Everyone Picking The Steelers

[SteelersProphet]

[quote name='beach08' post='132760' date='Jan 15 2009, 06:45 PM']AND in Post Season guess what Baltimore is #2 and Pitts

1 San Diego Chargers 2 23.5 47 47 23.5
[b]2 Baltimore Ravens 2 20 40 40 20.0
3 Pittsburgh Steelers 1 35 35 35 35.0 [/b][/quote]

yea but the ravens played two games and the steelers played one game......and we only have 5 less points

so its not really fair to say you have scored better in the postseason

[quote name='pick-ups' post='132763' date='Jan 15 2009, 06:48 PM']Why last weekend were the 6 seeded teams the smallest point spread against the 1 seeds?

The makers of those spreads obviously knew something.

The way the playoffs have gone thus far anything can happen(even two 6 seeds meeting in the super bowl)never happened before.[/quote]


I would love to see yours boys in the Superbowl if we beat Pitt. Two of my roomates (and best friends) are Eagles fans and I can just imagine our house blowing up that night no matter who won.

ps. other roomate is a skins fan... he feels so left out

I'm sure he's used to it though.

..that's really wrong of me..

[macbrak]

75% pick with the spread.

95% picked the titans last week.

The thing about stats is you can make them say whatever they want.

Did you also know that 63.7% of stats are made up on the spot?

[pick-ups]

The Skins just can`t seem to get out of their own way....just pitiful..

The local writers are buying into the Ravens magic. Their only reason is karma and destiny, but I'll take it.

With a name like "Schmuck" ... it has to be good?

Sorry, that just cracks me up. In actuality, you know he's probably a level headed guy after having to endure the jokes all his life.

Here's a site where the picks are split 2 for the Steelers, 2 for the Ravens. So sorry, 'everyone picking the Steelers' is not a true statement.

Apparently you didn't score more points when we played you head to head this year......

Yeah but check out ESPN's AFC Championship preview:

When they talk about the Ravens, it's just a dialogue between the talking heads. When talk turns to the Seelers, there's big NFL Films-style music and action photos.

But they remained in the lead longer than we did, so if you combine and apply NASCAR and Boxing rules, they really kind won both.

If it makes you feel any better, Marshall Faulk said the Ravens defense was better.

[pick-ups]

Just let the teams do the talking cause all the other **** is just what it is a bunch of opinions.

Let me tell you that every day I watch them talk about the Eagle/Cards game the more nervous I get.

Sunday will come but,never fast enough.

Hmm. Picking that one is tough. You really don't know who's going to show up. The Eagles haven't exactly been the model for consistency (nor have the Cards) but they have the experience, whereas the Cards have none.

What do you think of the AFC match up? Don't be afraid to answer honestly.

[Marc2k6]

Who cares who is picking who? It does not matter nor mean anything. The only thing we should be concerned with is Sunday @ 6:30pm handling business and finishing this game unlike the previous two game we gave away!

[pick-ups]

Honestly I think the Ravens played their hearts out last week and did`nt exactly leave the game uninjured(RB`s).

If I had to pick I`d say the Steelers outlast them but,you never know(17-14)?

Just like everyone on this MB there only really concerned if their team makes it.

C'mon man, we have to have stuff to talk about. Why not this? We've already covered injuries, point spreads and bounties and it's still only Thursday!

You're a tough customer Bro. I know it kills you, so I'll take what I can get.

[SteelyJ]

No one is picking the Steelers to blow the Ravens out or vice versa. All I have heard is that the game will close and physical, these no respect threads are old and played out. The talking heads have to pick someone so they are going with the home team, that I dont think you can argue is a more complete team. Can the Ravens pull it out if a few things go their way... absolutely. Will they doubtful.

[wolfzie06]

This is the kind of pre-game hype I love. The whole country doubts us. We are called lucky, overachievers, and tired. We are given no love, no respect. We are hurt. We have a rookie QB. A tired defense. Going on the road to a healthy, powerful rival. 70,000 rabid towel-waving fans. And you know what? This is the kind of game this year's squad lives for.
