Pittsburgh Steelers at Baltimore Ravens Preview & Picks

Pittsburgh are tipped to cover in another low-scoring war between these two rivals.

Points always tend to be at a premium when these two teams meet, and as a result the Steelers’ superior defense makes them an appealing pick with the free points. 

  • Pittsburgh Steelers are 10-4-0 ATS this season
  • Baltimore Ravens are 2-3-0 ATS in division games
  • Pittsburgh Steelers are 7-3-0 ATS in the last 10 meetings
  • The Under has cashed in each of the previous 8 meetings

Head To Head

  • Pittsburgh Steelers lead the all-time series 36-25
  • Pittsburgh Steelers won 18-16 when the two teams last met on November 17

Pittsburgh Steelers Form

Pittsburgh head to Baltimore on the back of a loss but in solid form, having won seven of their previous nine games.

The Steelers opened with three consecutive wins, only to then drop a couple of close games to sit at 3-2 in early October.

They responded to those losses in fine style though, emarking on a five-game win streak that included an important 18-16 win over division rivals Baltimore.

Pittsburgh’s run was halted by a 24-19 defeat in Cleveland, but they responded with back-to-back division wins, downing Cincinnati 44-38 on the road and Cleveland 27-14 at home.

The Steelers failed to make it three wins in a row however, as they then fell to a 27-13 defeat in Philadelphia.

Baltimore Ravens Form

Baltimore return home on the back of a win, but in inconsistent form having gone 2-2 in their previous 4 games.

The Ravens limped out of the blocks with back-to-back defeats, but caught fire in late September and went on to reel off five consecutive wins.

That run was ended by a 29-24 defeat in Cleveland, but they rebounded with a couple of home wins, beating Denver 41-10 and Cincinnati 35-34,

Baltimore then lost 18-16 to Pittsburgh, only to bounce back immediately with a 30-23 victory at the Los Angeles Chargers.

The Ravens failed to follow that up as they then lost 24-19 to Philadelphia, although they again responded quickly to a loss, this time beating the New York Giants 35-14 on the road.

Verdict

Old school football is the order of the day when these two teams go head to head.

For the past several years they have engaged in low-scoring wars of attrition, and more of the same is expected in this latest meeting.
