Wonder what the line move will be based on that?

[jillmark]

Anybody seen a line on this with Ben out. I would not be shocked if Pittsburgh is getting 6 or 7. I would still take Pittsburgh with the points. My gut tells me they find a way to win this game.

[tblues2005]

Wow. That is big news to me. I really like Baltimore now.

From the steelers website

I copyed this from the steelers website so who knows whats going to happen
Quarterback Ben Roethlisberger practiced the last two days showing no effects of the concussion he suffered in overtime against the Kansas City Chiefs. Roethlisberger said all is normal and he will play on Sunday night against the Ravens in Baltimore.
“I’m planning on it,” said Roethlisberger. “It’s been a normal week. We’ve got a big game Sunday night.”

Roethlisberger, who suffered previous concussions, said he underwent testing before he was given the green light to practice and that he felt fine. He also said dealing with the danger of potential concussions is part of the game, even if not a welcome part.

“I’ve taken a thousand tests and passed them all with flying colors,” said Roethlisberger. “It’s part of the nature of the beast of playing this game. It’s a violent, physical contact sport and there’s a chance you’re going to get hit and dinged. You guys don’t talk about the bruises we have all over our body. If I showed you a bruise on my shoulder and a bruise on my shin, it wouldn’t get talked about as much. It’s a violent sport we play.”

Roethlisberger took a knee to the helmet against the Chiefs, but isn’t concerned about suffering yet another concussion.
“I’m not worried because we have the best doctors,” said Roethlisberger. “If I can go out and pass thousands of these tests and show that I’m fine, then I’m not worried about it.”

Roethlisberger, however, has been had exercise-induced headaches, DONT LOOK GOOD

dixon is white or black?

[jerseykingpin]

The line droped off the board I guess till the morning sucks who ever had it locked in on the steelers but great if you took the ravens it should hit 7 my guess is

[jerseykingpin]

dixon is white or black?

Black with no playing time in the nfl so

[Dark Horse]

I haven't seen an offshore line for this game at all. Last week they waited until Sunday for a Denver line, so don't hold your breath.

[ryanjep]

Black with no playing time in the nfl so

They signed a QB from the practice team Tyler Palko

[Raymond Babbitt]

I can't wait to see Dennis Dixon play. Holy shit they might not cross the 50.

[jjgold]

If Ben does not play they should just forfeit the game

No chance to win

we are on steelers ML now

[INVEGA MAN]

I am jumping on Balt as soon as line comes out. This line will move up 5 points. Pgh will get beat by 3 td's.

[whatsgood5]

Hmm Dixon starting? He was good in college for sure, but I'm not sure how good of a pro player he can be. That being said if I can get a good enough line on the Steelers, I'll take 'em.

[SamsNCharge99]

Is there still no line on this gm?

[jerseykingpin]

watch out Dixon might come out and put a beat down on the ravens never know

Ben's probably the best QB in the NFL; Steelers should get +14 for this. The play to take would be a sack prop (over) on the replacement if Ben's not in.

[koby25]

Drew Brees and Peyton are the best this year

Ben still beats them. The guy is a beast.

[koby25]

I hope he gets hurt for the rest of the season. With those records they have I doubt it.

Dixon will be looking to run alot more, quick slants, hand offs, etc. Big Ben stayed in the pocket forever. I would lean the under on a sack prop. (assuming its a decent number)
