Stephen Nover's NFL Sunday Big Ticket
(NFL) Ravens (BAL) vs. Steelers (PIT),
Point Spread: -3.00 | -115.00 Ravens (BAL) (Away)
Result: Loss
Great job by Mike Tomlin and the Steelers this season. But I don't see the Steelers continuing their magic in this step-up matchup.

Pittsburgh is riding a four-game win streak after nipping the Commanders by one point this past Sunday. The Steelers' previous three victories were against the Giants, Jets and Raiders, whose combined record is 7-22. 

Baltimore is in the argument for best team in the NFL. Certainly the Ravens are the most explosive. Lamar Jackson has thrown 24 touchdown passes to just two interceptions. Thanks to Jackson, rushing leader Derrick Henry and a bevy of quality receivers, the Ravens are No. 1 in the NFL in points, yards and rushing yards. The Steelers just surrendered 27 points to the Commanders. The previous week they gave up 22 points to the punchless Giants. No way can they contain the Ravens.

Pittsburgh is reliant upon the run. Baltimore has the top run defense in the NFL. Russell Wilson is far from his prime. He can't keep up with Jackson. Pittsburgh ranks 26th in passing. 

The Ravens play well on the road, too, going 10-3 during their past 13 away contests. The Ravens defense is dropping way down in quarterback class facing Wilson after going against Joe Burrow.
