Verdict: The form guide and the oddsmakers suggest the Panthers will win a low-scoring encounter, but with a total as low as 37.5 it only takes one defensive touchdown (a real possibility here) to spoil your evening, so SportsJOE’s cash will be staying in its pocket for this one.
The Ravens have been unconvincing over the season’s closing weeks, but results went their way on the final week of the season and they snuck into the play-offs. The return of Haloti Ngata to the defensive line and the absence of Bell should limit Pittsburgh’s ability to run the ball, but Baltimore will need edge rushers Terrell Suggs and Elvis Dumervil to get to Big Ben in order to cover up the deficiencies behind them. On offence, look for 2013 Super Bowl MVP Joe Flacco to test the Steelers through the air, looking for his duo of Smiths, cagey veteran Steve and speedster Torrey.
Verdict: The Ravens are looking for a first ever postseason win at Heinz Field at the fourth attempt but this Steelers offence should be too potent for them. The news that Bell is out has moved the line from -3.5 to just -3 in favour of Pittsburgh, and we’re confident enough in Roethlisberger to take that number.
