It’s an old-school rivalry featuring two bitter foes as the surprising Steelers host Lamar Jackson and the Ravens. The winner of this one will move into sole possession of first place, so the stakes are high in Pittsburgh. Check the full odds now!
Baltimore Ravens
The Ravens are an offensive juggernaut, leading the league in yards (440.2 YPG), rushing (182.6 YPG), and points (31.8 PPG), and ranking No. 3 in passing (257.6 YPG). Lamar Jackson is once again the leading candidate for MVP. He’s thrown 14 touchdowns in the last four games without a single interception. Jackson has 24 touchdowns and just two interceptions on the season. However, he faces a Steelers front that found success against Jayden Daniels last week, sacking him three times and holding him to just 17 completions on 34 attempts. Still, the Ravens have many weapons, including Derrick Henry and Zay Flowers, who remain major threats to Pittsburgh.
Pittsburgh Steelers
Not many expected the Steelers to be contending for the division this late in the season, but here they are, coming off a tight 28-27 win in Washington. Russell Wilson has added a spark to the offense, averaging 30 points per game since taking over as the starter. George Pickens has become the go-to receiver, averaging 92 yards over the last three games and scoring a couple of touchdowns. That duo will look to take advantage of a passing defense that is dead last in the NFL, allowing 294.9 YPG.
