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

**C-Gold** · 01-10-11, 06:41 AM

Pitt should really be about -4.5, I got them at -3 ( -120) and am happy with that.

True. If Baltimore comes out quick, they may catch the Steelers off guard.

The Ravens always lose to Big Ben, i just can't take the Ravens knowing that.

**Wulfman14** · 01-10-11, 09:34 AM

hahahaha i love all the nicknames for big ben... rapeburger, rape-lisberger,

good stuff

**Raleigh77** · 01-10-11, 09:57 AM

Reed has extra motivation

**k13** · 01-10-11, 11:52 AM

Everyone will think Ravens are "value".

Its more like they are overvalued.

Nothing like fading a team after a big blowout.

**drew17** · 01-10-11, 11:54 AM

If Baltimore can sort out there blocking then I like the Ravens to win this one.

**k13** · 01-10-11, 11:55 AM

Talking about them winning in pitt, yeah that was with charlie batch and they still needed last second luck.

people already forgot about the cincy game, short memories.

Pit ate teams the last couple games.

**thadchr** · 01-10-11, 12:12 PM

I agree. Think they will win this one straight up, but even at -120, I think +3.5 is a gift line. Seriously, what are the odds of this not being the classic FG-wins-it game?

**cadillac pete** · 01-10-11, 12:33 PM

The Ravens won't be intimidated that's for sure. It should be a slugfest.

**WvGambler** · 01-10-11, 12:36 PM

I agree here. But taking the points, as well as small ML play.

**big0mar** · 01-10-11, 12:38 PM

Baltimore's offense isn't consistent enough. They rely on too many big plays and too many trick plays. Cam Cameron really struggles to find that team an identity. I don't see Baltimore scoring enough to win this game.

**k13** · 01-10-11, 12:44 PM

Last time Bal won in Pitt, the line was -2.5

**thebestthereis** · 01-10-11, 01:00 PM

just remember in the playoffs winner covers the spread, play who you think will win the game. i lean balty myself. good luck!

**SpreadSniper** · 01-10-11, 01:36 PM

Ravens will win this game.

**mattyend33** · 01-10-11, 02:39 PM

Ravens going to win there on a roll...

**McBa1n** · 01-10-11, 02:52 PM

Balt on the ML has some value, but if you could get Balt +3 1/2, there is no decision to be made - that's a superior play. I like Pitts to win a close one, but as per usual, it's going to come down to a Big Ben late in the game drive that will get it done or he will bust out. All the value is on Balt +points.

**Shafted69** · 01-10-11, 02:54 PM

Ravens last chance to get to the SB b4 their defense retires to collect their social security checks.

**Nittany Lion** · 01-10-11, 03:10 PM

This game is a betting mans nightmare, two identical teams playing each other. ESPN showed the stats earlier, over the last 17 meetings Pitt has won 9 and Baltimore 8. Also, the total of points scored between them in all those meetings are identical. There was also a few other stats that were nearly identical.

Steelers would have beaten the Ravens both times this year if Jeff Reed didn't miss two field goals and Roethlisberger was playing in the first game. But these games are always so close, it comes down to which team makes the least mistakes and a couple big plays.

Steelers 17
Ravens 13

Stay away from betting the ML or spread in this game, if I had to bet I would tease the Ravens spread and the under.

I still think the Ravens win SU and will be playing them almost as heavy as yesterday.

I'm doubling on Pitt after reading this thread.

Public is all over the Ravens + the points... and yes, the public is right.

The line should be Pitt -2.5 or -3. No way in hell the Steelers should be favored by more than 3 points here.

**arkie boy** · 01-11-11, 12:29 AM

forget ravens

get pitt at 2 and a half

**kidkonggolf** · 01-11-11, 01:14 AM

Bought up 3.5. BOL

This is exactly right. You have a team that owns the other and a mirror image of each other. One at home with a week off.

There is no edge at all for Ravens.

**tealish** · 01-11-11, 01:44 AM

Books are giving Baltimore plenty of credit... spread is a mere FG. Tons of respect there, actually. Game is a toss-up, in my opinion.

**mighty maron** · 01-11-11, 01:52 AM

Better NFL games to go with than this.

**No coincidences** · 01-11-11, 01:59 AM

Probably depends on if the hook is dropped, LB, but I'm on the same side.

I'm surprised the public's on the Ravens so far.

The closest certainty in gambling is if the public's on a dog, go the other way.
