Like Mike Tomlin said last year.....it's the Steelers-Ravens.......it would be a big game if it was a scrimmage.
Whether the Steelers get playoff help or not....I would love to see them knock off Baltimore. The season after Super Bowl XL.....the Bengals could've made the playoffs and they played the Steelers in their last game of the regular season. The Steelers beat them in OT on a Holmes TD. I remember watching the NFL Films recap of that Steeler season and they showed the players on the field warming up before the game saying....."If we're not going to the playoffs....they're not going to the playoffs."
Even if the Steelers end up on the outside looking in......I want Baltimore right there next to us. Misery loves company.

It will definitely be a close game. I have a bet with my friend who lives in Pittsburgh. If the Steelers win then I have to wear a Steelers hat and carry around a terrible towel with me the whole night when she comes to Ohio next month but if the Ravens win she has to wear a Ray Rice jersey the whole time. Nothing major but bets always make the games more interesting.

Huge matchup. GOod chance Ill be @ the game...my 4th of the season... Most years they have a great record with me in attendance...but this year only 1-2 so far.....
So much needs to happen for them to make the playoffs......so Im not too concerned as all the steeler can do is win out and pray, hope and pray some more.

I think the Steelers win this home game, it should be a very hard hitting game.

Being the Ravens needed ot to beat the Steelers with their 3rd string qb last game at home, I'm going with the Steelers 24-10.

....had the 3rd string QB been allowed to run some more plays...actually running himself.....they woulda won
That was one of the many Bruce Arians chicken shit games.

Ray Rice runs wild on the 'Has-Been Defense. Flacco throws all over the 'Never-Was Secondary'. Ravens make Pittsburgh fans cry in their IC Lights.

You're probably right on the secondary sucking as usual, but I would be surprised if they can run consistently. The front seven have been pretty solid. Not that it will matter with the clowns we have behind them.

Sounds like Polamalu could play Sunday. That would be awesome news.

The Ravens still have a shot to make it with a loss. The Steelers dont. All the teams that we need to lose has a very good chance of doing so. But we to win or nothing else matters.

These two teams always put out a great game to watch. I think everyone assumes because the Ravens only won by 3 against the 3rd string quarterback in the last game that Pittsburgh is going to come in and walk on the Ravens but I just don't see it happening.

I'll stick by my 24-10 score but I've been wrong before. Hell, I'd take a 7-6 win. Troy would be one heckuva boost if he can go.

Troy said his tests were "encouraging" and that he feels fine. We'll see.Al Capone wrote: Sounds like Polamalu could play Sunday. That would be awesome news.
