Currently RB Ray Rice is averaging 2.8 years per carry this season, which is the same average as Bernard Pierce. The team needs to get itself together to have a real shot at The Super Bowl.
The Pittsburgh Steelers have an opportunity to capitalize on the Ravens this game. They are 1-4 currently and if they win they will be 2-4 going into week 8. This record can be managed but if they go into week 8 with a 1-5 record they have very little chance to make it to this seasons playoffs. The Steelers still do not have one player that has rushed one hundred yards this season, Ben Roethlisberger is the only player that is averaging twenty four yards per carry while the team average is 3.2 yards per carry. Although The Ravens are not having their best season, the odds makers feel that The Steelers will not be able to defeat them in today’s matchup.
