Monday Night

Throw out everything you think you know about PIT and BAL. This is not a defensive battle anymore, at least not like it used to be. Forget about trends because PIT is a totally different team without Bill Cowher. BAL is 4-3 with wins versus NYJ, AZ, SF & STL, that is not very impressive. The defense isn't what it used to be and with both corners likely to miss the game, look out. PIT has opened it up on offense, giving more freedom to Big Ben, and he has grown into the role. Fast Willie has been extremely effective as a result. This offense has weapons everywhere. So, plan on catching the early train in to work tomorrow, because you will be able to go to bed early tonight... PIT(-9)34 BAL 13 [5$]... over 36 [3$].
