Why Bet on the Ravens?

The Baltimore Ravens are in a tough spot. With a 6–6 record, you’d think they wouldn’t be in the playoff hunt, but since no one in their division has performed well, they actually sit in first place in the AFC North—though tied with their opponent this Sunday.

They had their five-game winning streak snapped after losing at home to the Cincinnati Bengals 14–32 on Thanksgiving Day. It was not a good game for Lamar Jackson, who completed 17 of 32 passes for 246 yards and threw one interception.

This is precisely Baltimore’s problem: they need Lamar back. Not necessarily at his MVP level, but at least playing well. The quarterback has gone three straight games without throwing a touchdown pass or scoring on the ground, completing under 60% of his passes and throwing three interceptions—his worst drought since becoming the starter. The positive side is that during December and January, Jackson transforms, and since 2018, he has a 22–4 record in this span, throwing 53 touchdowns. However, he did not practice on Thursday and is questionable.

Against the Bengals, the touchdowns came on the ground, with Derrick Henry and Keaton Mitchell, who scored his first of the season. Henry, meanwhile, now has four touchdowns in his last three games and is beginning to regain form.

Why Bet on the Steelers?

The Pittsburgh Steelers (6–6) believed they had a strong chance this season after seeing the Ravens start 1–5, but Mike Tomlin’s team also fell into a terrible slump, losing five of their last seven games. Now, the postseason outlook is far from clear—though a win this Sunday could give them a major boost.

They come into this matchup with two straight losses, the most recent last weekend against the Buffalo Bills, who crushed them 7–26. The team’s only touchdown came from running back Jaylen Warren.

It was a rough game for Aaron Rodgers, who completed just 10 of 21 passes for a 48% completion rate—his lowest since posting 46% on October 18, 2020, with the Green Bay Packers against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. He finished with 117 yards, and it was his first game of the season without a touchdown pass.

The team has several injured players, leading to many lineup changes that may be affecting the performance of a squad that has now lost its last three road games.

Final Betting Analysis: Ravens vs. Steelers

A very close matchup and a crucial one for both teams’ aspirations. They know that the winner would essentially gain a two-game advantage over the other in the battle for the division. The Ravens had a very poor game and lost, but they were on a strong winning streak beforehand, so we believe it was just a setback, and they will bounce back to win.

The numbers at Gambyl Exchange have the Ravens as the favorite, with their Moneyline at -270, while the Steelers sit at +220.

The last time they faced each other was in last season’s playoffs, with Baltimore winning 28–14. The all-time series favors Pittsburgh, which leads both in regular-season matchups (33–25) and postseason meetings (3–2).

Go for a win for the Ravens. If you bet $100 at -270, you will gain $37 for a total payout of $137.
