I just want to mention somewhere, that I think the Steelers are better than the Ravens. Not enormously, not by some wide margin. Just a little bit better: a little more powerful & violent on defense (Harrison & Woodley), a little more dynamic on offense (Rapistberger & Mike Wallace). Just a bit more likely to get a key sack & fumble, or a key catch & run. The Ravens are just a bit more likely to jump offside on 4th & 1, or throw it short on 3rd & 3.
But I also think the Ravens can beat them. Yes, in Heinz Field. These two teams are awfully close. By now you've heard all the stats: 5 of their last 7 games have been decided by a FG, the 6th was a 4-pt game, and the other was the 2008 AFC Championship game: a 2-pt game in the last 4 mins of the 4th quarter, before Pittsburgh returned a pick 6. Pittsburgh is better, but the margin is very thin, and the Ravens can beat them.
I dunno if this is a heart or head pick: but I have 19-16, Ravens.

I hope a Ravens victory comes to pass, but I'm scared - scared of Mike Tomlin! We're going up against the Shaft of pro football! I'm going to join Brother Ray's prayer circle, see if that helps.
ReplyDeleteI firmly believe that when someone combines a brave prediction with name-calling that they lack the courage of their convictions.
ReplyDeleteName-calling?
