I usually love these situations; the line crashes in on the news that a team's #1 QB is out and the team in question is cracking value. Sure enough, this line has moved 7+ points with Roethlisberger on the sidelines, but the fly in the ointment is Leftwich: he stinks.

Hopefully, the Steelers will resist the temptation to go after the ropey Ravens' secondary and pound the rock with the returning Mendenhall and then lean on their defense to stifle a Baltimore team that has been poor on the road.

I'll still play the situation, but if you must get involved, keep stakes small.

Pick: Pittsburgh Steelers +3 @ 1.95

Pick: 1st TD Torrey Smith @ 10
Pick: Anytime TD Heath Miller @ 2.7
