What there is to know
The Pittsburgh Steelers and the Baltimore Ravens are scheduled to meet in an AFC North game at 8 p.m. ET on December 1 at Heinz Field. These two teams have allowed few points on average (Pittsburgh 17.4, Baltimore 19.5), so any runs scored will be well deserved.
The Steelers took their fight against the Jacksonville Jaguars last week with a concluding score of 27-3. No one had an offensive exhibition game for Pittsburgh, but they did get scores from RB Benny Snell, TE Eric Ebron and WR Chase Claypool. Quarterback Ben Roethlisberger ended up with a 128.30 passer rating.
The Pittsburgh defense was a presence, holding Jacksonville to a meager 206 yards. The defense collected four interceptions. The picks came courtesy of SS Terrell Edmunds and FS Minkah Fitzpatrick.
Meanwhile, the Ravens fought the right fight in their overtime game against the Tennessee Titans last week, but ended up with a less than desirable result, falling 30-24. Baltimore’s loss shouldn’t cloud the performance of TE Mark Andrews, who caught five passes for a TD and 96 yards, and RB JK Dobbins, who hit a rushing touchdown.
The special teams collected ten points for Baltimore. K Justin Tucker delivered a perfect 3v3 game.
Pittsburgh is the favorite in this one, with an expected margin of victory of 8.5 points. They’ve been consistent ATS money makers when favored (6-2), so they could be worth a quick bet.
Pittsburgh’s victory took them to 10-0 while Baltimore’s loss brought them down to 6-4. A pair of defensive numbers to keep in mind before kick-off: The Steelers come into the game after picking up the ball 15 times, good for the first in the NFL. As for the Ravens, they enter the competition with 16 forced fumbles, which is the best in the league.
