Staying with my original predictions of the Eaglos and Steelers.

Many people will be fooled by the Ravens getting the win this weekend. The Titans moved the ball up and down the field on them all afternoon.

They didn't? I could believe "bend but don't break" if they actually stopped the Titans. Two Titan fumbles occured after the player had run for a first down. One occurred at the goal line. None was caused by some earth shattering hit or fantastic play. The Titans gave that one away. The only other explanation is that God was looking favorably on his highly exalted preacher's team.

Don't be silly, Dolphin. The Ravens wanted it more. The better team never loses in the playoffs. Ever.

This game was an example of both teams playing bad but one team had to win. Sometimes it goes like that.

The Ravens were one of my few wins this weekend. There was no way I deserved to win that one.

What game were you watching don? What that picture does not tell is that he jumped, looking to get into the end zone.

Just to further derail this thread further, Joe Flacco is quickly becoming one of the most overrated players in the game.

Did you read what you just posted?

Big Ass Alge Crumpler jumped to the end zone from the seven yard line???

With his breakaway speed he was going to fly twenty feet.

The line backer and safety hit Crumpler at the same time, sending him in the air.

I may be wrong on the jump but your video evidence is just as damning that he got blow'd up. Two glancing blows. Nothing out of the ordinary about the tackles.

Flacco is a game manager. Like with Dilfer before him, the Ravens win on defense and the running game.

Put me down for both favorites this weekend.

Look at you, venturing into these uncharted waters.

By the way, I went to Hammond during the Christmas season for the Christmas Story Comes Home display. There are some massive old homes along state line road that I never knew about. It had me openly stating that I'd be willing to move.

Yes, that's an undiscovered gem of South Hammond. Those homes, while charming and huge, are ancient. I'm not a Do-It-Yourself at Lowe's like Jurko so I never considered buying in there. Let me know when you're down this way next and I'll buy you a beverage, counselor.

Before our relationship goes any further, I must warn you that I have intimacy issues.

The Ravens have been living off of one thing, turnovers. It's tough to predict whether they will occur, but I'd bet the Steelers win that battle.

Have you come around to my way of thinking on this, GD?

On the micro level, of course. There are teams that specifically concentrate on holding onto the ball. I would think a running team like the Steelers would. Since the pass is not an essential part of their game, the both the chances and the opportunities for interceptions are reduced.

On the macro level, I am not convinced. Certainly a guy like Lovie is not convinced. I don't know if that makes me feel any better.

I know the Steelers did not run the ball well during the year. I would attribute that in heavy part to the loss of significant time by their two top RB. I cannot deny a reduction in the quality of play of their OL.

After a week off, both the RB and the OL came out on fire. I don't know if that is attributable to the Chargers line play or health.

I still think this will come down to turnovers, which should steer in the Ravens favor. I just don't think so.

I got killed last week. Time to get it back. I've got about 8 prop bets on these games. But I won't bore you with that. Here is the main course.

Arizona +4

Arizona/Philly Over 46.5

Baltimore +6

Balt/Pitt Under 34
