Childs Walker		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.”

PUNDIT	PROJECTED WINNER	COMMENTARY
Gregg Rosenthal		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.”

Vinnie Iyer		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.”

Pete Prisco		Steelers 27, Ravens 24 “The Steelers will take a tough road game by limiting Baltimore's run game and stay undefeated.”
Jason La Canfora
Will Brinson		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).”
Jared Dubin
Ryan Wilson
John Breech		Steelers 26, Ravens 23 “The Steelers almost beat the Ravens last year without Roethlisberger and now that they have him, I think they're actually going to get the job done.”

Michael David Smith		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.”
Mike Florio		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.”
