    Default Baltimore to fall V Pittsburgh

    Although the Ravens have great defense, I don't think they will be
    able to contain Big Ben. I expect to see much more points scored this time around than PITT's prior 13-9 win.

    We've seen what PITT can do with it's explosive offense.
    I was concerned of Ben Roth.'s concussion prior to the stomping of SAN DIEGO but it seems he has recovered well! [Even so, we also have seen PITTS QB backup Byron Leftwich (Marshall U) in action against the Redskins and the Browns, and he's been good!]


    With BALT's strong D, I see a sluggish offense...the Ravens don't stand much of a chance of putting points on the board. I see Flacco making more, instead of less mistakes heading into this game. We've watched him all season make and break games and I just don't think he's got what it takes to beat out this Steeler team.

    Lately though, BALT has put up near the same points on average;

    BALT last 5 games: 21.2 points AVG
    PITT last 5 games: 22.5 points AVG


    I hope that the oddsmakers don't take too many from PITT on this one, I'm going to be riding this train all the way to the Superbowl!!!

    [unless the Eagles pull out a win against ARZ then all bets are off!!!]

    Did you just say that? are you for real? half the teams out there can contain Ben. But I do agree with that Steelers will win this game. The rookie's glory time is over.

    I love how the PITT win over SD has everyone buying into them, I also love the cash I made off PITT.....now I love the +6 that BAL is getting, but I'll wait for "7".

    Ben's stat line against the Ravens, 36/64 (56.25%), 437 yards, 2Td's, 1 INT, 1 FUM LST. Not great, but certainly good enough to beat the Ravens, especially when you look at Flacco's line against the Steelers.

    27/59 (45.76%), 307 yards, 1 TD, 2 INT's, 1 FUM LST

    I am disappointed with the (-6).

    I can't take the -250ML.

    Looks like I'll have to eat the points... PITT will cover.

    Ravens can win this game but harbaugh* has to open the offense sooner this time. Pit is way to dangerous in the 4th. Clayton is very legit receiver. Him with Heap, McClain and if they can get get screens/dumps in the middle to mcgahee they can do it. But, im not betting on it...

    This is a myth.

    RLM helped keep me undefeated in bowl games this year.

    Indeed! Perhaps a side wager is in order... $100 prop bet Flacco throws an INT

    The playbook will open up for Flacco in this Championship game. Ravens ML

    Why is that? He hasn't shown the ability to handle what he has been given.

    I've heard this too. The reasoning is that they'll be playing from behind and Flacco will have to pass more. Also, Pitts might stack the box and force Flacco to beat them. That's just what I've heard, take it for what it's worth.
