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.
