whats the injury report looking like?

**MD Boy** · 11-29-2012, 03:11 PM

Shittsburgh - 9
Baltimore - 34

Like Ray said after Flacco drove them 92 yards to victory in Pittsburgh last year, the balance of power in the AFCN has shifted. The Ravens are making a run at for a top 2 seed while the steelers are barely hanging on. I think the ravens pick up where they left off in SD and come out aggressive, not tight to the vest like the did in pitt 2 weeks ago.

Ravens 23

Steelers 13

Ravens win, San Diego beats the bengals and you know what that means. Another great weekend in Baltimore.

If Roethlisberger is still vulnerable, Tomlin would be stupid to let him play. The Steelers' number one priority has to be Ben's health. A win over the Ravens would be meaningless if they can't finish strong and make the playoffs - and they certainly cannot without Ben. If they are smart, they stick with Batch and take their chances. Give Ben another week to recuperate and they could still make it to 10-6 after a loss in Baltimore.

With an EFFECTIVE Roethlisberger, Ravens win 23-20.

Otherwise, Ravens win 27-13.

**GOTA** · 11-30-2012, 08:16 AM

This is going to be a message game for the Ravens.

Ravens 31
Steelers 17

Based on events since our 13-10 outing vs the Pitt squad just a fortnight ago...

- The Hair being back will bring about a Ravens point deduction of three

- Batch, Brown and the general Steeler tenacity that comes out when their hindparts are exposed may enable them to pull an additional 6 points out of their ass.

- Coming off that 4th and 29 HOF caliber type play, Ray Rice may want to make another statement at this time - add 3 pointollas

- Flacco will be even calmer, cooler and collecteder while playing at home - plus it up another 6

- The electrifying energy that blasts out of every single hot blooded Ravens Fan and Player in Our House is worth at least 7 points.

- Intangibles. The smell of blood is in the air. This team has worked very hard at improving their killer instinct the last couple of years. Here's where it pays off.

Ravens 26
Steelers 16

P.S.
For the Fans going to the Game:
Don't let the fact that Therapist Ben ain't playing lull you into some kind of trance like last year's playoff game.

We clinch a playoff bertth and possibly the Division and we need to make a statement on Natrional TV. Time to BRING IT BALTIMORE!

I vote for this ^

33-16 good guys.

Forecast for Sunday? PAIN!

**wickedsolo** · 11-30-2012, 12:44 PM

20-9, Ravens.

Steelers defense is still good and could come to play. With Ben out though, I think Charlie Batch is going to be in for a long evening and I see a couple of FG's being the only real points for them.

**jefe96** · 11-30-2012, 12:56 PM

No Ben. No Woodley. Troy P for probably just one series before he pulls up lame again. Will be tight for awhile but could get out of hand late. Ravens 31-13.

**PerpetuallyBored74** · 12-01-2012, 08:01 PM

34 - 6, Ravens

**Irish Raven** · 12-01-2012, 08:43 PM

26-10 good guys

Tucker will get four field goals

Pitta and Rice with one TD each

Kruger 2 sacks, Suggs 1 sack, Art Jones 1 sack
Cary Williams 1 Int

Heath Miller will get a TD

That's a pretty conservative prediction I think, nothing crazy here

**EdinMB** · 12-01-2012, 09:36 PM

Flacco throws 3 INTS and Steelers win 17-14. M&T streak ends!

Yeah....go with that. When was the last time Flacco threw 3 int's much less 3 at home?

**HKusp** · 12-01-2012, 10:03 PM

2010 was the last time he threw more than 2 and it was actually 5 against Cinci, but that was in Cinci. The time before that was 3 Vs. Greenbay in Greenbay on monday night. I was there and he was not good. That was 2009. Not much chance of him giving up 3. Now Batch on the other hand, he seems much more likely to me.

**lobachevsky** · 12-02-2012, 08:00 AM

I predict that with The Hair back in the PGH starting defense, Harbaugh will take risk avoidance to an entirely new level today. The Ravens game plan will make that of two weeks ago look like mad-bomberville: run, run, safe pass or draw, punt, pin 'em back, play defense, lather, rinse, repeat. Everyone in Baltimore will be screaming for Cameron's head by the end of the game--except for those of us who finally have come to realize that Cam is only following orders.

(Bonus prediction: We're not going to see a semblance of an NFL offense from this team for the rest of the regular season until & unless last week's conditions repeat--down by >1 score with <10 minutes to play.)

**HoustonRaven** · 12-02-2012, 09:12 AM

One TD in nine quarters combined with managing only 200 yards of total offense the last time we played tells me it's another close.

The team that scores on defense / special teams wins the game.
