**NFL Saturday Doubleheader - Steelers 10-4 at Ravens 9-5**(-6.5, 44.5) 4:30 (1 Viewer)

I think the Steelers are in a very rough place right now. They don't have playmakers on offense, and they can't cover anyone on defense. They are a good team, but matchup terribly with the Ravens, especially if they fall behind early. I think this ends up being a game where most people probably switch to college football, and the game that reminds everyone that the Ravens are the best team in the AFC and just have some really fluky losses.

I think the Steelers have trouble doing anything on offense, I wouldn't be excited to start a single player, though I understand desperation Harris/Freiermuth starts.

I think everyone gets home for the Ravens. Lamar feels like another 30 point week. Henry should break some big runs, Flowers and Andrews should both be open all day, even someone like Tylan Wallace (Agholor is out, and Bateman is banged up. Ironically this would have been a Diontae Johnson game if he'd been on board) is probably a decent DFS punt.

Ravens-38
Steelers-3

Close to repeat of the Giants game last week, but I think they'll be more inclined to keep their foot on the gas here, and the Giants don't have a Malik Nabers to just dominate in garbage time.
 
I think The Ravens come into this one in a better place
But Tomlin has prepped well for LaMar in the past
Just think The Ravens are winning today
So...

Baltimore- 27
Pittsburgh- 16

We have not seen the Steelers have a game close to this all season but I will say they lost pretty handily last week so perhaps more is in store today
I think Russ and the Steelers will try and put up a decent fight
If Russ and the Steelers get beat 38-3, we're talking Justin Fields coming off the bench the rest f the season, yes/no?
I'm troubled they don't incorporate Fields more into the offense especially inside the red zone where he can hurt teams a lot more with his legs

I think if Fields were healthy, there'd be some talk. But he got banged up on his run last week. I too think they should be using Fields more often, but he's hurt now so maybe that wasn't in the cards.

I think the Steelers are a good team, I just think the Ravens are the best team, especially when they are on. Their ceiling is higher than anyone else's in my opinion. Unless Watt/Heyward just completely dominate, I don't see the defense stopping much, and the Ravens D is playing much better of late.
 
The Steelers have owned the Ravens the last few years, though each game has been a one-score affair.

These games are always freaky.

I think Baltimore takes this one 25-18.
 
Lamar needs to not put so much pressure on himself that he stops playing his normal game, plays tight and makes uncustomary mistakes (i.e., choking, but we don’t dare say that word in Baltimore)

This has been a Top 4 defense since Week 11, they are super fresh after their bye whereas the Steelers are tired and beat up. I’m a believer in this team, D just needs to start forcing some turnovers.

I say Lamar gets back in the MVP Race with 30-16 win

But we’ll know early whether he’s usual Lamar, or super-frenetic bad decision turnover Lamar
 
Score will be closer than it should be, but ravens have to win by 14 at least.
21-7, with Tucker missing a FG.

I wouldn’t have believed Pickens makes this big a difference, but he does.

What's up, my friend? Good to see you here.

Same as ever. Starting to get on board with this team but need to see Lamar play well today

Good to see you, how have you been?
 
last I checked the Ravens were 6.5 favorites. They are at home, are healthier and must win this game to have a chance to win the division.

They better win the game or the Ravens are in trouble

To have a chance? They ARE winning it.

I would consider Pitt the underdog to win the division at this point.

Talked about it in the Ravens thread, they're sitting pretty after that bye and the upcoming schedule. About to get 3 wins in 11 days and their SB odds are going to drop in half.

I'm in at 12-1. It's now 9-1. After the Xmas day win expect @ 6-1.

They have a mini-bye after Xmas and will beat Houston.

Built for the weather and don't care where they play. Henry and Lamar and company are a team nobody will want a part of in the playoffs. And rested, twice, going in.

All the favorites were @ 4-1 or less, btw. Not playable. Ravens by far the best value.
 
Pittsburgh is such an awful team to watch. There’s no fun and gun with them. It’s just a physical battle every game. All brawn, little skill.

Russ to Pickens was changing that but yeah they’re going to have, checks notes, Calvin Austin III, to open things up downfield.
 
Brady loves Lamar, always has.

I just want to see him playing his usual smooth, under control game. Don’t need him frenetic
 
Four man rush and 2 Steelers in the pocket. You can’t have it, just terrible by this O line vs basic pressure
 
Desmond King is bringing spark to the punt return but did he just fumble himself into Harbaugh’s doghouse?

In this 1-8 stretch vs Pittsburgh all the breaks have gone against them and it looks like they’re getting even today
 
Derrick Henry had 13 total carries when the Ravens lost in Pittsburgh in Week 11. He has six carries on Baltimore's first 10 plays
