Steelers at Ravens

Steelers limp into Baltimore after losing 4 straight, including a 17-point loss to the Ravens in week 16. Winning here looks like a near-impossible task.

While year after year, the Ravens' defense is reliably up to the task, this season they sport the top offense in the league. League leaders on independent stats yards per pass, yards per play and offensive giveaways, Ravens roll to the top rank in points scored.

Pictured below, another one of Ravens' league-leading stats, Yards Gained, illustrates just what the Steelers are up against.

Steelers' pass D is weaker than league average, ranking 20th. Killer Stat, Defense. They are in for a long day.

Our computer likes Ravens by 12 points after getting 3 for the home field. This looks a tough spot for the Steelers. I'm going to agree and look for a big win for Ravens.
