All kidding aside, the Pats will probably beat them and go 16-0...but they sure as hell ain't losing to a Steelers team that they will carve up with their passing game - and who's offense they will frustrate at home.
Baltimore is a trap game for the Pats - and they are one magical last stand by the aging Ravens defense - combined with a big special teams play or two and a halfway decent game from Wills running the ball away from a shocking upset.
I think too many people are getting caught up in the fact that Pittsburgh - who was one phantom holding peanilty away from losing to the Browns at home last week - is playing much better football than Baltimore has been playing.

Drugs, you have lost your damn mind defending Baltimore, their offense is horrific, dare I say the BEARS have a better one. That D aint too hot either. But I see your hypothetical stance and won't argue it.
The +24 is interesting because that is what I think it will end, either 27-3 or 34-10 NE wins. I don't disagree about the 'trap game' theory, but given that theory, the Redskins should have been a trap game also, and that was just plain sick.
