The biggest game next week is not the meaningless matchup between the 2 teams that will be the #1 and #2 seeds in the real conference, but rather it is the game on Monday night for the lead in the AFC North. The Ravens will be healthy for the first time this season, as Steve McNair, Chris McAllister, Jonathan Ogden, and Trevor Pryce are all supposed to return and they will need every last one of them to go into Pittsburgh and beat "Big" Ben Roethlisberger, Willie Parker, and the rest of their mirror image, the Steelers.

The winner of the game will be the 1st place team in the AFC North, the best division in football. However, if the Ravens lose the game, they will be 4-4 with their toughest stretch coming up (rematches at home against Cincinnati and Cleveland, followed by a trip to San Diego, and home games against New England and Indy, then they finish with Miami, Seattle, and a rematch with Pittsburgh) and just about out of the playoff chase.

Who are you going with to win?

I'm going to be so sick during this game. Baltimore always give Pittsburgh the most trouble. I look for this game to be a low-scoring brawl. I believe Pittsburgh could win just because the Steelers have a better offense then the Ravens, but this game is going to be ugly. I also hate that since the game is on MNF, I'm forced to listen to Tony Kornheiser. I'll probably have the mute on 5 minutes into the game.

That's my 2 for 2.

Steelers win. Ravens finish third in the division behind...THE BROWNS!!! The brownies are back and have a weak schedule left except for the steelers, ravens, and seahawks.

steelers are 5-2 dummy steelers will crush the ravens (raqvens have no offense) don't give me any Kyle Boller crap.

the AFC east is definatly the toughest.....haha, no

ravens will win. theyve only lost because they have had injuries like u siad

Well, Baltimore has 0 offense and a weaker D for their standards. Steelers will win because of the running game and the tough D. Did you see what did to the so called "high powered attack" of the Bungals? The Ravens don't have as nearly as good of an offense. Oh yea that's right, we get to blessed with the voice of Tony Kornheiser. (sigh)

The Steel Curtain will shut down Airless McNair and that weak Ravens offense. What are they averaging, 9 points a game or something? No match. Fast Willie will have another 100 yard game and Hines will tie the Steelers receiving TD record. The Steelers are undefeated at Heinz field and will stay that way.
