Baltimore Ravens
Baltimore Ravens Monday night the Baltimore Ravens travel to Heinz Field in Pittsburgh, PA to take on the Steelers in what should be a great physical match-up. Odds makers call the Steelers a 6 point favorite at home against the Ravens.

The AFC north lead will be on the line tonight as Ravens rookie quarterback Joe Flacco makes his first career start at Heinz Field. Flacco has yet to throw a touchdown pass and tossed two interceptions against the Cleveland Browns.

"You shouldn't have to play perfect to win,"said Ravens coach Jim Harbaugh. "I'm going over to console Joe, and Joe's consoling me. That's the kind of guy Joe is."

This week the
Ravens signal caller will be facing a Pittsburgh defense that is allowing less than 13 point per game and is averaging 2 picks per outing.

The Steelers will have a rookie of their own starting on offense as running back Rashard Mendenhall will make his first career start at tailback. A sprained left knee will keep Willie Parker out of the line-up against the Ravens.

"I had a lot of experience in the pre-season," said Mendenhall. "I am just looking forward to going in there."

The pre-season is one thing, but Monday Night Football against Ray Lewis and the Baltimore Ravens defense is something totally different. The Steelers win by a field goal, take the Ravens getting 6 points.
