Pittsburgh @ Baltimore

[ChadC]

I really like Pittsburgh getting 5 1/2 tonight. The Ravens will be resting a lot of players and keeping things basic. I really think the Steelers will actually play hard tonight and stuff Jamal Lewis. Anyone else agree or disagree?

I tend to agree. Offensively, the Ravens are limited in this situation. On the one hand, Lewis is chasing a record; but, inasmuch as they're now in the playoffs, the smart play is to be conservative with players and avoid injury. Aside from Lewis, the Ravens' offense is anemic and will suffer against a fired-up Steelers squad. Last point in favor of taking the Steelers: Anthony Wright.

ChadC,

I have to agree. Besides, these two teams know each other pretty well. It's usually a field position / time of possession battle with these two.

I Like the under here.

One of my best friends likes to say, "teasers are sucker bets."

Therefore, I'll tease away as follows:
Steelers +11.5
Over 31.5
