How it plays out

Pittsburgh Steelers vs Baltimore Ravens 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 75% to Pittsburgh Steelers's 25%, spread BAL -3.5. The power-ranking gap backs it up (#17 vs #4), and the contender tiers agree.

Tactically, Pittsburgh Steelers will want to lean on never-losing culture to attack Baltimore Ravens, whose playoff scars is the obvious pressure point. Going the other way, Baltimore Ravens's star linebacker could punish Pittsburgh Steelers if offensive line goes unaddressed. Whoever wins that exchange likely wins the game.

Keep an eye on DK Metcalf (WR) and Lamar Jackson (QB): the two most likely to decide it with a single play. With Steelers at home, the model already bakes in roughly a field-goal's worth of home-field edge.
