My responses to the statements proposed in the 1/13/11 segment of "Agree to Disagree."
The winner of the Ravens-Steelers game will go on to win the Super Bowl. -- Disagree. The winner will be a “survivor” and most likely not have enough left in the tank to beat NE which is practically getting a walkover to the Championship. My apologies to Rex Ryan.
Neither of these teams wanted this match-up this early. -- Agree. I don’t think the Steelers and Ravens really “want” to play one another since they know it usually exacts a tremendous physical toll. See above.
The key matchup is Steelers’ DC Dick LeBeau and Ravens’ QB Joe Flacco. – Disagree. I agree with Mike Prisuta. The key match-up is Ben Roethlisberger v. the Ravens defense. Secondarily it is the Steelers OL v. the Ravens front seven.
The team with more rushing ATTEMPTS will win the game. – Agree. The team with more attempts will be controlling the clock which, in a low scoring game as this should be (the last four have been decided by 3 points or less), is a critical factor.
My critical statistic – Ben Roethlisberger has a record of 5-0 against the Ravens over the last three season. This HAS BEEN good but, due to the Weak Law of Large Numbers, will probably be BAD on Saturday.
HERE WE GO, STEELERS, HERE WE GO!
