Oddsmakers have yet to set a line for the critical upcoming Steelers vs. Ravens game in Week 13 as it looks more likely that Ben Roethlisberger will start for Pittsburgh.

"I'm going to try," Roethlisberger told the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette on Sunday. "It's killing me to watch.

Roethlisberger suffered a rare rib and shoulder injury two weeks ago. His team is one game above .500 in a division where Cincinnati has now tied that record while Baltimore leads with a 9-2 record.

The Ravens may only get better with the imminent return of star linebacker Ray Lewis some time in December following what was thought to be a season-ending injury. Lewis tore his triceps in a game against Dallas last month.

"For the greatest player in Ravens history to be able to return from this injury and come on this championship run with us? When he was said to be down and out? Man, that's critical mass. When he comes through that tunnel, that's gonna be the earthquake and the tsunami," Ravens linebacker Brendon Ayanbadejo told Yahoo! Sports.
