Playoffs YTD
0-1
Pittsburgh Steelers (10-7)+9.5 (-116)
Over
Baltimore Ravens (12-5)
Lost 28-14
This spread is outrageous for a playoff game between two division rivals who know each other extremely well. Of course, I’ll mention the uncertainty of Baltimore’s top receiver, Zay Flowers (1,059 yards, 4 TD), who hasn’t practiced all week with a knee injury. The metrics and recent form may give the Ravens a decent edge in this game, but when it comes down to it, this is an AFC North clash between two teams that are very familiar with one another. They split the season series 1-1, so Pittsburgh has proven that they can hang tough with Baltimore.
Also, in the second meeting between the two teams (BAL W: 34-17), George Pickens (900 yards, 3TD) didn’t play. He’s an integral part of their vertical offense, and having him back in the lineup will surely make a difference. I just cannot pass up on this many points with the Steelers in a divisional contest. Let’s ride with Pittsburgh.
