I agree, Phixer. That's an unbelievable stat. It didn't come from any research I did, but instead from a reliable source. If true, it makes me love Pittsburgh all the more.

i wont fall from my chair if pittsburgh wins and covers as you will be in a very good company of people who work with me. but in my understanding the ravens are coming with the full knowledge and preparation that absence of bell is their chance to win the game. at any other case i'd say - becausev the starplayer is missing - the steelers are even more dangerous, but those are the playoffs between two very tough teams

True. The short passing game is probably the key. It's raining and fairly cold here but I'm heading to Heinz shortly. Hope we cash tonight.

MK: I am picking the Cardinals here to cover with 6 points at the hands in a game where both teams know they will not get any further than the next stage. The Cardinals are more of a defensive team allowing just a little over 18 points a game while the Panthers would need to score more than that to win and cover -6 line. ARI Cardinals +6

SportsMavin: Last games have proven the Panther’s resilience, but considering the weakness of their Divisional record against the Cardinals and the fact that according to the lines the game should end somewhere at 22-16 Carolina – I think that the Cardinals will not allow that kind of a low production on their part and the line dropping from 39 total points to 37.5 proves that the game is expected to be played in a defensive mode on the part of the both teams. I also pick the Cardinals here. ARI Cardinals +6

KingMidasTouch: I do not believe that the Cardinals are good to win anymore games this season. But I alos must agree that the line is set to high at 6 points. I pick ARI Cardinals +6

VagasWikiLeaks: First of all I want to thank MK for allowing me to be a part of the team here. I also want to thankother members of the team for welcoming me here. As far as the game in Carolina goees – I think quite opposite to what my elder and most respected colleagues think. In my opnion – the line was set high inviting people to bet Arizona because it is otherwise against all common sense to make a negative record holder a 6 points favorite against the team that led it’s division most of the regular season. CAR Panthers -6

Phixer: I go with VWL here and will pick the local team to cover. CAR Panthers -6

Since it is my pick and we did not come here to any consencus as to who will win and cover – I will go with my pick all the way.

This is a 10 Units Play

CAR Panthers -6 -110

nfl playoffs 1-0 +1000$

AFC Wildcard Playoff: PIT Steelers vs BAL Ravens

This is a fierce rivalry which has gone to the playoff 3 times - 2002. 2009 and 2011/ All the games were played in Pittsburgh and all have ended in favor of the Steelers. Well, 4 years later we again have this meeting - so what is so different now compared to the previous meetings?

MK - The most interesting wildcard game by far. Bell's absence from the Steelers line up weakens the multi dimensional attacking capabilities of the Steelers and puts all the weight on Antonio Brown offensively. Same Brown who burned the Ravens in a recent mmeting between the teams posting an 11 catch, 144 yard performance and catching a spectacular 54 yard touchdown pass in the fourth quarter. So, will the Ravens' pass defense ranked 23rd be able to contain Brown? I doubt it. I also doubt the refs will cut any slack to the Ravens in Pittsburgh. PIT Steelers -3.5

SportsMavin - The Steelers are high in ranking in many categories and when we come to Big Ben - there is no doubt he's a better mission oriented QB than Flacco. PIT Steelers -3.5

KingMidasTouch: I can clearly see how Bell's absence is going to be instrumental in this game: instead of hurting the Steelers offensive efforts - it will give the Steelers an opportunity to display Brown's all around capacity - but there are no guarantees for that. PIT Steelers -3.5

VagasWikiLeaks: This is a clearly "will the Steelers be as offensively prudent without Bell" and "will the Ravens make significant improvement on pass defense" game. If I have to choose between the two - my answer is BAL Ravens +3.5

Phixer: Harbaugh brother's tenure this season is not going to end in Pittsburgh. There is no way the Raven's will be as transparent in their offensive and defensive plays as they were last time around in Pittsburgh. And even if they will lose - I like the half point hook on a FG here. BAL Ravens +3.5

Here, as in the game in Carolina - I will be at the minority by choosing the Ravens, but that is my pick and I will go with all the way.

This is a 10 Units Play

BAL Ravens +3.5 -110

win +1000$
