First let me say that I hate both these teams with a passion. With that said..... I think that Baltimore will prevail in this one. Pitts has not seen a defense like Baltimore. This is going to be SMASH MOUTH football! I will be buying points in this one.  The line right now is +5 si I will more than likely bu 10 and take Baltimore +15. I'm looking forward to this game!
 
pitt has not seen a defense like balt???   pgh beat balt 2x this year.  they've seen it.

No way IN HELL Pitt allows a rookie a QB to steal this game after all of Pitts defeats in these afc title games to the pats and broncos. Pitt plays aggressively on offense and keeps the pressure on the Ravens the entire game. Write it down, Pitt 31 Balt 13 . Largest play of the year.

 

I agree, with the pubic all over balt, this line should be more like -3.  I'm not a big fan of taking my team, but Pitt is the play here.

The Titans beat themselves last week with turnovers and penalties.  The Ravens won't be so lucky this week.  Pitt will kick their arses.

I think these two D's will keep this one close, but the extra points make me feel better about this one.
 
WON'T MATTER WHO WINS ONCE THEY MEET THE EAGLES !!

Pure luck that the ravens are in this game at all. Pittsburg will not cough the ball up like the Titans did sunday. Ravens can't put many points up against this D. Steelers cover and its not a nail biter.

Where are they meeting the Eagles?  At the Superbowl watching party?  Eagles are going down like a fat kid in the deep end.

Pittsburgh has the better D, the better Quarterback and the overall better Team. Flaco will make the mistakes and Pittsburgh will not. This game may get ugly by the 4th Qtr. Piit -6 is the play.

Taking the steelers in this one. Baltimore has a great defense, but I believe Pitts was ranked #1. Like Pitts offensive weapons a little more. Hines ward is one of the best in big games. Gonna tease Pitt with Zona also... GL to all

Not much to think about here.  One trend, one fact and one perception is all i need to take BAL:

TREND: Its insanely tough to beat a team 3 times in a single season

FACT: The combined # of points BAL has lost to PIT by is 7 and the spread is 6!

PERCEPTION:  BAL has only gotten better and more confident since they last played PIT

BAL +6

flacco led his to team to a big victory against the titans last week. most people in here said he was a rookie qb with little experience and that kerry collins was a journeyman. flacco could have given the game away himself which he didnt. i think the ravens hang tough here. maybe they dont win but there wont be a blowout neither. try a middle pitt ml and balt plus as much as possible.

lay the points...I rode the Balt ML the last two weeks...but I think their run ends in Pitt...Pitts D looks like one of the best in league history right now...Pitt, without a doubt has the best home-field advantage in the league...Flacco has been manageable in the last two games...but that will not be enough in this game, I expect at least 2 INT's...Flacco has had a great season and will be a great QB for years to come but I think it will be too much to ask from the rookie to go into Pitt for the AFC Championship and come out with a win...Balt on a whole is banged up, McClain will not be 100%, I do not see McGahee picking up the slack vs. this D...Suggs status is also unceartain...lay the points...

BAL +6

Teams with an opportunity to beat a team 3 times in a season have suceeded 11 out the last 18 times, and 6 out of the last 9. Pit actually was the last team to do this in the AFC. Your trend is a huge misperception that people have. When you beat someone 3 times in a season, you are cleary the better team, not a team winning by luck or bad calls, and winning 2 is the beginning of a trend.

Take Pit Moneyline, or side if you have more balls than me.

Seems to be everyone likes Baltimore plus the points but lines going up.  Pittsburgh the play.. Tthe Steelers like beating teams 3 times in a year. Just ask Cleveland, Steelers beat them 3 times during the 1994 season. Just ask Bernie Kosar. Pittsburgh is the play - anything.     24-10  Steelers

Both Team have played the Titan's lately.....

Steelers @ Titans 12/21/08....Steelers lost 14-31

Raven's @ Titans 1/10/09.....Raven's win 13-10

Another side note....the total of both losses for the Ravens to Steelers was 7 points.....lost by 3 at Pitt on 9/29 and by 4 in Balt on 12/14..

Waiting to see how healthy the Birds will be later in the week.....but +6 looks very attractive and waiting for it to grow to 6.5 or 7 and then buy the Hook GLA

I'm a diehard Steeler fan and all I know is that it hard to win against a division rival 3 times in a season. These teams, especially these Defenses, will clash hard next Sunday....and it will be fun to watch. A lot more fun than the Ari-Phi game.

3-peats are tough. I will be playing it safe and taking Balt +16 so far

Straight game, no teaser.  Balt +14.5 is    -570 and at +16 it's -720 the over under is only 34 and I can get 2 TD's +? I will take it. That's great odds! Especially in a high D game.
