8 Unit Play. #228 Take Baltimore (between -1 thru -7 ½ ) over Pittsburgh (8:20 p.m., Sunday, Nov. 29)
***Sunday morning all books posted Baltimore -7 ½ and we still feel that this game has great value as I thought this number would be between 8-10 point favorite. Will grade this 8-Unit play as long as the game doesn’t go over 7 ½. ***(NFL Game of the Year) Will play this game as long as Baltimore is no more then a 7 ½ -point favorite! On Saturday morning sources have said that Pittsburgh Steelers QB Ben Roethlisberger will not play this game Sunday night. Only one Las Vegas sports book has this game posted and they have the Ravens -7. With no Big Ben we really like this play as the Steelers offense will be lost. If this game climbs to more than 7-points I would stay off this play. We had this game circled after the Bengals beat the Steelers in Week #3 and this season Pittsburgh hasn’t been a good road team. Pittsburgh is 1-4 ATS in their last 5 road games this year. Pittsburgh defense has been questionable and with Troy Polamalu out we should see the offense of Baltimore move the ball at home. Baltimore will win this game on defense and we could see Big Ben not lasting this game because the Ravens “D” will want to get the bad loss from the Colts out of their mouths from last week. Baltimore wins this game by a touchdown and Pittsburgh might be looking at next year because the playoffs are slipping away from the Steel Curtain. Baltimore is 6-1 ATS following a SU loss. Pittsburgh is 1-4 ATS in their last 5 games in Baltimore.
***Sorry for any problems we might have caused but we thought Big Ben was going to play this game all week long until Saturday we Pittsburgh announced he wasn’t playing***
