Pittsburgh Steelers Team News
This is Mike Tomlin’s 16th season as head coach of the Pittsburgh Steelers. They never had a losing season with more losses than wins in that period. It seemed like that would happen this time, but the Steelers played well in November, so they have a chance to finish the year with nine wins.
In the past two weeks, they achieved two wins at road. The Steelers were better than the Indianapolis Colts and Atlanta Falcons for 5-7 record. Until the end of the regular season, they will play twice against the Baltimore Ravens, once against the Las Vegas Raiders and the Cleveland Browns in Pittsburgh, plus they will visit the Carolina Panthers. If they get a win this week, they might secretly be hoping for a playoff spot. When they succeeded last season from an almost impossible situation, anything is possible.
The Steelers defense has looked really good lately. They are especially good at defending the opposing run, which is something the entire Ravens offense is based on. Kenny Pickett has not thrown an interception since the end of October and it will be crucial that he is stable this week as well.
Baltimore Ravens Team News
It has become a rule over the past few years for the Baltimore Ravens to start the season great and then begin to play poorly as time goes on. That happened this time as well. They had a luckily win over the Denver Broncos last week, but they still didn’t scure spot in the playoffs.
In that win against the Broncos, Lamar Jackson was injured. He probably won’t play against the Pittsburgh Steelers and Cleveland Browns. If the Ravens lose next two games, they could again find themselves in a situation where the last game of the season will decide whether they will be part of the postseason or not. The Ravens have the most problems in offense where they have a hard time to find good rhythm.
It will be difficult for them to find a rhythm against the Steelers who defend run game very well. As things stand now, Tyler Huntley will be playing which is an additional problem. Although he had a couple of good games last year, it’s hard to expect an already critical offense to look good with him.
H2H
The Pittsburgh Steelers won four games in a row against the Baltimore Ravens. Of the last ten clashes, they beat them in seven occasions.
Injuries
T.J. Watt and Diontae Johnson are questionable for the Pittsburgh Steelers.
Several Baltimore Ravens players are out including Marcus Williams, Tylan Wallace, Jalyn Armour-Davis and J.K. Dobbins. Lamar Jackson is probable, while Kristian Welch, Patrick Queen, Kevin Zeitler and Patrick Mekari are questionable.
Pittsburgh Steelers vs. Baltimore Ravens Prediction
There is almost no chance that Jackson will play. Without him, the Ravens offense will be weaker. Even with him as starting quarterback, they had a hard time gaining yards. The Steelers are in a good rhythm, they know how to beat a big rival and there is no reason why they shouldn’t do it this time as well.
