00:00Take a look at the Steelers and the Ravens, Joe.

00:03This is one of those where like, hey, the Steelers should be so far away from the Ravens

00:06that this game shouldn't even matter.

00:08Not the case.

00:09Seems like they both stink right now.

00:11But look at this.

00:12The Ravens at home favored by five and a half to six, depending where he's shopping at,

00:16and a total of 43 and a half.

00:18I'm telling you right now, when I look at Baltimore, I still have optimism because I

00:23think Lamar can get a little bit healthier now, has a little bit extra time off.

00:25There's better players on Baltimore, and every time I see a Pittsburgh play, I go,

00:30I don't know how they move the football at all.

00:33Aaron Rodgers is absolutely cooked.

00:35He's got a broken wrist.

00:37The running game is average at best.

00:38There's no deep threat wide receiver.

00:40You cover DK Metcalf, and nobody can beat you here.

00:43I like the Ravens early week.

00:44As bad as the Ravens have been, I like them over the Steelers.

00:48I do not.

00:50Absolutely not.

00:51Because take what you've seen from both of these teams to this point, and throw it out

00:57the window.

00:58These two teams, forever, Donnie, nine of the last 11 games have been decided by one

01:06score or less.

01:07Okay?

01:08The average point scored in these games is barely 40 points here between these two teams.

01:15Nobody, this one series, just throw it all out the window.

01:20Now, this isn't one of the best Ravens teams that we've seen.

01:24I mean, heck, there have been a lot of question marks about the Steelers over the last couple

01:28of seasons, certainly offensively, which, hello, is why they signed Aaron Rodgers.

01:33And yet, the Ravens, much better team last year, couldn't pull away from them.

01:38I don't see, this to me is always going to be a series, low scoring, and it's going to

01:43come down to special teams.

01:45Who makes the field goal when it matters the most?

01:47It's a three-point game one way or the other.

01:49No way am I laying more than a field goal with the Ravens.

01:53I don't care that it's home.

01:55This series always tells us the same thing, Donnie.

01:58Fewer points, field goal wins it.
