AFC Championship Pick

Saturday, January 17th, 2009

The line for the game is Pittsburgh by 6 with an over and under of 33.5.  I have been betting Pittsburgh and Baltimore all year long. Both teams are great at covering spreads. FJA loves both teams and needs to decide on one.

Questions to answer:

1. Will Joe Flacco get away with mistakes he made against Tennessee? (If so, they should call him Shane Falco)
2. Can Baltimore run the ball effectively against the Steeler D?
3. Can the Steelers score more than 21 points?

Big Ben will outplay Flacco due to experience. I don’t think Pitt will give up many yards on the ground and will force Flacco to beat them. Pittsburgh should be able to move the ball against Baltimore unlike the regular season.

Prediction:  Pittsburgh will avenge its lost to Baltimore and head to the Super Bowl. I also believe they will be able to cover the 6.  The Pitt D will turn Joe Flacco into Shane Falco… Give them a few INTs and may even return one for a TD. With over and under at 33.5, I think these two teams can combine for 5 TDs. Final score will be Pitt 24 and Baltimore 14. They will bearly cover.

Pick:  Pitt giving 6 and Over.
