PIT +3 (4units): The steelers should win by a TD. Score: Steelers 21-Ravens 14

BALTIMORE   - 3

Big Ben's foot is hurt, anyone know if it's the back foot?

Got to believe Balt. will be ready to play.  Like Balt a lot.

under 40

Easy pick here....these teams are pretty evenly matched, but with Ben hurting they are going to be in for a long day offensively. I'll buy the hook to -2.5 and watch the home field adv. work its magic for the Ravens

Usually like the home team in this series but Balt D playing as old as they are lately....leaning Pitt as big Ben will play.

Pitt 17 Balt 13

Ben hasn't lost to Baltimore.  His foot is fine, but as a precaution he's got a special shoe.  I like Pittsburgh outright; the pts. are a bonus.  A field goal has been the difference between these 2 teams in the past.  Home field has meant little.  Pittsburgh fans travel to Baltimore

PITT OVER

Pitts been playing like crap lately and should have lost to Buffalo. Balt -3 is a safer bet. Its a win or a push. Balt wins this game, low scoring affair 20-13.

The steelers dont lose to the same team twice in one year much...and they have byron as backup. But the ravens will get to see mendenhall a lot ball control give me the points steelers win!

you should do ur homework before providing such misinformation.  the raven have beaten big ben 3 times:  once in his rookie year, then swept him in 2006.

not that im preaching raven in this spot because without a clear idea of big ben's foot injury, im not crazy about betting this game so may just sit back and watch.  if u put a gun to my head, i'd have to take big ben & co. because the ravens defense doesn't seem so sharp like they used to be.....this is like a championship game for these 2 squads and i would have to side with the better defense / better qb (Steelers)

Steelers backers here have got to be idiots.

Sorry, not nec. those here in this thread but Steelers backers in this spot this week in general...

Balt -3 and Balt ML

PIT +3 (1unit): The steelers should win by a TD, even with Ben's broken foot, he's not the running QB anyway. I'll wait til gametime to see if the line creeps up over the news of Big Ben's Bones. Score: Steelers 21-Ravens 14

Is Ben really hurt?? Naw man the only thing that got hurt was his big ol ego when Seymour put him down like a big baby for raping that chick in GA. I gotta bet on 'em today though justa Benji since Baltimore is pretty damn good at home and I'll need a little somethin' on the last game of the day -- Steelers

RAVENS

Thanks box Aints.  Hope you enjoyed your one year rise. Ya can't beat up on one of the worst teams in the NFL just cause you had to play in a little cold weather? Said it before... New Orleans is the most over rated team in the NFL by a mile. Thirty points to the Bungles??? If they have to play on the road to the Giants they will be revealed as the women that they really are!

Rant over.

Tough for the Steelers to win with Ben being hobbled, but I think they keep it close and will take the day. The Steelers know how to tackle and destroy. Pittsburghs D wins this match up! +3

Big Ben will play fine, but even if he doesn't we played just fine with our backups (The best in the league 3-1 record). Pitt will find a way to squeak this out in the end 20-17. Good luck to all
