Pitt lays 3 or less they have trouble covering.

when the Ravens are getting 3 or less it's usually money in the bank. That's enough for me to take the birds in this one.

BAL +3: the Steelers' 4-10 ATS record is good enough to look to bet against them. The Ravens are more balanced and should hold on to their wild-card lead. Score: Ravens 28-Steelers 21 (1 unit)

Ravens - D-Fense will shake Big Ben and frustrate his check down to 3rd / 4th targets.

Pitt. has only won 1 of their last 5 games . Losing to Browns , Raiders , Chiefs  and  Ravens.

Ravens to win S/U

Happy Holidays and all the best in the New Year to everyone.

 

I'm heading out holidays down south ( everything is down south from Canada...lol ) so just wanted to post my NFL picks for tomorrow.  It's been a great great year, won alot of money....let's end it with more.

Good luck to all......Happy New year

 

Sandman

that's all the handicapping I'll need. Balt +3.

Pittsburgh -3 (+109)

UNDER 42 (+102)

Pitt's Mendenhall will have another field day against a not so stellar Balt D...Pitt took Balt to OT on the road without Big Ben ...with Big Ben this will be at least a TD victory for the better team in the Steelers as they make their push for a back door march into the playoffs...Steelers -3 and/or ML for the easy

Still Like PITT here GL

I like Steel town to show up at home, Flacco has yet to beat Big Ben in a big game, and the Ravens without Ed Reid will be a field day for Big Ben...Steelers 28 Ravens 17

Not a fan of either team but believe people are still betting like Pitt is playing like years like years past when they are NOT!! . BALT

What Pitt has done against any teams outside of the AFC North is irrelevant. This is Pittsburgh's biggest game of the year, against a Baltimore team with an inept offense. Pitt. took em to OT in Baltimore with their backup qb. Gonna be an ugly game but Pitt will get it done. Be a close game for sure, Ravens D not what it use to be and Pitt offense is taken care of business. They need D to step up at home to take care of business. This game goes over, with some short field position due to turnovers.

Granted their in division record is 1-4, ugh really? Why am I defending this team? No idea, but pick is OVER.
