NFL 2023 Season Picks for the Ravens at Steelers SNF. Divisions aren’t won and lost in the opening month of the season, but that being said, teams can put themselves in a hole that is difficult to dig out of. | NFL Odds, American Football NFL Lines | MyBookie Sportsbook

If you look at the AFC North right now, you see that the Cincinnati Bengals, a team that many considered a lock to win it, are digging themselves into just such a hole. On the flipside, you have the Baltimore Ravens sitting on top, but they have the Steelers and Browns sitting right behind them waiting to pounce. The Steelers can close that gap this weekend when they host Baltimore in a matchup that is always hard-hitting and filled with more than a little bit of nastiness. It’s one of the better rivalries in the NFL, which is why fans always have this one circled on the calendar. The Ravens head into the Steel City as a modest 3 ½ point favorite, with the O/U for this one set at 38 ½.

Why bet on the Baltimore Ravens

It’s very early in the season, but the Baltimore Ravens already find themselves in a very strong position in the AFC North. Besides being 3-1 overall, they are also 2-0 in divisional games and could make life very difficult for the other 3 teams in the division if they can find a way to go into Pittsburgh and come away with the win. While far from being an offensive juggernaut, the Ravens are consistently scoring in the mid to high 20s in each game, which is proving to be more than enough when you look at how well they are playing on the defensive side of the football. This matchup, though, is one that has given them trouble of late, with the Ravens winning just once in their last 6 meetings with Pittsburgh. They are strong in October, winning 13 of their last 16 and have covered the spread in 4 of their last 6 overall. The UNDER had hit in 4 of their last 5 trips to Pittsburgh.

Why bet on the Pittsburgh Steelers

You don’t need to be a football genius to pinpoint what is wrong with this Steelers team in the early going. The offense is not getting anything going at all, thanks in large part to some major struggles with the run game. Further adding to that issue is the health of Kenny Pickett, who left the field with a knee injury last weekend. Word is that he will start this one, but he may be on a short leash if it looks as though that knee is giving him any issues at all. Week 5 has been kind to the Steelers over the years, as they have won 11 of their last 14 in this part of the season. Another positive is that they have covered the spread in 7 of their last 10 divisional games. The Steelers have seen the UNDER hit in 10 of their last 14 home games.

Ravens at Steelers SNF Expert Pick and Series Prediction

Matchups between these two teams are usually high in hitting and low in scoring, so I don’t really expect much else this week. I think we are looking at a FG game here, so I am taking the Ravens to win and the Steelers to cover, as well as the UNDER.

Baltimore Ravens 17, Pittsburgh Steelers 14
