Pittsburgh Steelers at Baltimore Ravens Preview & Picks

Baltimore are backed to cover as they down their division rivals in the playoffs.

The Ravens’ offense is in sensational form and the defense continues to get better with every game.

They dominated the Steelers as they won in December, and we expect repeat scenes here.

  • Baltimore Ravens are 4-0-0 ATS in their last 4 games
  • Baltimore beat Pittsburgh by 17 points back on December 21
  • Pittsburgh Steelers are 1-3-0 ATS in their last 4 games
  • The Under has cashed in 8 of the previous 9 meetings

Head To Head

  • Pittsburgh Steelers lead the all-time series 36-26
  • Baltimore Ravens won 34-17 when the two teams last met on December 21

Pittsburgh Steelers Form

Pittsburgh go into this playoff game in stone cold form, having now lost each of their last four games.

The Steelers went 3-2 over the first five weeks, but found some consistency in October as they embarked on a five-game win streak that included an 18-16 upset of Baltimore.

That run was ended a week later by a 24-19 defeat in Cleveland, but they rebounded with a 44-38 victory in Cincinnati and then followed that up with a 27-14 win over Cleveland.

Pittsburgh have not won since though, with the 27-13 loss in Philadelphia and 34-17 defeat in Baltimore proving to be the start of a four-game skid.

The Steelers then suffered back-to-back home defeats, losing 29-10 to Kansas City and 19-17 to Cincinnati to end the regular season 10-7.

Baltimore Ravens Form

Baltimore enter the postseason on a four-game win streak that saw them finish the regular season with a 12-5 record. 

The Ravens opened the season with back-to-back defeats, but rallied with a five-game win streak that included multiple wins over playoff teams.

That run was ended by a 29-24 in Cleveland, but they rallied to win three of their four games in November.

Baltimore then began December with a 24-19 loss to Philadelphia, but they have not lost since, sparking this winning run with a 35-14 win at the New York Giants.

The Ravens then sandwiched a 31-2 win in Houston on Christmas Day with home victories against Pittsburgh, 34-17, and Cleveland, 35-10.

Verdict

Lamar Jackson is playing MVP caliber football and this Baltimore defense continues to improve.

That makes the Ravens the pick for this playoff clash between two AFC North rivals.
