"&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;Who has the edge in the matchup between the Baltimore Ravens and Pittsburgh Steelers? Don Banks makes his pick below.&lt;/em&gt;\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;\u2022 Last week: 10-6; Season: 10-6 (.625).&lt;/em&gt;\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;\u2022 Best pick in Week 1: Jets 20, Raiders 10 (actual score Jets 19-14).&lt;/em&gt;\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;\u2022 Worst pick in Week 1: Patriots 28, Dolphins 23 (actual score: Dolphins 33-20).&lt;/em&gt;\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;After the tumultuous off-field events of this week, the Ravens have to be ready for some football. But will they be ready, given how all-consuming and inescapable the Ray Rice story has been the past three days? And this isn\u2019t just the next game on the Ravens schedule, it\u2019s Pittsburgh week, with the arch-rival Steelers visiting M&amp;amp;T Bank Stadium in what is inarguably the biggest game of the season each and every year in Baltimore.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Clearly time for Goodell to go&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;strong&gt;|&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;strong&gt;Fiasco has become Goodell's Watergate &lt;/strong&gt;\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Add into that the element of early desperation, which would be the mood if the Ravens sputter to an 0-2 start, with both losses coming at home, in the division, and against the two opponents who figure to most directly block Baltimore\u2019s path to a playoff berth. The Steelers, on the other hand, can improve to 2-0 with a pair of AFC North wins in the span of five days, springboarding their hopes of returning to the postseason for the first time since 2011.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Which Pittsburgh team will show Thursday night, the one that dominated Cleveland 27-3 in the first half Sunday at Heinz Field, or the one that went almost comatose in the second half, squeaking out a 30-27 last-second win over the Browns? The Ravens had a bit of a Jekyll and Hyde performance themselves, looking dreadful in the opening two quarters against Cincinnati, only to roar back and take a late lead that they quickly surrendered to the Bengals, falling 23-16.&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Owner: I'm standing behind Goodell | Where's outrage for Mayweather?&lt;/strong&gt;\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;These two mirror-image clubs almost always play games in which they are separated by a field goal or less, but you could foresee a relative blowout taking place under these unique circumstances. Either Baltimore simply has little left in the tank after a short and draining week, or the the Ravens are galvanized by the controversy that has engulfed the organization and wind up playing far better and with a sense of urgency that was lacking in Week 1. I\u2019m leaning toward the latter scenario being the one that unfolds.\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;\r\n&lt;/p&gt;"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
