Especially in this division where teams are fairly equally matched, a game between the Ravens and Steelers, direct rivals in the AFC North, may catapult one team or sink the other. Let’s ignore the fact that Pittsburgh is at the bottom of the standings and Baltimore is at the top, as the game is very evenly balanced. In this article, we’ll explain why.
At JefeBet we are prepared to provide you with the best sports betting information and NFL predictions, so here is our prediction for this Baltimore Ravens vs Pittsburgh Steelers game.

Betting on the Baltimore Ravens
Without Lamar Jackson, who is injured, Tyler Huntley didn’t falter and cruised to a 10-9 win over the Denver Broncos. That result put them at 8-5 and leading the AFC North. What’s more, out of their last 5 games played, they have only lost one and that was to the Jaguars by 28-27—by the smallest margin.
In a close game against Denver, Tyler Huntley came back, threw for 187 yards and ran for 41 yards. He controlled the offense and had a strong connection with Mark Andrews, who ran for 53 yards in a close race.
It’s crucial to defeat the Steelers because it will give the Bengals more energy when they play the intra-division Cleveland Browns. In this closely contested division, a Cincinnati Bengals loss plus a Ravens win would put them one game ahead, but that doesn’t guarantee they can pull away from the Bengals.
Betting on the Pittsburgh Steelers
Despite what the numbers indicate, as we stated at the beginning of this article, there is little difference between the two teams. The Steelers have won two straight games and have just two losses in their last five games.
On team controls, Kenny Pickett has excelled. In the 24-17 victory over Indianapolis, he threw for 164 yards, and even though all of the TDs were rushing ones, he helped the team advance significantly. He passed for 197 yards and a score in the 19-16 victory over Atlanta. They have a 2-3 record at home. Despite being less than ideal, they head into this game with the necessary energy to help them win three games in a row.
JefeBet Prediction
Despite the difficulty of the game, Baltimore is now getting the upper hand. The visiting Steelers, who will be performing at a much lower level than their divisional rivals, are expected to be overpowered by the Ravens.
In comparison to Pittsburgh, Baltimore has a much stronger roster, and if Lamar Jackson were to take over as the starter, things would get even worse for the home team, which would almost certainly end its winning streak unless there was a major shock at this point in the season. To their luck, Baltimore’s starting QB is almost certain to miss the game.
Predictions: Under (BAL 19 -17 PIT)
