The Ravens can clinch the AFC North with a win and a loss by the Cincinatti Bengals and nothing would be more satisfying then to stop the bleeding by beating them and bring them back a little closer to the pack in the process. Below are 7 things to watch for specifically in this game along with my prediction at the end of it.

I find it almost humorous how quickly articles can change in my mind through the course of a Pittsburgh Steelers’ football game. There were so many things to be critical of as the game wore on yesterday as the Steelers seemed headed for a third straight loss. Despite the fact they won yesterday, I can’t sit here today and wax poetically about everything I saw. In my mind, Mike...

Charlie Batch had Mike Wallace wide open in the back of the end zone on a third down on the final drive of the first half. Rather than throw it anywhere in the vicinity of his receiver, who had already dropped one open pass earlier in the drive so probably still wasn’t guaranteed to catch it, Batch put it inside the cone of the parabolic microphone operator.
