1. The Steelers are healthy and more rested. The Ravens will be missing Samari Rolle. The Ravens had 10 players on the injured list on January 10th. All were questionable with one player, Barnes, listed as out. They are not healthier after playing the Titans.
2. The Steeler recievers are better than the Ravens secondary. Ed Reed is amazing, but the Baltimore corners are suspect in coverage. It is always about how well the Steelers pass against Baltimore.
3. Flacco is a rookie and has not played well in the playoffs. He's avoided the turnovers so far, but he's only completed 44% of his passes. I think the Steelers defense can force Flacco into one or two turnovers. In a championship game, I'll go with the QB that has been there and done won it (and lost it too...).
Prognostication:
Steelers over Ravens: 24-13
Cardinals over Eagles: 30-24
