Week 9 SNF: Baltimore Ravens(5-3) @ Pittsburgh Steelers(5-3)

[37]

Pitt finishes up their mini-homestand with a crucial divisional battle against Baltimore who easily took the first matchup in week 2....Pitt is coming off a high-scoring W against Indy while Baltimore will look to rebound after a tough division L in Cincy.......Pitt's OL seems to be gradually coming together......hopefully the passing game can somewhat resemble the production of this past week.....As for the defense, I don't have anything positive to offer besides HOPEFULLY the pass-rush builds off the numerous pressures they generated against Luck cause if not, the secondary will most likely get abused again.....Would certainly be a big boost in the standings if Pitt can be victorious against a divisional team.......Discuss

Huge division game, along with a revenge game for earlier in the year. Hopefully the Steelers can keep up the momentum on offense.

I'm very excited for this game. My gut says the Steelers will win though, because I don't think the Ravens will beat the Steelers twice in one season. Plus, the Steelers are riding quite a lot of momentum after crushing the Colts (who beat the Ravens) whereas Baltimore lost to Cincinnati.

Pittsburgh has been a different team since that humiliating defeat in Cleveland. They absolutely cannot lose this game and still have high hopes for winning the division, IMO.

At home, at night, with a hot Big Ben, Pittsburgh rolls to a 35-21 victory.

Pitt should probably be favored. Ravens secondary will be without Jimmy Smith so I look for A. Brown to be a more significant factor this time. Going to have to rely too much on the offense and if they start slow ...

We'll see how it goes.

Totally agree. The Steelers are playing improved football. I look for them to coast to a 10-6 record and into the playoffs.

coast and Steelers don't go in the same sentence....recent history has proved that

[tripwire]

Do the Steeler coaches continue with their recent "all-out or nothing" mentality?

For me, any chance to beat the Ravens depends on the answer to that question.
