AFC Playoff Odds and Ends

If only because it's extremely difficult to continue speculating about the upcoming AFC Championship Game between the Baltimore Ravens and the Pittsburgh Steelers, I present some odds and prop bets for this weekend's game. Not that I condone gambling here on BTSC but what the hey, these are always a bit of fun to think about.

Pittsburgh Steelers                             3/2

If I were to make a bet, which I won't be, I'd definitely take Hines Ward's over/under receiving yards. Same with Santonio Holmes. Same with Big Ben.

Yeah, I think the offensive side of the steelers is the safest way to bet. The ravens players they mention (beside flacco) are all banged up, and only mason has ever broken the over this season.

If I were to make ONE bet I think I’d have to go with ward, but I’d wait until Sunday. Normally I’d question how effective Holmes would be, Hines tends to come up big in big games, and Hines had a great game against the ravens last time (107). If Rolle is sitting out though I’d wonder who they would sick Fabian Washington on, and bet the house on the other receiver.
