Ravens vs. Steelers Final Score Prediction for NFL Week 11 (Who will win AFC North Battle

Ravens vs. Steelers Final Score Prediction for NFL Week 11 (Who will win AFC North Battle

First place in the AFC North will be on the line on Sunday when the Baltimore Ravens (7-3) hit the road to play the Pittsburgh Steelers (7-2).

Pittsburgh is coming off a comeback win over the Washington Commanders, and it’s a perfect 3-0 under veteran quarterback Russell Wilson. Meanwhile, the Ravens earned a one-point victory over the Cincinnati Bengals on Thursday Night Football in Week 10.

Baltimore’s defense has been shaky all season, especially against the pass, which could be a problem on the road in Week 11.

Oddsmakers still favor Lamar Jackson – the MVP favorite – and the Ravens in this matchup. But does that mean we should bet on them?

Using the latest odds and analysis, here’s an overview of this match, including a final score prediction for Sunday.

The Steelers are an impressive 7-2 against the spread this season, coming off a straight-up win against Washington in Week 10.

Meanwhile, the Ravens enter this game with a 5-4-1 against the spread through their first 10 games.

SI Betting’s NFL betting insider Iain MacMillan believes the Steelers can cover the spread in this game, and he explained why in his Off to column 272 – where he bets every NFL game, every week:

I may be a little late, but I’m joining the Pittsburgh Steelers. Russell Wilson ranks sixth in the NFL in the EPA+CPOE composite after his first three starts, so we clearly need to evaluate him differently than when he was in Denver.

I can’t stress enough how important the Ravens defense is. They now rank 27th in the NFL in opponent EPA per play and their terrible secondary keeps their opponents in the game no matter how much of a lead their offense gives them.

I also have some concerns about the Ravens’ discipline. They averaged 8.0 penalties per game, the second highest in the league, and 68.3 penalties per game, which is the most. If you give the Steelers free yards, they will take advantage.

Finally, the Steelers have one of the most elite run defenses in the league and a big key to stopping the Ravens offense is slowing down their run game. If they can do that, the Steelers can stick with Baltimore.

There’s no doubt that Baltimore’s defense has been a problem this season. That said, Lamar Jackson and Derrick Henry have seemingly made up for these shortcomings by putting in plenty of flashy offensive performances.

Don’t be shocked if the Ravens pull out a close victory, though, as Pittsburgh is an NFL-best 19-6-3 against the spread as a home underdog since Mike Tomlin took over as head coach in 2007.

Final score prediction: Ravens 28, Steelers 27
