Pittsburgh Steelers vs Baltimore Ravens Prediction & Picks - NFL

 by Simon Day | in NFL Picks

One of the highlights of NFL Wild Card weekend sees fierce rivals the Baltimore Ravens and Pittsburgh Steelers lock horns at M&T Bank Stadium on Saturday night. The Ravens held the edge over the Steelers in the regular season, winning the AFC North with a 12-5 record, two games ahead of their rivals. Pittsburgh did look to be in pole position to claim the divisional title, but after finishing the campaign with four consecutive defeats they had to settle for a Wild Card place and a tough looking road trip. Despite upset defeats to the likes of the Browns and Raiders, the Ravens come into the postseason as genuine contenders for the Super Bowl and are 9.5 point favorites to get past the Steelers.

Pittsburgh Steelers - Baltimore Ravens: Form Analysis

Baltimore finished the regular season in style, winning their final four games by a combined total of 92 points. That run included a hard fought 34-17 victory over the Steelers, in a game which was effectively decided by Marlon Humphreys' 4th quarter pick six. Key to the Ravens' success has been the MVP caliber form of quarterback Lamar Jackson, who has posted an incredible QBR of 77.5 for the season. Jackson has been greatly helped by RB Derrick Henry who has racked up 1,921 rushing yards and 16 touchdowns. On the other side of the field, the Ravens' rush defense has dominated games, allowing a league low 80 yards per game to opposition runners.  

The Steelers' poor recent results have largely been down to a stalling offense. QB Russell Wilson's form has severely dipped, the fun game has fizzled out and Pittsburgh have not topped 17 points in any of their last four games. The Steelers' defense has also suffered a big downturn in form and they will need to dramatically improve on both sides of the ball if they want to keep Jackson, Henry and co in check this weekend. 

Pittsburgh Steelers & Baltimore Ravens Squad Analysis

Baltimore will be missing star wide receiver Zay Floers on Saturday. The second year wideout suffered a knee injury during the Week 18 victory over the Browns and did not practice at all this week. On the plus side, elite safety Kyle Hamilton and backup RB Justice Hill are both on track to suit up following minor injuries. 

The Steelers have a concern over Pro Bowl kicker Chris Boswell, who missed Wednesday's practice with illness. Defensive tackle Cam Heyward is also suffering from flu and remains a major doubt for Saturday. Backup TE MyCole Pruitt and lineman Mason McCormick have also been limited in practice and their status for the game remains in question. 

Pittsburgh Steelers - Baltimore Ravens Key Points

  1. The Steelers are on a 4 game losing streak
  2. There have been over 43.5 points in 14 of the Ravens' 17 games this season
  3. Baltimore have won 6 of their last 7 home games
  4. The Ravens are on a 4 game winning streak

Our Pittsburgh Steelers vs Baltimore Ravens Prediction

The Steelers' form is a huge concern and it is very hard to see them turning things around against a Ravens team playing their best football of the season. Pittsburgh struggled to contain Jackson and Henry when the teams met just three weeks and there is little to suggest that anything will be different this time around. With that in mind, the totals spread of 43.5 points looks fairly low, so we are predicting that total to be exceeded as the Ravens break to a comfortable victory.  Our prediction for Baltimore Ravens vs Pittsburgh Steelers is: Ravens to win and over 43.5 points.
