Ravens vs Steelers Best Bet ATS: Steelers +9.5 (-105)
It’s hardly a secret that the Baltimore Ravens were superior to the Pittsburgh Steelers down the stretch. Why has that not been reflected in the matchups they’ve faced off in? That’s the answer many people will be searching for as they break down this bitter rivalry. The Steelers have shockingly won eight of their last ten games against the Ravens. That has to mean something here, even after the Ravens doubled up the Steelers late in the year at home. Mike Tomlin has had John Harbaugh’s number. It’s been chronicled enough by now that you’re already aware of the postseason level of play dropping for Lamar Jackson. For a large part of these matchups, Tomlin and the Steelers’ defense have gotten the better of Jackson with how they game plan. Turnovers will ultimately be the deciding factor in whether or not the Steelers keep this close. The Steelers are 3-1 against the Ravens in their playoff history. Ravens win, Steelers cover.

Ravens vs Steelers Best Bet Total: UNDER 43.5 (-110)
This will be a tightly contested, lower-scoring affair if anything we’ve seen over the last five years tells us anything. You get a physical, well-coached football game when you have two teams with plenty of hate for one another, like the Steelers and Ravens. The Steelers offense has been on the struggle bus down the stretch, while the opposite is true for the Ravens. If Pittsburgh wants anything to do with keeping this game close, their defense has to show up. The health is there for Pittsburgh on defense to keep this a tight game. Pittsburgh likely deserves more respect on that side of the football after what they limited an uber-explosive offense in Cincinnati to last week. Also, Baltimore’s defense has clicked down the stretch and has been one of the top units in football. I expect a battle on both sides of the football and the number to fall just shy of the total.
