I am liking the Ravens to win in Pittsburgh this weekend.

**Brick** · 01-11-11, 10:12 PM

I like it, should be another 3 point win that could go either way. Might as well take points.

**JP10** · 01-11-11, 10:18 PM

Tough to say but pitt still looking good.

Anyway GL to you LB

**INVEGA MAN** · 01-11-11, 10:40 PM

Ravens and steelers have pretty much split the meetings for the last 4 or 5 years.

They've played 7 times in the last 3 seasons. Pittsburgh won 5. Roethlisberger was out for both of the games Baltimore won. That's not really splitting.

Pit is 6-4 versus balty the last 10 meetings with 3 of those wins coming in 1 year when flacco was a rookie cancelling out the missed big ben games. I'm not much of a stats guy. I just think this balty team has a quiet confidence about them and will go about there business on saturday and get the job done. Let's see how it works out.

**FilletMaster** · 01-12-11, 12:51 AM

ravens get it done and move on

**shock11** · 01-12-11, 12:55 AM

ravens have to win if ray lewis is wearing his superbowl ring again

OK, they split the 2 games in 2007, but AGAIN, the game that Baltimore won was the last game of the season when Pittsburgh was resting their starters for the playoffs. 2006 Baltimore owned Pittsburgh. That was Billick and Cowher as coaches, McNair as QB, etc., so not sure how that speaks to the current teams.

There is just no way to look at the current series as split - Baltimore has been owned in meaningful games and can't beat Big Ben.

**MBENZ** · 01-12-11, 10:52 AM

Keep donating that Ravens money to the books,lets keep that Pitt ML down low.

Are you up to any game this weekend PiMike?

**k13** · 01-12-11, 11:03 AM

Big Ben 6-0 vs Baltimore
Pit 8-1 ATS in the playoffs at home

**Mr Handicapable** · 01-12-11, 11:07 AM

Pitt only 5-3 at home this year! This one comes down to Flacco....is he ready to step up as a top tier QB the way Eli did a few years back? They won't run for much and the underneath guys won't have 20 yards running room after the catch like they did vs KC! I still like Baltimore's pass rush better w/their front 4....ML +158 is a GREAT VALUE!!

**Frostware** · 01-12-11, 11:10 AM

Tough one to call.

**sonyman** · 01-12-11, 11:28 AM

I can't wait for this game--should be a war

**cloggedup** · 01-12-11, 11:32 AM

Ravens beat Steelers minus Ben. Also on the last play of the game, which the steelers should have won. Then ravens lose at home with the defense player of the year TP making a great play...game could go either way and the ravens are 7-3 on the road in playoffs. Steelers off a bye and rested. Balt coming off an emotional win in KC with the Ed Reed's brother missing drama.....see abit of a let down. Steelers cover

**lakerboy** · 01-12-11, 11:35 AM

Cant wait for this stalemate to begin.

**Crazygamble** · 01-12-11, 11:48 AM

good luck

I like Balt to win this game but I believe Worthlessburger is 3-0 against Balt

**IHateFixed** · 01-12-11, 04:35 PM

NFL will not let Pats beat Steeler twice.

**jas19illini** · 01-12-11, 05:50 PM

should be a very bloody battle at Heinz Field.

**lakerboy** · 01-12-11, 05:54 PM

Ravens heading back to foxboro again this year.

Or Jets could win and the game is in Bmore

As much as I want to see the Ravens win the Steelers are their kryptonite...
Having Todd Heap in this game will be huge though since he went out on the first play in their last meeting

**IHateFixed** · 01-12-11, 06:16 PM

The only way The Jets win is when Rex Ryan pull one of his brother dirty tricks when he was with the Raiders and put Brady out of the game.

**turnip** · 01-12-11, 06:56 PM

This is the most physical matchup in football today. The extra week of rest matters to this game more than any other. I think the Steelers will roll.

**Dave ATS** · 01-12-11, 10:11 PM

Steelers on the ML. Just not quite ready to buy in to this spread. Spidey sense tells me all of the close games are about to bust out of the trend they have been in. Going to wait a bit more.

**the_situation** · 01-13-11, 02:03 AM

Can't believe people are laying that juice on the Pit ML in a toss up game. I guess that's why 97% of bettors lose in the long term.

if this was such a toss up then you'd be flipping +168 ml all day for profit

its far from a toss up

betters lose in the long run because they think ravens have value, they think +3.5 is value

they would probably play pit -2.5 if that was the line.

**pimike** · 01-14-11, 01:50 AM

Ravens qb is 2-5 against steelers. Ravens may win but betting cause u think their due is not a good reason.

**RPP** · 01-14-11, 03:38 AM

I bet the Ravens too. They should be favored.

Obviously, you dont know what you are talking about or havnt watched a steelers game. The Chiefs were one dimensional. All they can do is run the ball. When Baltimore took that away, it was over. The steelers can do both and have done both all year.

obviously you didn't catch the sarcasm in my response. But let's be real here, the Steelers ARE NOT a good football team. As I stated earlier I'm a Pats fan and we completely dismantled them earlier this year, Baltimore is a much better team. The only thing that worries me is their playing styles are so similar. And as for my KC comparison I'm not that far off. I would actually take the Chiefs run game over pitts and I'm pretty sure Cassell had a comparable year to Ben Reothlsrapist.

**bretb27** · 01-14-11, 03:54 AM

I'm gonna go out on a limb and call the Ravens blowout. Baltimore wins this one 24 - 10

**** if your so confident about it, how about a points bet on a EV ML for pit?

who here is saying that they bet them cause they are due? didnt you bet the padres every time cause they were due during that huge losing streak?

**UnderAndOver** · 01-14-11, 09:17 AM

This might be the first OT game of the playoff.
