Dorin Dickerson is rooting for Penn State tonight in a battle against Notre Dame. In a battle of teams he hates, he went with the lesser of two evils. What is the rooting interest of Pitt fans tonight? The guys argued that this is the real test for James Franklin.

Steelers insider Ray Fittipaldo from the PG joined the show. Ray gave his latest feelings on Steelers-Ravens and doesn’t think the Ravens are too worried about not having Zay Flowers in that game. How much of an X-factor will Derrick Henry be? Ray said it’s hard to take this game lightly for Cam Heyward because we don’t know how many shots he has left to win big. Is there pressure on TJ Watt to do something big in this game? Where is George Pickens at mentally? Ray explained why it might be tough to move on from Russell Wilson in the middle of the game Saturday night to give way to Justin Fields. Ray does think we see at least a little bit of Fields. How much creativity will we see from the Arthur Smith offense? Ray only sees the Steelers winning if they hold a halftime lead, but he thinks it’s a blowout – Ravens 38, Steelers 17.

How important is this game for George Pickens? Could the paradigm on Pickens change completely if he goes off in a Steelers win? It could be that simple. But is it up to the team? The guys think Pickens requesting a trade isn’t out of the question. The guys also credited Najee Harris for how he handled things this season. Roman Wilson hasn’t been activated and the Steelers also released Scotty Miller.

Steve Palazzolo from the 33rd Team joined the show. Steve gave his take on the Ravens offense without the use of Zay Flowers, who is out Saturday night. Steve talked about the lack of depth the Steelers have at receiver. Steve admitted he has been a Najee Harris apologist, but Jaylen Warren should be getting more snaps in this game. Steve thinks there should be situations when we see Justin Fields on the field throughout the game. Can the Steelers win a rock fight? The guys asked Steve about the future of George Pickens and how much the rest of the league trusts him. Steve predicted a 27-20 Ravens victory.
