Yeah the Ravens won the first game against a Ben-less Steelers team but it's not like they crushed the Ravens in the second game and Ben isn't even what won the game for the Steelers. Just saying.

True, but the team is usually a completely different beast with Ben at the helm.

Dont forget the loss of Todd Heap last game. I think he will have a huge impact on this game.

And Heath Miller getting knocked out of the last matchup had an impact too.

Let's not forget, that game was in Baltimore, granted the Ravens won in Pittsburgh but again, Ben did not play. I think it will be a little different this time around not having to deal with a hostile crowd, Ben should be just fine.

Another thing heading in to this game is, unless it happens again.........Ben won't be playing with a broken nose and a bad wheel.

The Steelers are 8-0 all-time against divisional opponents in the postseason.

This is gonna be a great thread.

This game will be won by the better QB in my opinion. Who knows but, we all know this is the best matchup the NFL could have asked for. Two teams that look in the mirror and seem alot alike. I will take my Steelers by 13. I know it might seem out of line but, I see the defense having a huge game and the Steelers rolling.

I have a hard time believing this game will have that big of score difference but I guess that is why they play the games.

Typical Steelers v. Ravens game. Final score 12-10.

There will be more injuries than points in this one.

Games like these are why I love football.

The Steelers have allowed only one 100-yard rusher in the past 50 games.

But that one rusher was Ray Rice.

This will be some good football to watch!

Football is a lot like war....without the killing.

That is what this game will be like.

I'm rooting for the AFC North team....oh wait, nevermind haha it's a win/win for me.
