Stephen Nover's NFL Saturday Spread Crusher - 65% NFL Last 4 Weeks
(NFL) Pittsburgh vs. Baltimore,
Point Spread: 3.00 | -108.00 Baltimore (Home)
Result: Loss
Just because the Steelers are in a must-win spot to keep their playoff hopes alive, doesn't mean they will win. Yes, I understand the Ravens have clinched the No. 1 seed in the AFC and will be sitting out multiple starters, including Lamar Jackson.

But John Harbaugh doesn't like losing, especially to Baltimore's bitter rival, which is Pittsburgh.

The Ravens have excellent depth and revenge for a frustrating 17-10 Week 5 loss to the Steelers when Baltimore turned the ball over three times.

Harbaugh has shown how much he hates losing as the Ravens are 24-2 in their last 26 preseason games. Baltimore also has covered 77 percent of the time the past 31 instances it has been an underdog going 24-7 ATS.

Tyler Huntley will be starting instead of Jackson. But he's no worse, if not better, than Pittsburgh's QB, immobile Mason Rudolph, who was Mike Tomlin's third choice at quarterback after Kenny Pickett and Mitch Trubisky.

The Steelers have injuries at linebacker and in the secondary so they also will have reserves in their lineup.
