    Baltimore Ravens +13 (-115)

    Pittsburgh Steelers -13 (-105)

    <span> 34½ O/U</span>

    I have the Steelers (-5) in a Teaser from earlier this week. Is Baltimore, minus Ray Lewis, good enough to take 13 ??

    Just looking for opinions.

    hey man , I've got Pitt as the last game in a 4 teaser at -4.5 pts .....

    Also got the game straight at -10.5 .......
    I think Pitts gonna cover -13 anyways , but you should def chk out the lines for next week on Monday & Tuesday - before the sites can make adjustments , which usually arent in your favor.

    Go Pittsburgh !!!!!

    I know that Ray Lewis is the traditional heart and soul of their LB core, however he just doesn't seem to be quite the same this year. Probably attributed to the fact that their stellar defense is being ground into oblivion. Either way the Ravens are deep at LB so the abscence of Lewis won't hurt THAT bad, same with Reed being out. Pittsburgh doesn't go vertical enough nor do they have a bonafide gamebreaker at WR (Ward is a good WR but he lacks the height and blazing speed of some of the other premier WR's). I expect Chester Taylor to get more carries in this game, he's playing much better than Lewis and I expect his carries to reflect that. This game looks alot like the Buf/NE game last night, bitter, bitter rivalry where both teams always come to play. I don't care for the game at all, but if forced to make a play, I'll take the points, heck you might even get 14 by gametime as the public overhypes Lewis and Reed being out. This game is going to be very ugly, but should be relatively quick as both teams will run the ball, Pittsburgh because that's their M.O....Baltimore out of neccesity (seriously isn't Jeff George available?)

    Jeff George lol, another former Viking. I forgot about him. I too think this could be an ugly game, I know that Ravens aren't good and aren't making the playoffs but these two teams usually put on a good show against each other. I'm waiting until gametime to make up my mind but I'm not counting on the Ravens getting blown out just quite yet. Who knows though, it could happen.

    Xmas, crazy game on St. Louis yesterday, that surprised the heck out of me. Thought for sure it would have gone the other way. It was a great day though yesterday overall.

    Yeah, it was nice to have a winning weekend, hopefully we can put the disaster known as October behind us. I rolled college up pretty good as I added TTech, Texas overs, Michigan, and my big time suck out, USC on the moneyline @+500 over Tennessee. Took the points as well but it was a tasty treat rolling into Halloween.

    I got over 35. Steelers should be up 14-0 in the first 5 minutes.

    Very ugly game, but I still had to lay a little. It is Monday night, what else am I going to watch. I played a small number on the Ravens (I know, but I just wanted to be different). So go team go. Big week ahead of us, lets roll large in November.

    how do the steelers not win this fucking game by more than 11. I put a lot of money on them because in my mind, in an uncertain league, this is as close to a lock as it gets. I got this game when the line was steelers(-11) and thought it was a steal. Their playing the most anemic offense in the game, and a defense that is without its two best players. Not to mention its in pittsburgh, with cowher whos 10-0 all time on monday night at home. i got to the university of pittsburgh and i must say i am disgusted at the way the steelers couldnt stop shit.

    The words 'lock' and 'MNF' should NEVER be used in the same sentence. You should've read my analysis of the game. You said you're a big time Steelers fan so you should've known that Pitt's offense wouldn't be able to fully exploit the weakness' on Baltimore's defense. The history between these teams is a nasty one, they don't like each other and they always play each other verrrrry tough. I hate to kick ya when your down but if you thought THIS game was the lock of the NFL week when you had NYG/WASH, or even better the Car/Love Boat matchup (where Minnesota is 0 for the century ATS). I had alot of my buddies ranting and raving that Pitt was going to roll Baltimore...then again they made up the 80% flock that was all over Pitt tonight.
