AFC Championship Game: Ravens at Steelers(-4.5)

[LitlBuck]

My initial feeling is watch out. The familiarity amongst the coaching staffs and Arizona's ability to handle the blitz concern me(as a Steeler fan).

OTOH, it could just be time for the clock to strike midnight on Cinderella. Theye were 8-8 for a reason and it's tough betting against a team with a dominant defense.

If I had to pick right now I'd say the Steelers win but fail to cover.

That's the sickie part of this game is that they will be talking about the familiarities of the staffs for the next two weeks.

However, I do think that the initial line is a little high especially since I have not heard anything about how bad Hines knee is. The Cardinal's OL played awfully well against the Eagles but the Steelers are just brutal all over the field. If they get one shot at Warner, it could be his last.

It will be interesting to see if the line drops as the game nears.

SuperBowl lines are notoriously soft due to the heavy "square" action they get.

This is the one game in all of sport that you should not try to get any type of read on from the line or its movement. People just bet the fuck out of the SB to be betting the SB.

I'd bet the moneyline on the Steelers as of right now but thats about it. I wouldn't lose sleep over that -7 if I decided to throw a bet down on the Steelers though.
