Betting Trends

  • Pittsburgh is 2-7 straight up in its last nine games against the AFC.
  • Baltimore is 1-4 against the spread (ATS) in its last five home games against Pittsburgh.
  • The total has hit the under in six of Pittsburgh's last eight games against Baltimore.
  • The total has hit the under in each of Baltimore's last five home games.

"All signs are pointing to a low-scoring AFC North battle," Platana wrote. "For starters, the Steelers are averaging just 17.5 points in their last four games, whereas the Ravens have averaged 11.5 PPG in that span. Furthermore, the total has gone under in each of Baltimore's last five home games, as well as in six of the last eight Steelers-Ravens tilts.

"This should be a hard-hitting battle won in the trenches, so look for a low total to reflect that."

Final Score Prediction: Ravens: 19, Steelers: 13

Best Bet: Under 36 Points (-110)
