    These teams have a long history.

    This season:

    Week 4: In Pittsburgh. Steelers win 23-20
    Week 15: In Baltimore. Steelers win 13-9

    Playoff history (ignoring the Browns before they moved to Baltimore):

    Divisional playoffs, after 2001 season: Steelers win 27-10, before losing to the Cheatriots.

    Just a classic QB duel in that one.

    Elvis Grbac vs. Kordell Stewart

    Because I hated both QBs and because I hate the Steelers and knew they would win, I chose to attend my uncle's retirement party from Budweiser which caused me to miss most of the game.

    Going into that game it was as unappealing a playoff game as possible. It certainly followed through on it.

    unlikely to have that many points. Top two defenses in the NFL.


    I'll take Ravens in an upset, I think. 16-13.

    I'd be surprised to see anyone crack 20 points in this game. Defense is a wash, and I'd take Pitt's offense over Baltimore's. This is going to be an extremely physical game. I see a tight first half before Pittsburgh manages to put some points up while Baltimore never moves the ball.

    Prediction:
    Steelers 17
    Ravens 6

    Steelers trail 16-10 on the last drive of the game and go down and score a controversial TD to win by 1, thus leading to yet more fans having something to whine about 20 years from now.

    All kidding aside...gonna be a grindstone game. I'm gonan be popping Tums early on trying to get rid of the heartburn in advance.

    Pitt, not contest. Baltimore is good, but i don't think their offense can beat steeler's defense. But i bet pittsburg can score on Baltimore though.

    the two teams played twice, and both were very tight. It's just wrong to say the Ravens have no chance, unless Suggs, Heap, Mason, and Reed don't play.

    Currently, Bannan, Suggs, McClain, Heap, and Jarret Johnson are questionable.

    Rolle is doubtful, leaving the Ravens without both of their starting corners. At the start of the season, it was Rolle and Chris McAlister.

    I'm not going to be around later. This should be a good, physical game. But the Ravens are too beat up to keep this close

    Steelers 27 Ravens 13

    As much as I'd love to see Baltimore win, it won't happen.

    Steelers - 17
    Ravens - 12
