Pittsburgh Steelers vs. Baltimore Ravens: Prediction, odds, picks

Having taken six in a row, the Baltimore Ravens (13-3) will play the Pittsburgh Steelers (9-7). Despite that, the Steelers are the favorites, expected to win by at least a field goal but less than a touchdown (currently -3.5). The over/under for this one is set at 37.5 points.

The Ravens completely dismantled the Miami Dolphins 56-19 last weekend, while the Steelers took down the Seattle Seahawks 30-23 in their Week 17 contest. 

Baltimore is solidified as the top seed in the AFC and Pittsburgh needs a win here to make the postseason. 

Will the Ravens rest their starters since they have everything wrapped up, or will they go all out to spoil their rivals’ season?

Here’s everything you need to know about the matchup between the Steelers and Ravens — the point spread, moneyline, total Over/Under and an expert pick from our betting analyst Will Hill.

Steelers vs. Ravens Prediction & Pick

Pick ATS: Baltimore (+3.5) Pick OU: Over (37.5) Prediction: Baltimore 30 – Pittsburgh 12

Pick via FOX Sports Betting Analyst Will Hill

There are lots of moving parts here, but the Ravens were in this same position in 2019. 

They clinched a postseason bye, and were playing the Steelers in the final week of the regular season. They rested their starters, and ended up losing their first playoff game a few weeks later. 

Does Harbaugh really want a 3-week layoff for all of his key players? 

I think the Ravens will play their guys a bit, and getting 4 at home is too good to pass up despite the lack of motivation.

PICK: Ravens (+4) to lose by fewer than 4 points (or win outright)
 

Is it Super-Bowl-or-bust for Lamar Jackson and the Ravens?
