Ian Schultz makes his prediction:

The Ravens head to Pittsburhg looking to right the ship after back to back losses. They will be taking on a desperate Steelers team looking to claw their way back into the AFC North title race.

Baltimore’s defense the last two weeks has been gashed for 500+ yards of total offense in back-to-back weeks for the first time in team history. There are coverage breakdowns, miscommunications, piss-poor tackling all throughout the long time strength of the Baltimore defense. They need it to get it right this week against Mason Rudolph, James Conner, and JuJu Smith-Schuster who have yet to find their stride in the Steelers offense.

Every Ravens player worthy of a Pro Bowl argument. light. Related Story

Offensively, the Ravens have been good enough to win more often than not. They need to establish the power running game better than they have been doing so. They have ran the same amount of times than they have passed and all four games were relatively close throughout. They need to get back to their game.

John Harbaugh and company have their backs to the wall in this one. While Pittsburgh needs this game more, Baltimore needs it pretty damn badly as well. Give me the Ravens 22-20
