How good does Baltimore +200 look?

Rookie QB or not, that defense is playing better than anyone else. I have all the respect in the world for Pitt & their defense but I sense the Ravens get a little revenge.

Big early lean on Ravens

Thoughts?

I understand what you mean, Jack, but for me, it's hard to bet against the Steelers right now. For everything Baltimore is doing, Pittsburgh is very capable of doing it that much better.

Whoever wins this game wins the Super Bowl.

Plus, it is really hard for a team to beat another team 3 times in one season. It rarely happens. This game will be a close one. Flacco can hold his own. I like balty.

I think it will be all Steelers in the stats, but Ravens find a way to win it. Too many strange things happened on the way to this point in the playoffs.

Ravens could have won either of the first two games, so no reason to think that they can't stay in position to win this one.

Flacco will be in tough vs Steelers, but he has seen them twice now and that might help him out.

Flacco totally capable of holding his own vs Steelers D. Their secondary isn't as good as Titans and this will be 3rd matchup

In my humble opinion the line tells you exactly who is going to win this game. Pittsburgh opens up as -5 point fave even though Baltimore is now the sexy pick of the playoffs after their performance in Miami last week and this week knocking off the Number 1 seed Tennessee Titans. Both games this year decided by 4 points or less and arguments could be made that the Ravens should be 2-0 instead of 0-2 to the Steelers this year as in both games the Ravens had the lead late into the 3rd quarter.

This line in my opinion should not be -5 and should of been set closer to -3 and because of this I truly believe the Steelers win and cover and off to Tampa for the Super Bowl

I'm no Steelers fan, but it is +200 for a reason.

lets not forget about Big Ben and a pass rush... (that wasn't there with the Chargers - dude had all day to throw. hell, half of us could stand back there and throw with no pass rush). You can bet your @$$ that Balty will have a rush...

not sure about ML. I like points when I can get em adn I do think 5 is too many to be giving.

agree, they got pressure in the first half, but they were on the field the entire 3rd quarter and you could tell they were exhausted. I worry about the ravens being able to sustain drives...flacco hasn't impressed and collins showed last week you can pass on them

I teased it, but Big Difference is Balty has a D where as the CHargers had zero.

agreed. Crumpler doesn't fumble away that TD, and the Ravens are home right now.
