    Steelers -3.5 over Ravens

    That is opening line. Interesting that last 24 meetings have been decided by exactly three points. (Yes, I'm exaggerating for effect, I think it's last 4 meetings).

    Ravens win that outright. Steelers aren't as motivated as the Ravens are. They are out for blood after that fumble that lost them that last game. Not a fan of either team, but I think Ravens win a close game that goes over the 36.5

    Ravens are the better team. Steelers got lucky the last time they played and the steelers have an extra win and one less loss than they deserved, because of the dolphins referee fixing. Not to mention the bills wide reciever dropping the easy TD in the end zone. Steelers will lose outright, they are over rated.

    I'm hoping the Ravens can win but Pittsburgh is tough at home.

    First thought is to compare Roethlisberger to Flacco ...

    You sure about that, FindTheLock?

    100 percent without a doubt sure. No question in my mind. Steelers are over rated and don't deserve to be at home in this game. See steelers dolphins game and notice the refs in that game came from pittsburgh. Bills took this team led by ben the rapist to OT, and dropped the ball for the win. Ravens defense has this one, especially getting 3.5 or 4.

    Already down on +3.5 and I'll probably get some +3 at reduced juice; Ravens will win this outright.

    Ben Roethlisberger is 5-0 all time against Joe Flacco. Pittsburgh won those games by 3 (in overtime), 4, 9, 3, and 3 points. This line is really tight. Pittsburgh should win but it could be close. I would definitely buy the hook if necessary to make them -3. I may just watch this one.

    Game should be decided by a FG again. I'll take Ravens +3.5. That being said I hope the Steelers win to keep my SB future alive at 12-1.

    Steelers should be at least 3 point fav. Give me Ben and that Defense every single time at home! This is a very complete team. If you cannot see this...BOL.

    Steelers have won two super bowls in the past 5 years. Ravens have been in the hunt almost every single year but have come up short. Which team does this game mean more to?

    I'll gladly take Balt at +3.5. If there's any props on a team to win by exactly 3 points I'll take that too. 12-9 somebody wins 4 field goals to 3.

    If this was a game with equal conditions -3 seems right, but coming off a bye at home should give PIT more of an edge than this. I thought -3.5 was a good opening line, but it's already moving to -3 with 2/3 of early bets on BAL and the hook.
