Of all the weeks in the NFL, there are actually fewer divisional rivals this week than usual this Sunday. However, one that is still on the menu is arguably the biggest in the league with the Pittsburgh Steelers hosting the Baltimore Ravens. As these AFC North foes go at it, we’ve got our best Ravens vs. Steelers predictions for you.

Not only that, but we’ve also got a guaranteed $200 BetMGM Sportsbook sign up bonus for you to enjoy alongside the best bet from our Ravens vs. Steelers picks! 

 

 

 

Ravens vs. Steelers Predictions For NFL Week 11, Sunday 11/17

Matchups between the Ravens and Steelers are always physical, tough battles that never seem to disappoint, and this Sunday, the stakes are even higher. It may not be a playoff matchup, but with them sitting at 7-3 and 72, respectively, this clash could determine the AFC North come season’s end.

Historically, it’s been a game featuring hard-nosed defense, but this season, we’re predicting a different type of game. That’s thanks to Baltimore now having the league’s best offense rather than defense. As for the Steelers, they are still defensively focused overall, but we did just see them score nearly 30 points this past Sunday.

Of course, the Ravens vs. Steelers odds reflect these changes in style, which have a major influence on where we’re looking for the top pick from our Ravens vs. Steelers predictions.
 

 

 

Baltimore Ravens: Keeping Pace

After starting the season 0-2, there was a very real chance that the Ravens were on the fast track to missing the playoffs altogether given their tough schedule after being Super Bowl hopefuls prior to the season. However, having one seven of their last eight games, including two thrillers over the AFC North opponent Cincinnati Bengals, they are now in the Big Game discussions once again.

Such a great streak of success would generally have teams in prime position in their division if not the entire conference, but the Steelers have made things difficult by greatly exceeding expectations. So much so that Baltimore isn’t even atop the AFC North right now, so this game is just as much about keeping pace as it is taking down a bitter rival.
 

 

 

Pittsburgh Steelers: It All Starts Here

For all the drama surrounding the Steelers entering the season, primarily in the QB room, head coach Mike Tomlin has yet again proved why he is one of the greats. He has already all but guaranteed his 18th straight winning season, but the stretch ahead is a daunting one.

We say it all starts here because Pittsburgh’s remaining schedule is as tough as it gets. Over their remaining eight games, they have ALL their AFC North matchups PLUS the other two against the Kansas City Chiefs and Philadelphia Eagles, two Super Bowl hopefuls. So, it’s as if a brand new set of games starts with this rivalry. 
 

 

 

Ravens vs. Steelers Odds, Spreads, Total & Betting Lines

So that we can fully dive into our top pick, here are the latest Ravens vs. Steelers odds at BetMGM Sportsbook:

 

 

Ravens vs. Steelers Predictions: Under 48.5 Points (-110 at BetMGM Sportsbook)

Given what we’ve noted about both teams, the best bet from our Ravens vs. Steelers predictions may surprise you. However, we also noted how the changes of style have influenced the Ravens vs. Steelers odds as well.

The total for this rivalry has been set at 34, 38.5, 35.5 and 36.5 the past two seasons. While the uptick makes sense given Baltimore’s offense this season, it has been overly adjusted. Before we fully explain, even with those low totals above, all four stayed under. Better yet, these teams have stayed under the total in seven straight meetings!

As for this upcoming meeting, the easier side of the matchup to understand is Pittsburgh - they’ve allowed more than 20 points just twice all season. So, what about this Ravens defense that is on the struggle bus? Well, it’s all about matchups, and we have perfect examples for you. 

Baltimore has the absolute worst passing defense. So, when they play teams that like to air it out like the Bengals, they get torched to the tune of 34 and 38 points. However, they have the absolute best run defense. So, when they play teams like the Buffalo Bills who like to grind things out (even with QB Josh Allen), the Ravens allowed just 10 points.

We fully understand that Baltimore has had some high-scoring games, but as the saying goes, styles make fights. This rivalry truly is a fight, and the best bet from our Ravens vs. Steelers predictions is under 48.5 points (-110 at BetMGM Sportsbook).
