Pittsburgh @ BALTIMORE
BALTIMORE -2½ -110 over Pittsburgh

There’s an elephant in the room so let’s get that out of the way right off the bat. No question that the tsunami of the Ray Rice situation has been a distraction and that distraction has many people laying off the Ravens. Over here, where the fades are high and the advice is free, we’re not one of them. Adversity reveals character and the Ravens have a great opportunity to show what they’re made of. The scandal is grabbing headline news all over the civilized world and so what we have here is an overreaction to the Ray Rice situation. Baltimore has been prepped to play without Rice for weeks now so the only thing that is new is the reaction upon the video surfacing. We can assure you that Goodell and Harbaugh both knew this was coming (the suspension and public outrage) and we’ve covered that at the end of this analysis. Truth is, the Ravens may have already dealt with this situation prior to last week’s game against Cincinnati. The media blows everything out of proportion and in this case they are blowing the Ravens’ players reaction or impact on them out of proportion.
Lost in all this is the Steelers blowing a 27-3 halftime lead against Cleveland before sneaking out a win with a late field goal. The Steelers were torched on the ground for 183 yards and close to 400 yards of total offense. They also took 11 penalties for 96 yards. The Steelers offense looked sharp in the first half but it was a different story in the second half after adjustments were made. In fact, Pittsburgh was outscored in the second half 24-3. Now on a short week and having to travel, the Steelers take a step up in class.

Baltimore’s loss last week to Cincinnati was not a bad one at all. The Ravens were tough defensively and were mostly dinged by the long touchdown to A.J. Green. In fact, Baltimore had 26 first downs to the Bengals 16, despite Andy Dalton getting time to pass the ball all game. Cincinnati’s offensive line is vastly superior to the Steelers O-line so expect more pressure from the Ravens against Big Ben (Roethislberger was sacked four times last week). The Ravens also fought back from being down 15-0 at the half to taking a lead in the fourth quarter before succumbing to a late Cinci TD. Joe Flacco still went off for 345 yards passing and it should be noted that Flacco has one of the best home winning percentages in history in September. Baltimore had a good game last week against a tough opponent and they figure to be even more focused tonight.The Ravens rarely make franchise missteps when it comes to drafting, re-signing players, letting players leave via free agency and free agent signings. Don’t think for a second that they weren’t prepared for the Ray Rice situation because they were. The Steelers are still one of the most public and overvalued teams in the business. When you combine that with the black could hanging over the Ravens, it provides us with a strong opportunity to cash in against it.
----------------------------------------------
Ray Rice: The NFL may be in for a long, hard discussion with the Ray Rice issue. Let's keep it real, shall we? When I saw the initial footage of Ray-Ray and his fiancée getting into the elevator appearing intoxicating and when those doors opened he’s dragging her unconscious body out of the ‘vator and onto the floor, it seemed obvious to me and everyone else that Rice hit her, considering that domestic assault charges were filed. Part of keeping it real is understanding that they were in a casino. They have cameras everywhere. If you drop a punch in an A.C. casino, they have footage of it. There isn’t an inch of public area that isn’t under camera surveillance. Now the only question for Roger Goodell is what did he know and when did he know it? With power comes access to information and one can only imagine that the NFL has a close business relationship with Nevada and New Jersey officials because of the potential for gambling on games and gambling in general among wealthy young players. To claim ignorance to the existence of elevator video is either incredibly stupid or a bald-faced lie.
