The Steelers (8-3) are fortunate to even be tied for the lead in the division after surviving several close calls this season. The most recent was a dropped pass in the end zone by WR Stevie Johnson that would have given Buffalo the win in OT. Both Ben Roethlisberger and Troy Polamalu are battling foot injuries but expected to play.
The Ravens (8-3) are starting to hit their stride with an offense that is ranked 14th overall in the league and a defense that is ranked eighth overall and fifth in points allowed; giving up an average of just 17.1 per game. LT Michael Oher strained his left knee but is expected to be ready to go by Sunday night.
Pittsburgh is 3-1-1 ATS in its last five games against the Ravens. The road team is 4-1-1 ATS in the last six meetings and the underdog is 5-1-1 in the last seven. The total has gone ‘over’ in six of the last nine games in this series. The Steelers backs are to the wall in this one, having already lost to the Ravens 17-14 in Week 4 so once again they find a way to win.
The odds makers have the Baltimore Ravens as a -3 point favorite with an over/under of 40.
