The Sunday night NFL late game this week will pit the Baltimore Ravens (5-2) against the Pittsburgh Steelers (6-2).
This will be the 2nd time this season these AFC North rivals meet up after the Ravens embarrassed the Steelers 35-7 to start the year off in Baltimore.
Now it is the Steelers’ time to try and get some revenge in Pittsburgh in this 8:20 PM ET clash.
The Steelers had won in 2 previous outings against the Ravens prior to this season while covering the point spread in both victories.
The over has been a winner the last 2 times these squads have met up, and it has also won money in 9 of the last 12 head-to-head meetings.
The Steelers have covered the point spread in 7 of their last 9 as the favorite, while Baltimore has also been a winning wager in 4 of their last 5 against teams with winning records.
NFL betting odds show the Steelers as 3-point favorites with a total of 42.
Close to 70% of tracked NFL bettors are taking Pittsburgh to avenge their earlier loss, yet the point spread hasn’t budged since the odds debuted.
The total has seen a small amount of movement, getting wagered down half a point since opening at 42.5.
The Ravens have bested the Steelers, St. Louis Rams, New York Jets, Houston Texans, and Arizona Cardinals, but they’ve also lost against less-than-stellar teams in the Tennessee Titans and the Jacksonville Jaguars.
Pittsburgh has been bested by the Ravens and the Houston Texans this season, but has racked up victories against the Seattle Seahawks, Indianapolis Colts, Tennessee Titans, Jacksonville Jaguars, Arizona Cardinals, and New England Patriots.
The Steelers have covered the point spread in 3 of their last 4 games this season.
