Ravens -3.5 (-105) ⭐⭐⭐
Several trends go against Baltimore. For example, the underdog is 25-7-3 ATS when John Harbaugh faces Mike Tomlin in the regular season. But Pittsburgh’s passing attack is heavily compromised with DK Metcalf suspended, tilting this game in Baltimore’s favor.
In the first matchup between these teams, Aaron Rodgers completed a season-high three deep passes for 121 yards, but all of those went to Metcalf. Without him last week, Pittsburgh tied a season-low with two receptions over 15 yards. That resulted in an NFL-low 3.7 average air yards per completion.

🙌 Best Ravens vs. Steelers touchdown scorer pick for SNF
See all of our NFL touchdown props and the rest of our NFL betting analysis.
Zay Flowers, WR, Ravens: Anytime touchdown scorer (+200) ⭐⭐
Pittsburgh has played man coverage on 36.8% of opposing dropbacks this season, fifth-highest in the league. But the Steelers have also been burned in that coverage, allowing the eighth-most yards per attempt and tied for fourth in touchdowns allowed (19).
Zay Flowers’ 27 receptions against man coverage are tied for the fourth-most in the NFL, while also ranking top five in yards in that coverage. He is a great value play to find the endzone after beating Pittsburgh’s man coverage for a career-high 79 yards in Week 14.
