Not a fantastic matchup tonight on good ole' primetime television. The Ravens enter the game with a defense that has been solid, but has seemed to lost its edge over the past few weeks. On the other side of the ball, Kyle Boller still stinks and I actually yawn and fall asleep to the Ravens O. I mean come on, Billick must have nightmares trying to figure out plays that work with this sorry bunch of tackle football players. Things could get better however, as the "Ageless Wonder" Steve McNair makes his return after being sidelined by injury. Somehow the Ravens are still in the thick of the AFC playoff hunt.The Steelers, under new coach Mike Tomlin, have quietly put together a nice record so far this season. Big Ben has reemerged as "manager" on offense. Willie Parker does what he does and cranks his way to many rushing yards and TD's. The wide receiving corps. has not been pretty however. The combination of Ward/Holmes/Randle El has done very little in terms of production. Their defense was good last year and this year they look scary good with old D-Coordinator Tomlin using his skilled talents to better an already ridiculous D.
Prediction: Steelers 24-Ravens 14....Lets face it, the Ravens offense is the only thing holding this team back from a contender to a pretender. Or they will prove me wrong tonight, but I see too much "Fast-Action" and bone-crushing Steelers D ready to take them down.
