Each week Covers.com's Jason Logan will be bucking the trends and going against the public perception with the Worst Bet In The World

These aren't just joke plays either. He'll actually put his money where his mouth is and wager his hard-earned cash at Betjamaica.com.
Check in each week to see how fast he goes into debt. Baltimore Ravens at Pittsburgh Steelers (-6, 34)Worst bet in the world: Over 34 points
Why it's the worst bet in the world: This game will be as action packed as a staring contest. Pittsburgh and Baltimore are one-two when comes to defense and allow around two touchdowns per game. Plus, these teams just don't like each other. And I'll always put pure hate ahead of any stat.
The Ravens didn't make a liar out of me when they stymied the Tennessee Titans last weekend, budging for just 10 points. Thanks to last week's
Worst Bet In The World, I've already eaten Mac 'n' Cheese twice in the past three days. What's on the menu tonight? Lemme guess...
Pittsburgh's divisional game with San Diego did go over the 37.5-point total but that contest also featured a butt-load of passing yards and three touchdowns from Philip Rivers. And Baltimore quarterback Joe Flacco is no Philip Rivers.
The Steelers are back to their running roots. Willie Parker must have received bionic legs for Christmas after rushing for 262 yards and three touchdowns in the past two games. Either that or his New Year's resolution was “not to suck so much”.
The Ravens offense is God awful. But when they do decided to move the chains, it usually comes from the rushing duo of Willis McGahee and Le'Ron McClain. Kicker Matt Stover is emerging as the team's offensive juggernaut and he can only hurt opponents three points at a time.
Why I'm playing the over: I like Mac 'n' Cheese.
Current record: 0-1
