PIT 20-13

Steelers are top 10 in both offense and defense. If they don’t win on Sunday, they’ll have blown an excellent chance for a superbowl run. Is this team finally ready to put the Ravens in the grave? James Harrison will answer that question and will inspire this defense to it’s best all around performance of the season.

Oh Mama I’m in fear for my life from the long arm of the law,  Law man has put an end to my running and I’m so far from my home, Oh Mama I can hear you a-cryin’ you’re so scared and all alone, Hangman is coming down from the gallows and I don’t have very long, Ahhhhhh!!!

- You get NOTHING for Christmas, you purple bastards!!

Flip Fisher

PIT 21-20

Should be a fantastic game, Steelers pull out another nail biter.

Jeff Hartman

PIT 24-17

The Ravens have had the Steelers number, but they haven’t beaten Big Ben at Heinz Field in a while. At home, for all the AFC North marbles, the Steelers prove they are a contender.

Mike Frazer

PIT

Ben is healthy for a PIT/BAL matchup in Heinz Field? Yes, please. Key stat: the Ravens haven’t beaten a road team that currently has more than two wins this season.

Robert Hitchcock

PIT 31-20

Steelers come in fully focused, leave AFC North Champs. All while looking good in all-black.

Zach Parnes

PIT 17-10

Battle of two fantastic defenses continues…

Bryan Davis

PIT 23-22

Color Rush, Christmas, Crazy crowd. Home Ben, AB and Christmas Bells are scoring will mean a win against a fierce rival.
