00:00All right. Well, here is the gift of the week. Is it? I look, I mean, you know me, I'm very

00:08careful. I'm measured with these picks, but Matt, these two teams have played a million

00:14times. It's a last second field goal one way or the other. It was three and a half earlier

00:19in the week, Ravens and Steelers. Now it's, it's the number is three. I got to take Pittsburgh,

00:25you know, like I just, I always just take the points in this series. It's going to be

00:2916, 15, 14, 13, 21, 20 with a minute to go. And you know, I think the difference for me

00:38this time around that in this game, call me crazy, call me crazy is the fact that I'm

00:43not positive. Justin Tucker is going to kick the game winning field goal for the first

00:47time in like 10 years. So for me, that's why I think Pittsburgh is my play here. Obviously

00:53I can see Baltimore winning, but doesn't it feel like this every year, same game doesn't

00:58matter where they play lines, always three, three and a half. And then it comes down to

01:01the end. Yeah. Whether one team sitting there starters, whether they're not, it doesn't

01:05matter. It's going to be a close game. And the fact Pittsburgh is at home, I think kind

01:09of gives them that little extra edge for sure. At least with the spread. But yeah, I think

01:14what's interesting about this game is you mentioned Justin Tucker, not being able to

01:18fully trust him this year. You really can't trust that Baltimore defense at all either.

01:23And now that Pittsburgh kind of has their passing game going a little bit, at least

01:26their deep passing game going, and that's opened up the running game as well. That offense

01:31just looks a lot better than it did even early in the year when they were winning some of

01:35these close games. Maybe you might even call them fluky games at times, but they were coming

01:40through there and now it just feels like they're much more of a complete team. And yes, they're

01:45still playing a close game like they did last week where they easily could have lost, but

01:50they're finding ways to win. They have that veteran quarterback who knows what he's doing.

01:54Looks like he's got his mojo back a little bit and we know they have a great defense.

01:58So this is going to be a fantastic game. I'm really looking forward to it. Baltimore's

02:01offense is scary. And if they get some turnovers early, maybe we get ourselves a little bit

02:06of a surprise avalanche, but I don't think so either. I think it's going to be close.
