Anyone who thinks the Steelers/Ravens game won’t be close is just wishful thinking. Even when we’ve lost to BAL without Ben, those guys have played their asses off to make up for it. The game definitely will be close and I’m looking for a win. The defense has been great for 4 straight games and will make it 5. Steelers win 20-17. BAL can’t stop the run and the corners are poor

You know you’re a biased Steelers fan when you pick the Steelers to win, even without Ben Roethlisberger, Antonio Brown, Troy Polumalu, and a starting offensive lineman. The Steelers’ chance of winning is very low. This game might be close, but I just can’t see this Byron Leftwich – led Steelers team beating a very good Ravens team.

Both sets of fans are so insanely obnoxious, I don’t know who to root for in the Steelers-Ravens game. Can they both lose?

They could tie!

Brady will have a big game for the Pats — getting to face a Pats defense reject, Darius Butler, will help — but the Pats own rotten D will keep the game close as usual. Big day for Luck, but Brady will get the W.

Did you really just say that the Browns uniforms look like defecated yams? If so…that’s the funniest line I’ve read here in years!! nice work!

A shootout is a high scoring game that comes right down to the wire. So I won’t use that term in predicting the Oakland/New Orleans game. Because this one won’t ever be in doubt.

Both Brees and Palmer should be able to move the ball but Brees has more weapons and the less crappy defense.

Saints 48 – Raiders 29 and Norm van Brocklin’s decades old single game passing yardage record is legitimately in play for Brees. Meanwhile, I spiral down farther into alcoholism and despair.

Ravens swept the Steelers last year. Without wafflesberger it’ll be even easier this year.

This guy thinks its hilarious MDS continues to pick against the Texans. He did pick them, but to have a horrible game against a 1-8 Jacksonville team. I hope the Texans out up 60 just to shut you up.

I thought when you predicted the game wrong, it counted as a loss…(i.e. the rams-9ers game).

The Browns not only look like but also play like digested sweet potatoes.

Ravens have stunk on the road but I would be legitimately surprised if they lost to the Steelers this week. Ben has traditionally been their kryptonite, while it’s true the games without him have been close when the Ravens had a great defense and that may no longer be the case, they now have an offense that can be great. Will it be against the Steelers tough defense? We’ll see.

Offensive line play will be the key factor, if Steelers protect Byron like they have Ben against the Ravens recently, Steelers have no chance. If they protect well, Byron will find holes in our defense. Same goes for the Ravens, if our line can protect Joe, the Steelers won’t be able to match up with our guys. If they can’t, well, we’ve seen what happens when the Steelers get good pressure on Joe many times…

If the O-Line can keep Joe upright and if he stays poised, the Ravens will win. The Ravens will go as he goes. It’s never easy going against Pittsburgh, no matter the circumstance. As a fan, I hope Ben plays.

With big ben steelers woulda won by 20. Without ben we will win by 7. Great pick florio. You are spot on. Nest will be on fire after this humiliating loss. No ben no mendenhall, no brown…NO PROBLEM!!!

The most interesting aspect of the Arizona-Atlanta game is your point totals. I don’t see Atlanta scoring 35. Nor do I see 21 from Arizona.

The Steelers would be lucky to lose to the Ravens by only 4…

Yea… no way the Steelers are holding the Ravens to less points than they did the Chiefs. The Ravens D is struggling but so is the Steelers D (unless you look at a small sample 2 game stretch against a poor Chiefs team and a struggling NYG team). Joe turns up the heat and throws for 300, 2TDs, 0 INTs.

BAL-34
PIT-20

If you didn’t pick a tie between the 49ers and the Rams, you picked the game wrong. That goes in the loss column, not the tie column. Way to wash the record books to make yourselves feel better.

Last year’s Week 1 matchup aside, every Ravens/Steelers matchup since the AFC Championship game following the 2008 season has been within 7 points. Sunday night’s game will be no different.

Ravens win, 20-14.

The last time Byron Leftwich started a game and actually won was 10/8/2006. Fact remains, Steelers do not stand a chance. They’ll be lucky to make this a competitive game. Cheers!

Best thing that has happened all week…both of you pick the Bills, thank you! Dolphins win in the bank!

Pretty sure your pick goes down as a loss if you don’t predict the tie, Florio, seeing as you, you know, guessed wrong. But nice try.

I hope you are right about the 49ers but man, this will be a tough one. Even if Campbell starts it should be good, I remember some awesome moments by Campbell in Oakland (yes, yes and some bad ones too, like against the Niners)

the dolphins held 23 games in a row without allowing a big game from a rb but as soon as they have a bad game then all of a sudden they can’t defend the run anymore, idiotic.

And once again, here I am with my weekly call that you guys PLEASE start using double-spacing between the games. I don’t understand why you guys won’t make such a simple adjustment that would make these picks a thousand times easier to read.

The Steelers are 0-4 against Baltimore when Roethlisberger sits. I know you guys pray and pray for the Ravens’ downfall but I doubt they drop 55 on a team that beat Pittsburgh then come out and lose to them without their starting QB and RB.

I just hope my Steelers can stay within 14 of the Ravens
