It's rarely a good idea to back the road favorite in a division rivalry game, but I like the Steelers offense to have a big week against the Ravens. Look for Big Ben, Antonio Brown and Le'Veon Bell to have big games and put up enough points to cover the three point spread.
I'm projecting 35 points for Steelers-Ravens, giving us a solid lean to the Under. The Under is cashing in 71 percent of my simulations. Baltimore's offense is terrible, and Pittsburgh's offense has yet to really click. Go Under.
The Ravens have had a shorter week than most after losing in London, and they have to be coming back so embarrassed. But let's not let Pittsburgh off the hook with their bad overtime loss at Chicago. The Steelers just don't have their offense hitting on all cylinders yet and have stayed Under in all three and covered just once. Baltimore has covered the past five meetings. Ravens +3 is the top play.
Pittsburgh's offense is going to get it going at some point, but this isn't going to be the week. Despite getting pasted by the Jaguars in London, the Ravens have a quality defense and an obvious familiarity with this opponent. The Steelers have been excellent on D this season, allowing 44 points in regulation across three games, and the Ravens and their gutted O-line should be an easy test. These two teams have been Under 44.5 in each of their last nine matchups in Baltimore, and those teams were by and large healthier and playing better on offense.
