Why Baltimore Ravens Will Win
Can the defense and running game pick up the slack with Lamar Jackson out?
The Ravens won ugly against Denver last week thanks to a D that didn’t allow much of anything and an offense that came though when it absolutely had to. Pittsburgh won’t crank up 40 points on the board.

Why Pittsburgh Steelers Will Win
It’s the same thing for the Ravens.
Without Jackson the margin for error is next to nothing. Coming up with takeaways hasn’t guaranteed anything for the Steelers. Baltimore isn’t above turning it over a few times – it gave it up twice or more five times this season – and probably won’t be able to get away with mistakes.
Defensively. Pittsburgh has bigger problems with the high-powered passing teams – that’s not Baltimore without Jackson. The defense has been terrific against the run and should be able to handle Baltimore’s midrange attack that relies on the tight ends.
What’s Going To Happen
Don’t expect a whole lot to happen. Both teams will have to take advantage of their opportunities, both defenses will shine, and neither one will run all that effectively.
The Baltimore defense, special teams, and toughness on third downs will be just enough.
