Ravens at Steelers: Game notes
- The Ravens had several players and staff members test positive for COVID-19 early in the week, so this AFC North showdown was rescheduled to give Baltimore some time to recover. They were especially hard hit along the offensive line and in the backfield.
- These teams met at M&T Bank Stadium in Baltimore in Week 8, with the Steelers coming away with a 28-24 win as 4-point underdogs as the Over (44) connected.
- The Steelers enter play with 24 or more points in all 10 games so far this season, and they’re No. 4 in scoring offense with 29.8 points per game while ranking No. 1 in scoring defense at 17.4 PPG allowed.
- Baltimore enters play on a 1-4 ATS skid across the past five games, and it’s the defense that has been the main problem. The Ravens are allowing 23.8 PPG across their past five games, which is more than four points higher than their season average of 19.5 PPG allowed, which is third in the NFL.

Ravens at Steelers: Odds, betting lines, predictions and picks
Prediction
Steelers 26, Ravens 16
Money line (?)
The STEELERS (-200) are a little more expensive than I care to spend on a money line play, but in a series which has been super tight, with plenty of good defense, I am more inclined to play the Steelers straight up.
Even with the Ravens short two backs, and struggling overall, Baltimore is dangerous anytime QB Lamar Jackson is on the field.
Against the spread (?)
The STEELERS -4 (-110) are on a 7-1 ATS run, and they are 4-0 ATS in their previous four games at home. The Ravens have struggled against the good teams lately, going just 1-4 ATS in their past five against teams with a winning record. They’re also a dismal 1-8 ATS following their past nine losses.
That makes Pittsburgh quite attractive, especially with Baltimore potentially shorthanded in certain areas.
Over/Under (?)
UNDER 44.5 (-110) is worth a small-unit bet here. The Ravens won’t necessarily pass it more. No. 8 can run pretty well, too, in case you haven’t heard. Running the ball means running the clock. The Under is also 7-3-1 in Pittsburgh’s last 11 divisional games.
