Week 4 Monday Night Special<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-comfficeffice" /><o></o>

<?xml:namespace prefix = st1 ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-comffice:smarttags" /><st1:City><st1lace>Baltimore</st1lace></st1:City> Ravens at <st1:City><st1lace>Pittsburgh</st1lace></st1:City> Steelers -5.5<o></o>
I know this play is coming in late but I needed every second that I could to figure out the winner in this game. This is going to set the tempo early for the division title. <st1:City><st1lace>Pittsburgh</st1lace></st1:City> will not lose this game at home. Now the question is does Pitt cover the spread. <st1:City><st1lace>Pittsburgh</st1lace></st1:City> is going to give Flacco all kinds of fits in this game. <st1:City><st1lace>Pittsburgh</st1lace></st1:City> is going to neutralize the run and force the ball into Flacco’s hands. The rookie is not ready for that type of pressure. The only question is does the Pitt O-line hold on long enough for Ben to be effective. Put it this way, when you give up 9 sacks the week before and almost get your Franchise player out for the season, the coach will give it to you in practice all week long. They will NOT have another letdown this week, because if the Ravens choose to send the house, Ben will be throwing a lot more on 3 step drops, and hitting Miller, Ward, or Holmes. The wild card in this all is all the negative press <st1:City><st1lace>Pittsburgh</st1lace></st1:City> has been getting. Everyone is NOW saying that they are extremely overrated. Hell I’ve been saying that as well, but the one thing everybody else is failing to mention is so is <st1:City><st1lace>Baltimore</st1lace></st1:City>. What has <st1:City><st1lace>Baltimore</st1lace></st1:City> done this season??? They looked good against the 2 teams from <st1:State><st1lace>Ohio</st1lace></st1:State>. This game the Ravens show their true colours and the Steelers get it done.

Mac Picks: <st1:City><st1lace>Pittsburgh</st1lace></st1:City> -5.5<o></o>
