Ravens might be due to win one of these big games.

All I know is it will be close. These games always are.

Steelers + Ravens = slobberknocker

If you're a hardcore football fan.....this game is right up your alley.

Okay, I'm running out of cliches. This should be a helluva game.

You knew it was going to happen, too bad it's not in the AFC Championship game. I'm sticking to the numbers, Pittsburgh is strong at home coming off a first round bye in the divisional round.

Both divisional games are part III's. Neat. I'll take the Steelers in this one.

Steelers usually win when Ben plays against the Ravens.

However, they would've lost the last one if not for Polamalu.

I'll be heading down for this one.

I am probably heading to Pittsburgh for this one although I won't be going to the game. I promised my friend I would go watch the game with her if Pittsburgh and Baltimore played again.

I'm a fan so I'm biased but I like the Steelers in this since they've had time to rest and think about their gameplan.

Any word on Aaron Smith?

Smith will be out.

He has done a little bit at practice but not enough to practice this week and then play after all that time off.

the "divisional" playoff term actually applies to the AFC this year

Indeed. It's good to see the 4 best teams in the AFC playing in the divisional round as well.

The forecast for next Saturday in Pittsburgh....

High: 34
Low: 20

40% chance of precipitation

Just give both teams brass knuckles and it's perfect.

I'm hoping the Steelers pull this one out. Would love to see a rematch of them against the Patriots for the Championship game. Gonna be tough for the Ravens to win, but they did already beat the Steelers at home once this year.

Not the matchup I wanted for the Steelers 1st game but the 4 best teams did advance. Another close, low-scoring game decided by a field goal in the closing minutes...Steelers 13-10
