Early playoff odds

Ravens -7.5

For those who preferred the Ravens, had the Steelers drawn the Texans, Steelers would have been a 1.5 point favorite.

 

Makes sense. I still would've had a hard time seeing us as true road favorites (even against a lesser team like Houston)...

The defense better show the f up this week. Seems like our only chance of winning.

 

I think the Ravens are going to run Henry down the Steelers throat. In the game in Pittsburgh, the Steelers didn't stop him, Harbaugh didn't use him nearly enough.

 

Anything thing is possible in divisional games.

These teams know each other well.

I’m not saying the Steelers will win, but it wouldn’t surprise me if they did.

 

Sounds like you are going to have nightmares all week. Maybe you should start drinking now. I don’t understand how everyone like yourself can be so pessimistic. Steelers and Ravens are always very close games. More than likely it will be a one score outcome.

 

Does Holcomb get any playing time?

Could he help the run defense?

 

Only 7.5?

 

I’m seeing 8.5 and 46 O/U

 

No doubt this game could go either way! However if the Steelers would have played inspiring Football and won against the Bengals it would erased some doubts that they actually will have some fight in them we have no doubt that it's going to be ugly to say the least! The positive Steelers get one more week to play! Hope for the best prepare for the worst!

 

Ravens are -455 on the ML. Vegas certainly doesn’t feel as if any team could win. Steelers are a huge underdog and rightfully so. The only positives are that up until the last game against them we have had their number recently and playoff Lamar has struggled. I’m just not so sure this team hasn’t already checked out. Sure looks like GP has.

 

Why is it pessimistic to look at things realistically?

Always very close games?

Was the game a few weeks ago a close game?

Could the Steelers win, sure? Is it realistic to think they will? Nope. Vegas wasn't built betting against the odds.

I'd give the Steelers about a 20% chance of winning.

Why is it that people are so afraid to face reality?

If you're going to quote history when it comes to the Steelers vs Ravens, are you going to ignore Tomlin's playoff history or more appropriately, the past month of play?

 

The Steelers are going to shock the world

 

If the Steelers pull off this big upset it would be the most embarrassing loss in the Ravens franchise history. That would make our season a success even if we lost by 50 to the Chiefs the next week. Ruining the Ravens season by knocking them out of the playoffs on their home turf would be hilarious. I don't think this will happen but boy would that be great.

 

We’re going knock the wings off the Ravens! Let’s go Steelers!

 

This year, it basically breaks down to if Henry gets more than 100 yd of rushing, the Ravens win. If he gets less than 100 yd, the Ravens lose or is a one score game.

 

For some reason I have a good feeling bout this one! But it could just be gas! There is no way that we would be favored at the Texans unless they are sitting all of their starters! I just think the rivalry and everything with Baltimore will bring out a really good Pittsburgh team and it’s hard to beat a team twice in just a couple of weeks!

 

its up tp 9.5 now on fandual. i dont know if i should make move now or getting better number if i wait till mid week

 

I think the Ravens will top out at a 10.5 favorite.

 

Same thing I'm seeing on Caesars. I'd be surprised if you'll see 10 points. I think they're underselling the likely absence of Flowers

 

Steelers are also the longest odds to win it all out of all the playoffs teams at +9000

 

Think about that for a moment considering the Texans and Broncos even Commanders. We are considered worst than all of them. Just pathetic.

 

I've noticed recently that Russ is generally good, until he decides he needs to play Superman. That's when things get ugly, because he's not the fresh, shiny Superman that just arrived from Krypton. No, he's the aged, beat-up Superman that keeps getting his cape stuck in the phone booth door hinges.

Don't get me wrong, I like the guy and think he gives us something more presently than Fields and is definitely an upgrade over KFP - but he's beyond his carry-the-team-on-his-back days.

 

Speaking of betting, I'd like some credit for taking out Flowers. I took him for over receiving yardage Saturday in a parlay.

True to my luck, someone I pick always gets hurt.

You're welcome

 

I mean come on bro, if you're gonna do it, do it right - Lamar.
