Week 17 - Ravens vs. Dolphins
Last year’s game between Baltimore and the Miami Dolphins was a classic. Baltimore jumped out to a 28-7 lead in the first half and entered the fourth quarter up 35-14. Unfortunately for Baltimore, the NFL world found out just how explosive Miami’s offense was that day, as the Dolphins scored 28 fourth quarter points to win the game 42-38.
This year’s game may not have the dramatics of a comeback, but another high-scoring contest should be expected. Both offenses will likely be explosive and this game will probably turn into a race. Unfortunately for Baltimore, Miami is built for races. The Ravens lose another shootout to the Dolphins.
Ravens lose (12-4)
Week 18 - Ravens vs. Steelers
You can never count Mike Tomlin and the Pittsburgh Steelers out. Everyone was confident that last season would be the year that Tomlin would finally have a losing season. However, Tomlin overcame several obstacles to lead the Steelers to a 9-8 record. En route to that record, the Steelers also found a franchise quarterback in Kenny Pickett and split the season series with Baltimore.
This season, Pittsburgh should be better equipped to compete in the AFC North which could be a challenge for Baltimore. However, Baltimore is a tough team itself and has also made significant improvements. This will probably be a typical hard-fought AFC North contest, but Baltimore should get this win at home.
Ravens win (13-4)
