00:00Ravens, Steelers, three up and down on the spread, 48 and a half on the total.

00:08I just want to say, these next three games are all awesome.

00:10Yes.

00:11These next three games.

00:12It's got to be the Steelers, and it's got to be the under.

00:15That's what this matchup is about.

00:17A classic AFC North matchup, I don't think I want to lay more than three points with

00:23either team.

00:24Now, granted, myself, I think you would say the same thing, that we have our hesitation

00:29about the Steelers' offense overall.

00:31Yes.

00:32The Steelers' offense is not the Bengals' offense.

00:34And the Bengals' offense put up 1,000 yards and points the other night against the Ravens.

00:38That's not going to happen.

00:39So what is the Steelers' game plan is they have to slow this Ravens' offense down, and

00:45you don't want this to turn into a shootout, because if this turns into a shootout, that's

00:49what the Ravens want.

00:50Right.

00:51So it has to be the under.

00:52It has to be a slow game.

00:53It's Pittsburgh not behind me, but Pittsburgh behind Dave.

00:56It's about the Steelers.

00:57It's about the under.

01:00It's cold weather, AFC North matchup.

01:02But it's us behind Pittsburgh, not Pittsburgh behind us, since Steelers and the under.

01:07There you go, Dave.

01:08That one's for you.

01:09We're celebrating your team, hopefully, coming up here soon.

01:11But I totally agree, because I think there's moments where the Bengals' defense, who we

01:15haven't seen really much big play out of them, right?

01:18They had their moments where they really started to slow down that Ravens' offense.

01:21It looked like it could be their game.

01:23And the Steelers have the right minds, the right players, the right talent to do exactly

01:27that.

01:28And if they slow down, force them into their game, and more so be that powerhouse in the

01:31second half, where a Ravens team is usually coming in a bit more fatigued sometimes.

01:36If the Steelers can slow down Derrick Henry, the passing game, I think, will suffer because

01:41of the play action won't be there for the Ravens.

01:44I think the Steelers are alive to win.

01:46All right.

01:47Steelers, Pittsburgh not behind us, us behind Pittsburgh.

01:50And that's the way we're going to roll with that one.
