The Pittsburgh Steelers (9-7, 9-7-0 ATS) will make their annual trip to Maryland on Saturday afternoon.
There, the top-seeded Baltimore Ravens (13-3, 11-5-0 ATS) will try not to get overwhelmed by their AFC North opponents.
The game is scheduled to start at 4:44:04:30 p.m.

Can Pittsburgh get the wins they need or can the Ravens just have a great regular season? Pittsburgh playoff games?
The Steelers have several paths to the playoffs, most of them It’s about not losing.
In one scenario, the Jaguars lose, the Broncos win, and the Texans and Colts tie.
Easier options for Pittsburgh start with either the Jaguars or the Bills winning or losing.
They will rely on a defense that held the Ravens to 10 points in Week 5 and allowed the seventh-fewest points per game (19.
6 points). Watt, the Steelers recorded 25 takeaways and 43 sacks under the guidance of T.J.
Behind those explosive plays is a team that is allowing him 5.
5 yards per play, 26th in the NFL.
Pittsburgh is allowing 4.
3 yards per carry (20th) and 7.
4 yards per pass attempt (23rd).
Will he have three takeaways and four sacks like he did in Game 1 between Pittsburgh and Baltimore?
If the defense does its job, it could prevent the Steelers’ offense, which has struggled all season, from shooting the Steelers in the foot.
Mason Rudolph, on the other hand, has started the last two games, which has limited Pittsburgh to just a 30-point performance this season.
Aside from having the best ball security in the NFL (just 14 giveaways), Pittsburgh’s offense was a mess.
17.

The Steelers rank 29th in passing yards and 23rd in yards per pass attempt.

1 yards per run (17th).
But things have been going like a dream the past two weeks, and another strong showing could keep Pittsburgh’s title hopes alive.
BALTIMORE IS BEST IN HIS AFC Baltimore’s playoff scenario this week is to stay healthy.
The Ravens defeated the Dolphins by 37 points last week to secure first place in the AFC.
Many starters will likely get few or no snaps on Saturday.
MVP candidate Lamar Jackson hasn’t played, and rookie wide receiver Zay Flowers hasn’t practiced either.
They are an integral part of the Ravens’ offense, ranking second in points per game. Baltimore has his third-most yards per carry and he leads the NFL in rushing.
He has the third-most yards per attempt in their passing attack.
Baltimore has only 4 teams with fewer giveaways than his 17 teams.
Things will be a little different Saturday depending on who plays, but this team is great.
Still, the Ravens defense is the best in the NFL.
Kyle Hamilton was not scheduled to play after sustaining a bruise, while Marlon Humphrey did not practice.
Don’t expect many players from the NFL’s top clubs to participate.
The Ravens allow the second fewest yards per play.
No team has more sacks or allowed fewer yards per pass attempt.
Baltimore gives up the fewest points per game and can look even more impressive at times.

Five of those seven games ended with a difference of four points or less. Some of these matchups had at least one backup QB among the many inactive starters.Crows are helpful too.
