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.
