Pittsburgh Steelers Eying a 5th Straight Win at M&T Bank Stadium
The Pittsburgh Steelers have been doing great in the 2024 NFL season, with a 10-4 record. If they beat the Ravens on Saturday afternoon, they’re going to secure the divisional title – and will hit the stamp on their playoff ticket.
The Week 16 game is played in Baltimore, but this isn’t something that worries the Steelers. The thing is that they have a very good record against the Ravens in games played at M&T Bank Stadium. They beat the Ravens in each of their last four games played in Baltimore.
Can they do it again? Well, their defense has been sensational in 2024, with an average of just 18.9 points conceded per game. That number was even lower, but they conceded 27 against the Steelers last weekend and 38 against the Bengals three weeks ago.
All Eyes on Lamar Jackson and the Ravens Offense
The Baltimore Ravens are 9-5, which puts them in second place in the AFC North. However, they’re third in points per game, with an average of 29.9. It’s all thanks to their quarterback, Lamar Jackson, who’s been incredibly creative all over the field.
This guy is second in the NFL in passing touchdowns with 34 and fifth in passing yards with 3,580. He also has three rushing TDs to his name, along with 743 rushing yards.
The reason why the Ravens don’t have an even better record in 2024 is that their defense hasn’t been great. These guys are conceding 23.7 points per game, which is way too much.
The good news is that they’ve started showing signs of improvement – they conceded just 14 last weekend. The bad news is that it happened against the NY Giants, who are nowhere near as good as the Ravens’ next opponent.
Pittsburgh Steelers vs. Baltimore Ravens Week 16 Prediction
Our prediction is that this is going to be a low-scoring game in which the winner will be decided late in the final quarter. And we think a single field goal will decide the winner. Given that the Steelers are seen as +6 underdogs, we’re going to back them to cover the spread.
Pick: Pittsburgh Steelers +6
