Baltimore Ravens vs. Pittsburgh Steelers Analysis
Baltimore started with back-to-back wins, but then a Week 3 loss to the Colts had fans scratching their head. The win at Cleveland was very assuring for the Ravens and their fans.
The defense was fantastic in the game, holding Cleveland to just a field goal. On the season, Baltimore is allowing just 14.5 points per game. That ranks third in all of the National Football League.
Rookie Zay Flowers leads the receiving core for Baltimore. His NFL Player Stats shows that he has 24 receptions and 244 yards, but has yet to score a touchdown. The Ravens are fourth in the league in rushing with 151.3 yards per game, but much of that is the signal caller Lamar Jackson.
Jackson rushed for two touchdowns in the win over the Browns. He now has four on the season. Mark Andrews caught the other two for Baltimore.
A Divisional Duel Looms
Mike Tomlin and his Pittsburgh Steelers would love to get back on track, and do so against their divisional rival. Kenny Pickett has been up and down to start the season as the quarterback.
The former Pitt Panthers quarterback has four touchdowns and four interceptions on the season. He has tossed for 803 yards, with more than 30% of them to George Pickens.
The Steelers also need to get the run game going. Pittsburgh, with their NFL Team Stats, ranks 29th in the league with 78.8 yards per game on the ground. Najee Harris has yet to score a rushing touchdown in 2023.
The Steelers will look to get back on track here before they take their bye in Week 6. After the bye, Pittsburgh is at the Los Angeles Rams. It continues to be difficult to make Pittsburgh Steelers picks with how inconsistent they are.
Ravens vs. Steelers Betting Picks
The Pittsburgh Steelers know this is a game they need to win to stay in the picture for the divisional title. They would fall two games back of the Ravens with a loss here. The Steelers know the Ravens. Sure, the Ravens know the Steelers well, also.
But, look for a very close game here. Likely low-scoring, with any turnover in the game being a big one, and possibly a backbreaker.
- When we give our betting picks, we are giving the Pittsburgh Steelers +5 and the under 38.5 points.
Baltimore Ravens vs. Pittsburgh Steelers Prediction
Making our final score prediction for this game is fairly difficult. Will the Steelers be able to move the ball? Will Lamar Jackson keep the ball or hand it off to his running backs, who have been fairly ineffective? What will the matchups look like when we get to Sunday?
- Regardless, this is going to be a great football game. In the end, the final score prediction for this game is the Pittsburgh Steelers win the game 19-17 over the Ravens.
So taking the Steelers and the points works, and do not be afraid to add the under and also obviously grab the moneyline if you think Pittsburgh wins this game at home.
Those are our official Ravens vs Steelers betting picks!
