The Baltimore Ravens will host the Pittsburgh Steelers for an exciting matchup. This Ravens vs Steelers game is arguably the most crucial game we’ll witness this week, as both teams from AFC North, are fighting for the No.1 seed in their division, in a battle to prove who’s the best. This matchup also features two of the most premier quarterbacks in the NFL pitting Lamar Jackson against Aaron Rodgers for an AFC North clash.
The Ravens are coming off a loss to their divisional rival, the Cincinnati Bengals, in Week 13 on Thanksgiving day. They are 6-6 for the season and have struggled, which is unusual for a Lamar Jackson led squad. For the first time in many seasons, their playoff hopes are not clear even with Week 14 here already.
Meanwhile, the Steelers are coming off a blowout loss to the Bills last week. They are also 6-6 for the season, tied with the Ravens for 1st place, and this matchup will decide the best team at AFC North. The Aaron Rodgers experiment with this group has been mixed to say the least and this could be the first time the Steelers could have a losing season (below .500) in his NFL coaching career. A lot is on the line in this game, and fans can expect high intensity between two teams trying to prove who’s the best at AFC North.

Rationale and Analysis
Lamar Jackson under 27.5 passing attempts is a great bet as the Ravens have a run-heavy offense, using Derrick Henry’s rushing ability. This bet makes sense as Jackson has only crossed the 27.5 attempts threshold, 3 times this season. In 6 of his 9 games, he’s stayed below 27.5 attempts mark, making this a great bet.
Derrick Henry has had multiple games over 18.5 rush attempts this season. In the last seven games this season, he’s had 5 games over 18.5 attempts, and the Ravens rely on him to score touchdowns and make plays. The Steelers allow 106.4 rushing yards a game and rank 13th overall, which the Ravens could try to exploit using Derrick Henry.
The Steelers are the worst pass defense team in the NFL and they allow a whopping 261.7 yards per game. Looking at this, we expect the Ravens using Mark Andrews to exploit this hole. And Andrews who’s had three such games going over 33.5 receiving yards this season, may once again cross the threshold and go even further. It also helps that Andrews has a 71.2% catch rate this season, making this a great bet to make.
Ravens vs Steelers Prediction
Both the Ravens and the Steelers are one of the worst defensive teams in the NFL. With the lackluster season that D.K. Metcalf, Jaylen Warren, and even Aaron Rodgers has put up this season, we expect Baltimore to take away the win. The Ravens, who have struggled at times this season, are still a very gifted team offensively, and looking at Rodgers who will play despite injuries and is not a 100%, the Ravens should outduel the Steelers.

I cover the National Football League and things cannot get better than that. I always dreamed to play football or basketball professionally since I’m built like a Running Back. But now that I can’t, since I’m technically in the “Unc” age, I thought why not pick a career in sports industry? So here I am, doing what I love, and hoping that the Commanders win the Super Bowl. I give love to players when it’s due, but can be critical about their performances at the same time. Enough about me, now let my articles do all the talking.
