00:03 First we start with a battle where no love is ever lost.

00:07 That's the Baltimore Ravens and the Pittsburgh Steelers.

00:10 The Steelers on the road right now booked as a favorite.

00:13 And Craig, maybe this is why.

00:16 Baltimore already knows where they stand.

00:19 13 wins this year, the number one overall seed in the AFC,

00:23 a bye week to begin the postseason.

00:26 But maybe an additional rest week to allow some of the starters

00:29 to kick back in this AFC North rivalry against the Pittsburgh Steelers.

00:34 Craig, ultimately, do you think we see Lamar Jackson out there on Saturday in

00:38 the Charm City?

00:39 >> Yeah, I don't think so.

00:42 I think that with his injury history,

00:44 it really, in this particular case, doesn't make a lot of sense.

00:47 But I do think that the Ravens are gonna come to play in this game.

00:51 I mean, Harbaugh is not gonna lay down against the Pittsburgh Steelers.

00:54 It's a division game.

00:56 At the beginning of the season,

00:57 there's a reason why the NFL schedule makers put this on week 18.

01:00 Cuz they thought maybe this would be for the division,

01:02 the last game of the season.

01:04 So I think that's why you see the line shift now down to three and

01:07 a half, as opposed to where it started off being at four.

01:11 I guess the question is, Ben, can Pittsburgh, I know Pittsburgh beats Seattle,

01:14 but they got a little lucky at the end of that game to win by as much as they did.

01:18 But Pittsburgh, generally speaking, would love to win by a minuscule of a point,

01:23 and just somehow get to the playoffs.

01:25 So I really don't have a strong position on this game, but

01:28 if I had to lean to one side, I probably would take Baltimore.

01:31 And at the very least, I would take Baltimore in the first half.

01:34 I don't know what the Ravens are gonna look like in the second half of this game.

01:38 And my concern would be is, guys, if they even pulled Huntley and

01:43 went another direction for, let's say, the final quarter,

01:45 then at that point you would really have to favor Pittsburgh.

01:48 But not my favorite game on the schedule, but certainly love the fact that

01:52 the NFL gave us a Saturday game this week, so I can't complain.
