  I say Ravens by 3 to 7. Should be a good one.

  It would be nice if we could have one football thread where there wasn't any bickering between Browns and Steelers fans especially when the thread has nothing to do with one of the teams.
  
  This game should be another one for the books. I'm pumped for it.

  Steelers had some key injuries entering yesterday's game and they added to the list.
  
  CB Bryant McFadden left the game with a hamstring injury.
  
  Ben was also limping around with a right leg injury. No doubt he'll play but might be something that could impact his mobility.
  
  DE Brett Keisel practiced all week but was a late scratch before yesterday's game.
  
  And I saw that Michael Oher went out for Baltimore.

  Huge game for both teams. With a win the Steelers could go from 6th seed to the 2nd seed I believe. Plus the Ravens have a harder schedule the rest of the way.
  Steelers-13
  Ravens-10

  According to ESPN,Ben is walking in a boot as a result of the play in which he was bent backward after the whistle had blown and the play was over.

  Heard on the radio that he has a sprained foot and are waiting on further tests.

  It's a bit more desperate for the Steelers and I hope they play with the necessary intensity (and, of course, that yesterday's ugliness was more a result of the team looking ahead to Baltimore than anything else). If Baltimore wins, they'd have to choke mightily for Pittsburgh to have a chance, as they'd be one game ahead in the standings and essentially two games up due to tiebreakers with four to play.
  
  Regardless, I expect a war.

  These are always great games.
  
  Prediction: Reed and Troy combine for 26 interceptions in one game.

  I think that number may be a little low. I say 30 lol.

  I would go as far as to say Baltimore is a better team this year than Pittsburgh.
  
  However, Roethlisberger has actually made quite a difference in this series of late.
  
  The Steelers are 5-0 in the games he's played against the Ravens since 2007 and they're 0-3 in the games he hasn't played against the Ravens. Very telling.
• GoPens

  

  Roethlisberger walking around in a boot today. Would have a huge impact on the game if he can't go.
• Ironman92

  

  Is Dennis Dixon out for the year?
• Non

  

  Yes. It would likely be Leftwich to replace Ben this time.
• Non

  

  He stayed in the game yesterday, though, and played through the injury late in the fourth and in overtime.
  
  So I think he'll play it's just a question of how limited he might be.
• bigdaddy2003

  

  I'm sure Terell Suggs, Haloti Ngata, and Jaret Johnson will be happy if he is limited but I hope he can play pretty decent. I don't want any excuses.
• Ironman92

  

  I just think it'll be trouble if Ben can't go...but I'm betting he will.

  How much vCash are you throwing on this game?
• Ironman92

  

  Leftwich, Brister, Stoudt, Bradshaw....no excuses from me...promise.
• Ironman92

  

  A nice sum. I'll put more on the Ravens winning than anyone else will.
• bigdaddy2003

  

  Can't we just skip to Sunday night? Damn.
• Ironman92

  

  patience my friend
  
  Sunday night and Monday night....those are FOOTBALL games....hopefully the refs allow all 4 teams to show their stuff.
