Ravens vs. Steelers Odds
Game Preview
The Ravens lost some home games, yet they still have a chance to win the division and make the playoffs. And they have good chances for that. This team has won its last 5 road games.
The most recent was in Green Bay, 41-24, where their offense dismantled the Packers. To be precise, Derrick Henry dismantled them, with 216 rushing yards and 4 touchdowns. All this without Lamar.
The Steelers looked awful against the Browns, losing 13-6 and failing to clinch a playoff berth. DK Metcalf’s suspension hurt them a lot, and the whole offense collapsed as a result.
Aaron Rodgers had 168 passing yards, without anything noticeable. No touchdowns, no picks, nothing. He wasn’t able to get things going at all, often enduring three-and-out.
Ravens vs. Steelers Head to Head
After 64 games, the Steelers lead the series 37-27.
The Steelers won five of the last 7 games, though losing the AFC Wild Card game last year, 28-14. They won 27-22 in Baltimore this season.
Ravens vs. Steelers Predictions
The Steelers’ offense is very bad, and it won’t be able to keep the pace with the Ravens. Even though Baltimore’s defense is softer than the browns, the offense will play the crucial role here and win the game.
