For the second straight game, the Pittsburgh Steelers are heading into hostile territory to take on one of the best teams in the NFL and they are doing it minus their best offensive weapon. Last week the passing game struggled against the Philadelphia Eagles without wide receiver George Pickens and we could see a repeat this week against the Baltimore Ravens.
Despite having a better record and being in the lead in the AFC North, the Steelers are huge longshots to beat the Ravens on Saturday on the road. NFL pundits tend to agree with their picks. According to NFL Pick Watch, only 12 percent of experts are taking the Steelers this week.
The Steelers beat the Ravens in Pittsburgh 18-16 earlier in the season. Russell Wilson threw for 205 yards with 89 of them going to Pickens. If Pittsburgh can beat the Ravens, they would clinch the AFC North.
