Baltimore @ Pittsburgh
Current Records: Baltimore 8-3; Pittsburgh 5-5-1
What to KnowThe Pittsburgh Steelers won both of their matches against the Baltimore Ravens last season (28-24 and 19-14) and are aiming for the same result Sunday. The Steelers and Baltimore will face off in an AFC North battle at 4:25 p.m. ET at Heinz Field. The Ravens will be strutting in after a victory while Pittsburgh will be stumbling in from a defeat.
A win for Pittsburgh just wasn't in the stars last week as the team never even grasped a temporary lead. They suffered a grim 41-10 defeat to the Cincinnati Bengals. Pittsburgh was in a tough position by the half, with the score already sitting at 31-3. QB Ben Roethlisberger had a memorable game, but not in the way you want to be remembered: despite one touchdown, he threw two interceptions and fumbled the ball once.
Meanwhile, even if it wasn't a dominant performance, Baltimore beat the Cleveland Browns 16-10 last week. No one had a standout game offensively for the Ravens, but they got one touchdown from QB Lamar Jackson.
Most of the squad's points came courtesy of special teams, which contributed ten. K Justin Tucker delivered a perfect 3-for-3 game.
The Steelers are expected to lose this next one by 4.5. Their home turf has been no bettor's paradise, as they've failed to beat the spread in five of their six home games.
Pittsburgh is now 5-5-1 while the Ravens sit at 8-3. A pair of defensive stats to keep in the back of your head while watching: Pittsburgh is stumbling into the matchup with the fifth most rushing yards allowed per game in the league, having given up 133.1 on average. Baltimore has experienced some struggles of their own as they are worst in the NFL in passing yards allowed per game, with 292.2 on average. It's possible one of these Achilles' heels will wind up tripping the losing team up.
