The Pittsburgh Steelers and the Baltimore Ravens meet Sunday in NFL action from M&T Bank Stadium. Here’s a Ravens vs Steelers prediction. We will look at this from a betting perspective and determine the best Ravens vs Steelers pick.

Pittsburgh Steelers Betting Preview

Pittsburgh went into their bye week at 3-1 this year, losing to the Seahawks with wins otherwise versus the Jets, Patriots and Vikings. The Steelers would win just three of the next seven games though, taking out the Browns, Colts and Bengals. The losses otherwise in that stretch were versus the Bengals, Packers, Chargers and Bears, giving the Steelers a 6-5 run across their first 11 games of the year.

Matched up against the Bills last weekend, the Steelers were up 7-3 by the end of the first half. Pittsburgh coughed up a 23-0 run in the second half however, leading to a 26-7 loss in the end. Aaron Rodgers finished with a 10-of-21 line for 117 yards, and Jaylen Warren had 10 carries for 35 yards and a score. Darnell Washington had two catches for 45 yards as the team’s leading receiver.

Over on the Ravens’ side, they were in trouble heading into their bye week with a 1-5 record. The lone win in that time was over the Browns; otherwise Baltimore lost to the Bills, Lions, Chiefs, Texans and Rams in succession. The Ravens woke up after that, taking out the Bears, Dolphins, Vikings, Browns and Jets in a nice winning run. Last Thursday’s game was a loss to the Bengals though, giving Baltimore a .500 record through 12 games this year.

In their Thanksgiving game versus the Bengals, the Ravens were down 12-7 by halftime. Baltimore ended up surrendering points in every quarter on the way to a 32-14 loss in the end. QB Lamar Jackson had a 17-of-32 line for 246 yards, no TDs and one pick while Derrick Henry led the rush on 10 carries for 60 yards and a score.

Ravens vs Steelers Prediction

I’ll probably lean Ravens here, but you could make a case either way. Games between these teams are normally always tight, no matter what the records are. Baltimore does need a good bounce-back effort here after losing to the Bengals on Thanksgiving. The Ravens held the ball for just 21:14 in that one, thanks in part to a pick and four lost fumbles. The 3-of-10 on third-down tries and 16 first downs needed a lot of work as well. Baltimore’s defense gave up 382 yards on the other side with 4.8 yards per play and 8-of-19 on third downs. During that recent five-game win streak, the Ravens had scored 23 or more points in every game. They’ll need to try and reach those scoreboard heights in this one.

As for Pittsburgh, they wilted on offense against the Bills—especially in the second half. The Steelers finished with just 166 yards, 3.9 yards per play, 10 first downs, 3-of-9 on third downs and two turnovers. The defense gave up 249 rush yards with 26 first downs and 8-of-15 on third-down tries on the other side but did have a couple of takeaways. Pittsburgh isn’t playing great these days; they’ve lost three of the last four games.
