Featured Game | Baltimore Ravens vs. Pittsburgh Steelers
Why the Ravens can cover
Quarterback Lamar Jackson (knee), who leads the team in rushing with 764 yards, has been sidelined since the first quarter of Baltimore’s 10-9 victory against Denver in Week 13. However, the Ravens still rank second in the NFL in rushing with an average of 166 yards per contest and have three other players with more than 400 yards on the ground. J.K. Dobbins gained 59 yards in the team’s 17-9 win against Atlanta last week after posting back-to-back 100-yard performances.
Putting points on the board against Baltimore has not been an easy task this season. The Ravens are third in the league in points allowed (18.1) and have given up an average of 11.6 during their home winning streak. They have not surrendered a touchdown in their last three contests at M&T Bank Stadium, limiting opponents to a total of seven field goals. See which team to pick here.
Why the Steelers can cover
Pittsburgh has struggled offensively this season, averaging only 17.6 points to rank 29th in the NFL. However, the Steelers have recorded at least 20 points in four of their last seven contests and Kenny Pickett has thrown only two interceptions in that span after hurling seven over his first four games. The 24-year-old quarterback, who was the 20th overall pick in the 2022 NFL Draft, threw a 14-yard touchdown pass to fellow rookie George Pickens with 46 seconds remaining in the fourth quarter last week to complete the team’s late comeback.
The Steelers are 13th in the league in points allowed (21.3) but have been much stingier of late. Since returning from their bye week, they have limited opponents to 17 points or fewer in six of seven games – winning five of them. Pittsburgh leads the NFL with 17 interceptions and safety Minkah Fitzpatrick is tied for third with five, matching the career high he set in 2019. See which team to pick here.
