Steelers vs. Ravens Predictions For The Wild Card Saturday, 1/11

All eyes will be on Charm City come 8 PM ET Saturday night where the Ravens will look to extend the Steelers four-game losing streak by beating them for the second time in three weeks. The Steelers vs. Ravens odds would suggest that they have no issues in doing so, but it’s far from a guarantee.

With the point spread having reached double digits, we’d be inclined to take the Pittsburgh side of the matchup, as not only has head coach Mike Tomlin been fantastic as an underdog, but rivalry games against Baltimore have almost always been close.

While that wasn’t the case on the Sunday before Christmas, they outright upset Baltimore in their first meeting this season. So, we’d recommend taking the points, but as for the best bet from our Steelers vs. Ravens predictions, we’re going to avoid the standard markets altogether.

 

 

 

Pittsburgh Steelers: Snapping The Streak

Before we get into the prop that we love for this matchup, let’s get into each team first. As mentioned, Pittsburgh ended their regular season by losing four straight games. That makes them just the third team in NFL history to enter the playoffs on a streak of four or more losses.

It was expected by many that they would struggle down the stretch, as all six divisional games fell within their final eight games of the season. The other two contests were against the Kansas City Chiefs and Philadelphia Eagles, both of which were losses. It’s not all doom and gloom for the Steelers though - they’re 3-1 against the Ravens in the playoffs.

 

 

 

Baltimore Ravens: Lamar’s Third MVP?

Despite still being among the class of young QBs in the NFL, Ravens QB Lamar Jackson has already won the MVP award twice, including just last season and one that was unanimous. Since the NFL regular season finale, arguably the biggest debate is whether or not he should win his third.

According to the betting markets, he’s going to lose it to Buffalo Bills QB Josh Allen looking to win his first. Based on pure stats, Lamar’s numbers are even better than his MVP-season last year, so it’s still a possibility. While fans and analysts are debating about that, Lamar would sure love to win his first Lombardi Trophy as well.

As promised, we’ve got the latest Steelers vs. Ravens odds at FanDuel Sportsbook for you below:

 

 

 

Steelers vs. Ravens Best Bet: Lamar Jackson Over 8.5 Carries (-120 at FanDuel Sportsbook)

We mentioned that Pittsburgh is 3-1 against Baltimore in their postseason history, and it’s also worth noting that the over/under is 4-0 in those meetings as well. It’s just as important to share that playoff favorites of nine points or more are an incredible 13-3 against the spread in league Wild Card history!

So, while the Steelers are great as underdogs against the Ravens, that is also a factor in us avoiding the point spread. If we are to see the over trend continue, then we expect Lamar to also continue his MVP-caliber season. That’s why the focus of our Steelers vs. Ravens predictions is for the Baltimore QB to show off his dynamic running ability.

Make no mistake - we’re well aware that Ravens RB Derrick Henry is an absolute freak. However, that also forces the defense to focus on him. While Philadelphia Eagles RB Saquon Barkley has stolen the talk show headlines, Henry quietly became the only RB in NFL history to rush for over 1,900 yards in multiple seasons.

While Pittsburgh is forced to focus on the King, they’ll also be getting torched by the first QB in league history to throw for over 4,000 yards and rush for over 800 yards. Lamar has loved scrambling against the Steelers as well, including nine carries when they met just before Christmas.

The QB also had nine carries in the regular season finale last weekend to help Baltimore steal the AFC North title from Pittsburgh. With all the above in mind, the best bet from our Steelers vs. Ravens predictions is Lamar Jackson over 8.5 carries (-120 at FanDuel Sportsbook).

 

 

 

Steelers vs. Ravens Injury Report & Latest News

Adding to the reasons as to why we love the best bet from our Steelers vs. Ravens picks is the fact that one of the biggest injury news stories for the NFL playoffs is that of Baltimore WR Zay Flowers. 

He’s hopeful to fight through his knee issue, but the team doesn’t sound the most optimistic. You can monitor that, any updates for Steelers CB Joey Porter and more with the Fantasy Alarm NFL injury report.
