Saturday's Predictions

[funky141]

This is a tough game to call, most likely a last second field goal to win.
Flacco 250 yds and a TD
Rice 75 combined yds
Boldin 80 yds a TD
Mason 50 yds
Heap 35 yds
2 field goal
Defensive TD

Rothisberger 275 yds and 2 TDs
Mendenhall 65 yds
Wallace 90 yds a TD
Ward 50 yds
Miler 10 yds a TD
3 Field goals (1 is the game winner)

23 - 20 Steelers (I do hope I'm wrong)

Don't think Wallace will go for 90 yards.....he only has 7 receptions and 100 yards COMBINED in the first two matchups. Now, of course, the past means nothing, but our (Ravens) D knows how important it is in keeping the big plays out of this game.

Ravens 24
Steelers 17

[Perfekt]

This game could honestly go either way since both teams are so similar. It will be a great game from start til finish. I hope we pull out the win tho.

[reediddy]

I'm thinking, honestly, a 20-13 Ravens win. Roethlisberger will probably get one clutch drive in there to the 1 allowing Mendenhall to punch it in. Our offense has been consistent against this defense, and it gives me confidence seeing how the Ravens drove on a pretty good Chiefs defense last week

I'm guessing he will get one big catch but maybe not..It's just a prediction..

Too close to call...Photo finish!!!

5 TDs? In [i]this[/i] game? You're kidding, right?

[Gtown Purple]

If we protect Flacco we win, plain and simple.

[Patriots2001]

Ravens - 21
Steelers - 17

Picking who you want to face in the AFCCG are we?

[T-ray]

I hope we win this game, and as long as Flacco takes care of the ball, then I'm calling the Ravens. 17-13

No not at all !!! Brady is 6-1 against the Steelers,we match up very well against them !! The Ravens not so much..

I am a big fan of Ray Lewis always have been !!! If my Pats can't win I will be rooting for Baltimore..

[gabefergy]

I think we win this game, but I doubt the score will be very high.

Ravens 16

Steelers 13

As far as individual performances go Flacco will need to have a good day 200+ yards and a TD, no picks. I think Ben will have similar numbers but he has a tendency to take more risks, I'm hoping he throws a costly INT to Mr. Reed. I actually expect a lot of production from unheralded Steelers like Emmanual Sanders in this game, I hope I am wrong but I could see him having a big day.

We attract a lot of people from other teams fanbases don't we?

I hope you're right on both counts though, that we win and we give the Pats a better match in the AFCCG.

Although, I'd much rather face the Jets for obvious reasons.

Of course we all know that historically they are low scoring contests, just having some fun here.

11-6 ravens

[A Fish Called Yanda]

Bunch of crazies around here.

Pitt beat us w/ pretty much the exact same team last time. This time they have 2 weeks rest. Very little chance for us. Hope I'm wrong, but being realistic here, I'm expecting a loss.

Steelers: 17
Ravens: 13


EDIT: P.S. long time lurker, never really felt the need to post anything til now

[fistfullwales]

Ravens win, 20-17

[Vinnys Pizza]

This will be an absolute Mosh-Pit with only one left standing at the end.

Great matchup. Wouldn't have it any other way...

I don't think anyone is crazy for thinking the Ravens can win this game.

The Steelers won't be different from the last game but the Ravens will considering McClain and Heap missed the game. Not that their presence solves whatever issues the Ravens have in pass protection but they're both better pass blockers than Dickson and Pitta.

I don't see how the Ravens have "very little chance" when they essentially lost the last game on two plays and still might have been able to pull out a victory had Joe completed the pass to Dickson on fourth down.

[xen-uno]

With all due respect ...

Steelers 27
Ravens 17

.. and hopefully the Jets won't lay down for Patsies

Pitt having the bye makes me say "very little chance." I never said the Raven's can't win the game, nor did I call people crazy for thinking that they can, but realistically looking at it, Pittsburg has got the edge.

I pray that I'm wrong. I will be devastated with a loss, but nonetheless, the Steelers have the upper hand.

Fair enough.

You said, "Bunch of crazies around here". I'd say that's synonymous with calling people crazy.

[omar586]

it will be 12-9 ravens win

The Steelers will have Ben, Troy, Ward, Wallace, Mendenhall, Timmons, Harrison, etc., for a lot more seasons, so you're saying we won't beat them until they all retire? Get real

Steelers are 6-5 after a bye week in the last decade. Very close to a 50/50 split so I don't think the bye week is a big edge for them.

[omar586]

ravens will win because of the kickers, i don't think their kicker sushim has been to playoff game, so he will be nervous and will miss FGs, cundiff on the other hand will be our x-factor again , again, and again to win this game 12-9 score, the defenses will be the story but it will come down to the kickers.
