36-13 Ravens

Wilson has been found out. They will disguise coverages and confuse him. Expect 5-7 sacks.

Ravens open as a 9 point favorite, the series history would tell a better to load up on Pitt, but recent history tells a different story.

Literally praying for 52-3. I hope Harbaugh rubs it in with some trick plays that make us look like the clowns we are.

For an official prediction, I will go:

Steelers - 20
Ravens - 35

Odd that’s we hand it off to Najee twice on the first set of downs? Up the gut?

I like that you added the "just kick a FG so we're no shut out" level of embarrassment.

:lol:

Nothing would be better than down like 24-0 late in the second with the ball, some classic Tomlin-esque time management and super conservative playcalling where it's clear they're only playing for a field goal, and then Boz nailing some 58 yarder to get us some serious momentum going into the half.

Men of Cesium - 13
Sparrows - 34

Press lets loose! Tomlin resigns due to the ungrateful bastards in Pittsburgh. “They don’t deserve my services” and he walks off into the sunset!

I’m just mad that the biggest alternate spread I can get on FanDuel is Ravens -35.5 at +2000.

Tomlin pulls a stinky shit stained rabbit out his ass and wins the rematch against a division rival.

Steelers get help with a few lucky calls/non-calls and fortuitous bounces of the ball. The football pundits will again praise MT for turning the team around.

Steelers = 22
Ravens = 20

Boz breaks the record for longest FG made in NFL history early in the second half.

Then, with time expiring and the Steelers miraculously clinging to a 1 point lead, Jibbs decides to go for it on 4th and 1 instead of allowing Boz to attempt a 45 yarder.

Coradelle Patterson gets stuffed for a 3 yard loss on a toss sweep that fails miserably. It was his first and only carry of the game.

Two quick plays later Baltimore is in FG range and kicks the game winner as the clock runs out.

At the post game presser, Jibba Jabber pounds the podium that if we can’t get a yard we don’t deserve to win then thumps his chest as he spews how he wasn’t living in his fears.

Meanwhile, Dunce is busy tearing up the extension he just gave Jibbs while drawing up a new 10 year extension. He’s just tickled pink we got to participate in the crapshoot that is the NFL post-season.

I fully expect Lamar to give the Steelers some gifts, but I also expect complete offensive futility from the Steelers. So something like 19 or 23 to 6.

If we’re gonna lose, which we are, I want it to be in the most embarrassing fashion possible. Tomlin’s defense needs embarrassed again badly in a playoff game.

28-9 Ratbirds.

Nobody is surprised. Nobody cares. Tomlin gets a bonus and an extension. Yay.
