OddsShark Computer Prediction: Baltimore 27.1, Pittsburgh 26.5
Pittsburgh hosts Baltimore at Heinz Field at 8:30pm ET on Sunday night.
Baltimore lost to the Cincinnati Bengals for the second time this season last week, narrowly edged out on the road by a score of 27-24. The Ravens are 5-1 SU and ATS in their six games against other teams this season, including a 26-6 win at home against Pittsburgh back in Week 2. Baltimore will be looking to break out of a slump in road games against divisional opponents with a 1-5 SU and ATS record in its last six games against AFC North rivals.
Sunday night’s total is set at 47.5 points at sportsbooks monitored by OddsShark.com. The OVER is 2-0 in Baltimore’s last two home games and 4-0 in Pittsburgh’s last four home games, but 12 of the last 14 games between these two teams have played to under 45 points.
Baltimore’s 26-6 win over Pittsburgh earlier this season broke a streak of five straight games in this series being decided by a field goal or less. These two teams always play close against one another and this should be another great game. Look for Pittsburgh to edge out a win at home to get some revenge for its loss to the Ravens earlier this year.
