00:00Mhm. Mhm. On this Baltimore Pittsburgh game, which may be the game of the

00:06week and it is absolutely vital when it comes to the A. F. C. North. We saw

00:11these teams played back in week 11. The Steelers came away with the 18 to 16

00:16victory. I think this game yet again is all about the under under 44.5. I do

00:22not want to take the Ravens at minus 6.5. I want to say the under, I guess

00:26I would have to bet on the Steelers just because I'm not taking the Ravens

00:29that plus at minus 6.5. I want to take the Ravens alive in this game. I want

00:33to take the Ravens at minus two and a half or minus three. You would like to

00:35say that in historic years we could just bank on that two and a half

00:39because of course Justin Tucker would hit that field goal late in the game

00:42and they've come away with the win. That's obviously not something that is

00:44as secure this year because he has been a little bit off when it comes to his

00:48accuracy. Why is this game so important? Because it's largely going to

00:52determine

00:54the A. F. C. North. When we look at the Steelers final games, they played the

00:57Ravens this week upcoming. Then they play the Chiefs. And again, the Chiefs

01:01may not have my homes on on Christmas on Wednesday, the 25th. And then the

01:05final game against Cincinnati is not going to be an easy one considering how

01:08well Joe Burrow is playing on the other side. The Ravens play at the Texans and

01:13the Texans are a good team, but they're certainly not great. And then the Ravens

01:16end the season with the Browns, which is a matchup. I think we'd all assume that

01:20they can win. As I mentioned last Thursday or a couple days ago on

01:24Thursday, the time to bet the Ravens to win the A. F. C. North was before Sunday.

01:30The Ravens were sitting at plus 1 75. If the Ravens win this game, the Ravens

01:35will not be plus 1 25 anymore. The Ravens will be the favorite to win the

01:40A. F. C. North. It is a difficult strength of schedule to close things

01:43out for Pittsburgh and is obviously much easier for the Ravens. Now, the big

01:48news for this is will George Pickens, uh, the wide receiver for the Steelers

01:51play. He's missed the last two games. We've seen a lack of offense overall

01:55from them.
