Steelers @ Ravens – Sunday Night NFL Picks Against The Spread
The pros at FiveStarPick.com are looking forward to another profitable day in the NFL and tonight’s division rivalry between the Pittsburgh Steelers and Baltimore Ravens will not dissapoint. Las Vegas sportsbooks list the Ravens as 1-point home favorites with a total of 39.
The Steelers enter this divisional game with the Ravens on a two game losing streak and are currently sitting at 6-4 on the season. The Steelers lost last week, 27-24, in overtime to the Chiefs and it was a game where they out gained Kansas City 515 yards to 282. The Steelers committed 3 turnovers in the loss and deserved to lose.
A huge issue for the Steelers is the health of starting quarterback Ben Roethlisberger. Big Ben suffered a concussion last week and was forced to leave the game. As of right now, Roethlisberger is out for tonight’s game and Dixon will start in his place. The Steelers will be without their impact player on defense as Troy Polamalu is officially out of this game with a knee sprain.
The Steelers still have a solid defense allowing just 18 points a game and they are number one in the league against the run allowing just 69 yards per game and 3.4 yards per rush attempt. Through the air the Steelers are only giving up 9.8 yards per completion.
Baltimore sits at 5-5 on the season and cannot afford many more losses if they are to earn a post-season berth in the AFC. The Ravens have lost 5 of their last 7 decisions and were beaten 17-15 last week by Indy. Starting quarterback Joe Flacco is hitting on 65% of his passes with 19 touchdowns, but also has 13 interceptions on the year. The team has had little production from its receiving corps other than Derrick Mason this season. Running back Ray Rice has carried the load of the teams’ rushes on the ground with 5.0 yards a carry average on the season. The Ravens secondary have had its issues giving up big passing plays as the team allows 11.1 yards a completion ranking 21st in the league.
