Don’t let those Playstation-type numbers cloud your judgment. The play for Big Ben’s Sunday night showdown is UNDER 264.5 gross passing yards, his posted total on the Westgate Las Vegas SuperBook’s prop board.
This is Roethlisberger’s second meeting against the Ravens this season, and while he should improve on his 217-yard, zero TD, one INT line from Week 2, hitting 265 gross passing yards may be too much to ask considering he’s only hit that number twice in 10 matchups since 2008.
Big Ben’s Week 8 onslaught earned him some respect from the Sporting News Fantasy Source crew. He’s ranked as the No. 11 QB on their Week 9 rankings, but that doesn’t change our UNDER play.
