Mike Fuentes, how say you?

I do want to say, I want to put this asterisk down and not sound like I'm fully glass half full quite yet.

the Steelers have to win this one to impress Dave.

So extra pressure on you, Coach T and Aaron Rodgers and everybody else.

If the Steelers can go up there in a game, like I say, that the Lions are going to be desperate to get, if the Steelers somehow win that game, now I'm a believer that they can do some stuff in January.

But as it stands, we saw what happened last December.

I know that they survived the Ravens.

Some fluke to that one.

The Tua game, I think you throw out, you knew that they were going to flop when it was 10 degrees.

Tua wasn't going to make it there.

That brings me to number one, the Patriots and the Ravens.

The AFC North remains in play.

The Ravens are laying three.

48.5 is your total.

I say that the Patriots, even after the gut punch a week ago, go up there and win 29-27.

Why?

My primary reason?

I just don't think the Ravens are all that good.

I don't think they have a pass rush.

They don't have a great secondary.
