Baltimore Ravens vs Pittsburgh Steelers
Head to head
Preview
How it plays out
Baltimore Ravens vs Pittsburgh Steelers is a AFC North rivalry game, the kind where the records can go out the window. On paper this is about as lopsided as it gets: Baltimore Ravens at 86% to Pittsburgh Steelers's 14%, spread BAL -6. The power-ranking gap backs it up (#4 vs #17), and the contender tiers agree.
Tactically, Baltimore Ravens will want to lean on record-setting rushing to attack Pittsburgh Steelers, whose offensive line is the obvious pressure point. Going the other way, Pittsburgh Steelers's elite pass rush could punish Baltimore Ravens if secondary lapses goes unaddressed. Whoever wins that exchange likely wins the game.
Keep an eye on Lamar Jackson (QB) and DK Metcalf (WR): the two most likely to decide it with a single play. With Ravens at home, the model already bakes in roughly a field-goal's worth of home-field edge.
