Steelers vs Ravens Prediction
The current betting odds have the Ravens listed as a 6 point favorite in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. The Ravens haven't looked great in their games this season with their 6-6 record overall, but that record has them right at the top of the AFC North. They haven't looked great on their home field though with their 3-4 home record this season. Meanwhile, the Steelers haven't looked great in their games this season with their 6-6 record overall, but that record has them right near the top of the AFC North and in the division race. They haven't been a great road team though with their 2-3 road record this year. The Steelers had a great start to the season and even had a huge lead in the division, but they have looked terrible lately and have let that lead slip away from them. They are banged up now with Rodgers playing through a broken wrist and they are off a 26-7 loss at home to the Bills in their last one, a game which they didn't even look competitive in. The Ravens have been the opposite this year as they had a terrible start to the season and put themselves in a big hole, but they have looked a lot better lately and have dug themselves out of that hole. They are off a 32-14 loss at home to the Bengals in their last one and that was a bad loss for them to take, but they will be looking to bounce back at home and still have the momentum on their side with the deficit they erased in the division. The Ravens have the more reliable QB right now with Lamar Jackson and their defense has looked a lot better than the Steelers defense has looked lately. The best way to place a bet here is on the Ravens to cover the spread in this game.
