Ravens 27, Steelers 23 “The Ravens have the defensive playmakers to force Roethlisberger into mistakes and will benefit from a week of rest and regrouping. They’ll outlast their archrivals in another nip-and-tuck battle.” |

Steelers 26, Ravens 24 “Lamar Jackson and friends are capable of exploding at any moment, but I haven't seen it enough yet to trust them this week. Pittsburgh's formula of young wideouts making plays after the catch buoyed by an improving James Conner feels more sustainable.” |

Ravens 24, Steelers 20 “The Ravens will get some big plays from Marquise Brown, and Mark Andrews is a tough red zone cover for the Steelers, as Jackson's running neutralizes the Steelers' pass rush a bit.” |

Ravens 31, Steelers 17 “The Steelers did a good job containing Derrick Henry, but this rushing offense is different. Additionally, the Ravens defense is just good (whereas the Titans is not).” |

Ravens 35, Steelers 30 “The Steelers will get their first loss of the season as the Ravens’ offense comes alive in a great AFC North battle.” |

|
Steelers 27, Ravens 24 “The Steelers are closing in on team of destiny territory. Beating the Ravens in Baltimore could clinch it.” |
| Chris Simms |
|
Ravens 20, Steelers 17 “I trust Lamar Jackson and Baltimore not to turn the ball over more than I do Big Ben and the Steelers. That’s what I’m going to boil it down to. I think we’re going to see an ugly, defensive struggle.” |

Ravens 20, Steelers 17 “Normally, I’d go with Pittsburgh because its defense is nasty against the run — an obvious issue for Baltimore — but the Ravens are home and fresh.” |
