NFL Nation reporters predict the outcomes and scores for Week 9 games Sunday and Monday:STEELERS AT RAVENSPittsburgh SteelersThe Ravens have won four of their past five at home against Pittsburgh, but the Steelers have two things going for them: They are getting back several key starters (possibly quarterback Ben Roethlisberger) after a bye week, and they are still upset about the two losses to a four-win Baltimore team last season. They desperately want to stop that trend. Baltimores 27th-ranked rushing offense might be the antidote for what ails the Steelers defense. Steelers 21, Ravens 16?-- Jeremy FowlerBaltimore RavensSince 2008, 12 of the past 16 meetings between these rivals have been decided by three points or fewer. Thats not a good trend for the Ravens this season. Quarterback Joe Flacco has had the ball in his hands in the final minute of the past four games and he has failed to deliver the winning drive each time. In the last four minutes of a game, Flacco is the NFLs 29th-rated passer this season (45.7). Steelers 18, Ravens 16?-- Jamison HensleyJohnny Bucyk Jersey . Perhaps Carroll was so prepared for a break because he believes there is very little the Seattle Seahawks need heading into the off-season. "I dont see anything that we need to add. We just have to get better," Carroll said. Joakim Nordstrom Jersey .

Switzerland will play for the first gold medal in that countrys history. Sweden wants to be the first host country to win a world title since 1986. Catch all the action live on TSN2 and TSN Mobile TV at 2pm et/11am pt. The Swiss extended their unbeaten run at this years mens world hockey championship to nine wins with a 3-0 victory over the United States in one semifinal Saturday night. The Swedes downed Finland 3-0 in the afternoon semifinal. "To get this far at the world tournament is pretty special for our country right now," said Swiss coach Sean Simpson, a Canadian from Brampton, Ont. "Its quite a thrill for our team, for our country, to be in the final in Stockholm against Sweden. Its quite a big deal." The Soviet Union was the last country to win a world mens hockey title on home ice 27 years ago in Moscow. "Its about time. Its about time," Swedish forward Henrik Sedin said. "No pressure, just fun. "Its an unbelievable feeling. Its something a lot players never get a chance to be part of so its something you dream about when you grow up." Switzerland opened the tournament with a 3-2 upset of the Swedes, followed by a 3-2 shootout win over Canada and a 5-2 victory over the Czech Republic. The wins over what were considered the favourites in the pool gave the Swiss momentum on their run to the top in Stockholm. Sweden finished third at 5-2 in the same pool behind Canada at (5-1-1-0). The Swedes eliminated Canada from medal contention with a 3-2 shootout quarter-final win. Julian Walker, New York Islanders prospect Nino Niederreiter and Reto Suri, with an empty-net goal, scored for the Swiss against the Americans. Goaltender Reto Berra, a Calgary Flames prospect, stopped 29 shots for the shutout. "I have no words for that," Berra said. "I think its the biggest win since a long, long time for Switzerland and also I think for a lot of players it was the most important game in their life today." Switzerland will earn their first medal in this tournament in 60 years. They won bronze in 1953. Loui Eriksson of the Dallas Stars scored a pair of power-play goals against Finland with twin brothers Henrik and Daniel Sedin of the Vancouver Canucks assisting on both of them. Henrik added an empty-net goal for a three-point game in front of an announcedd 11,674 at Globe Arena.dddddddddddd Jhonas Enroth of the Buffalo Sabres made 30 saves for his shutout. Simpson would not reveal whether he would go with Berra in net again Sunday or return to former NHL goalie Martin Gerber. Gerber was in net for a 2-1 quarter-final win over the Czechs. Enroth has made game-turning saves to get the Swedes to the championship game and is expected to return to Swedens net Sunday. Sweden, whose last world title was in 2006, is a more confident team than the one Switzerland beat on the first day of the tournament. The addition of the Sedins after the Canucks were swept in the first round of NHL playoffs boosted Swedens power-play. After scoring just two power-play goals in their first seven games of the tournament, Sweden has scored four in their last two games. Daniel assisted on all four and Henrik on three. "They know what to do," Swedish forward Gabriel Landeskog said. "Theyve played with each other for so long and they know exactly where to find each other and find Loui. "They have that respect as well. Everyone knows theyre world-class players. As soon as they get the puck, people will back off." Finland and the U.S., who finished first and third in the Helsinki pool, will play for bronze Sunday. When asked if winning a world title would erase the sting of an early NHL playoff exit, Henrik replied: "Its two different things. To lose in the playoffs, its obviously tough. To get a chance to do something good, its fun." Simpson has coached the Swiss mens team internationally for three years with finishes of fifth, ninth and 11th at the mens world championship during his tenure. He took over as head coach in 2010 for Ralph Krueger, another Canadian who had been behind Switzerlands bench for 13 years. Krueger is now the head coach of the NHLs Edmonton Oilers. Canucks defenceman Alex Edler joined Swedens lineup with the Sedins, but he did not play Saturday, nor will he Sunday. Edler received a two-game suspension for his knee-on-knee contact with Canadian captain Eric Staal in Thursdays quarter-final. Edler received a major and a game misconduct. Staal is also captain of the Carolina Hurricanes. The NHL team announced Saturday hed suffered a third degree ligament sprain, which would not require surgery. The team said rehabilitation should take three months and that Staal is expected to be ready for the start of the 2013-14 season. ' ' '
