Pittsburgh Steelers vs Baltimore Ravens Prediction 

Baltimore rolls into this game with one of the best records in the NFL so far this season, but they were fortunate to get the win last week against Cincinnati. The Ravens have allowed 29 points or more in three of their last four games and will be on the road here. Pittsburgh has won four games in a row and they have scored at least 26 points in four straight games. The Steelers have a slightly better record than Baltimore and their defense has also been better. This should be another very entertaining AFC North battle, but I have to take the Steelers and their defense at home.
