It has been a strange, strange week

In the 6 years of the Joe Flacco/John Harbaugh era, I have never seen so many talking heads in the media pick us to beat the Steelers with Big Jen healthy and playing. I'm actually quite surprised...you'd think with their "what have you done for me lately" approach, they'd pick the Steelers who won, over a team that wet itself in the 1st half.

I don't know if this will look like a different type of Ravens/Steelers game tomorrow but I still think this game is decided between 3-7 points like always.

which talking heads picked the Ravens? What I've seen is the other way around: http://espn.go.com/nfl/picks

On NFLN AFC Playbook this morning it was 2-1 Steelers.

I think we'll lose, but thankfully we won't be their first victory. Their drunken, loudmouth fans would never let us live that down.

Good point.

Steelers are favored by like 1 to 2.5 points depending on the book, last I checked. Since 3 points is the standard home field adjustment, it appears on a neutral field we would be a miniscule favorite.

Sounds about right to me.

I could see this game going either way, depending on which version of each team shows up.

The sad thing is that if we lose then we are even in the loss column with the same Steelers team we were declaring dead and buried a couple weeks ago.
