The Steelers-Ravens game is widely off the board because of questions about QB Ben Roethlisberger's playing status, but one Las Vegas casino chain has set a line — and the early money appears to be coming in on Baltimore.

According to VegasInsider.com's line movement of the Steelers-Ravens game, the Station Casinos in Nevada initially installed Baltimore as a 1½-point favorite vs. Pittsburgh, but the line has already moved to Ravens minus-2½ .

If Roethlisberger plays, I can't see the Ravens being more than a three-point favorite, and the line might well settle lower than that. If he's out, the line will depend upon whether Steelers start Dennis Dixon or turn to a yet-to-be-signed veteran (Jeff Garcia?). I would guess the difference between a well-known quarterback like Garcia and the untested Dixon would be several points on the line, perhaps a field goal.
