Prediction and Conclusion
The Pittsburgh Steelers have their best season in recent history, but how good they really are will be seen in the next four weeks as they will face their division rivals in the following four games. The Baltimore Ravens are coming to Pittsburgh this week to fight for the top spot in the division and their only second win in their last 8 games against the Steelers. The Steelers are one of the few teams Lamar Jackson has a losing record against, and he will definitely play his best football today. The Ravens lead the NFL in both scoring offense with 31.8 points per game and total offense with 440.2 yards per game. It will be interesting to see how Russell Wilson will play against the Ravens’ defense. The veteran started for the Steelers in the last three games, but this will be the biggest challenge so far in the season. It will be a high-intense game, and we go with the Ravens to win.
