00:00Steelers Ravens is the other Saturday game 44 and a half over under Ravens at home minus

00:09six and a half.

00:11They are favorites.

00:12This is a huge game to determine the AFC North.

00:16And if we have that AFC North futures graphic, I said this last week, and I'll say it again.

00:21The time to bet the Ravens was last week before those Sunday games, Steelers were going to

00:27lose at the Eagles and the Ravens were going to beat the Giants surprise, surprise a 16

00:32and a half point favorites and the Ravens were sitting at plus 175 and when a division

00:36that line is down to about one plus 125 or so, we could take a quick look at this.

00:42It's off the board.

00:43All right.

00:44So that is off the board for that, but it's obviously not looking super great for the

00:48Steelers as they still have to play the Chiefs next week.

00:52And then at the end of the season with the Bengals, very tough schedule for the Chiefs.

00:55I like the under in this game.

00:57The big news also for this is, will we be seeing George Pickens play?

01:01Will we be seeing TJ Watt play for the Steelers?

01:04I think it's more about Pickens in this game, not to say that TJ Watt is going to make an

01:08impact because he of course is an immensely impactful player, but the Steelers offense

01:12has been terrible over the last few weeks when they do not have that consistent downfield

01:18threat.

01:19They cannot look to run the ball 40 times with Najee Harris when you don't have consistent

01:24receiving options.

01:26When Pat Frymouth right now is coming in at 36 and a half yards, Calvin Austin's coming

01:30at 40 and a half yards, it is a tough go at things on the off on offense for the Steelers

01:36right now.

01:37Ultimately, I'm looking at the under on this game.

01:39I could see the Ravens pushing it to the over.

01:42That's the only concern that they have that they get up and the Steelers can't score and

01:45they want to make a statement and the Ravens come out and they drop 30 some odd points

01:50and the Steelers manage their way to 14 or whatever it's going to be.

01:54And as I mentioned on the Sports Millions show with Joe Maddon, the bet for this game

01:59is a Chris Boswell prop, Chris Boswell.

02:02They can't score touchdowns.

02:03They can move the ball a little bit, but they can't score touchdowns and Chris Boswell going

02:07over six and a half kicking points or one and a half field goals, whatever might be

02:11is the bet to make for the Steelers.

02:14So those are the two Saturday games, one in 430 or whatever it is time for that.
