💰 Ravens vs. Steelers weather: Betting impact for SNF today
Who could ask for a better scene tonight on Sunday Night Football than a bitter cold backdrop for two of the toughest franchises in football to battle it out for the AFC North crown?
The latest weather forecast in Pittsburgh calls for temperatures in the mid-20s from kickoff to the final whistle with very little wind or precipitation to speak of. That's a good sign for the Ravens and Steelers in terms of execution, as we likely won't see the sort of outcome-determinant weather that descended upon the Panthers vs. Buccaneers game.
Still, the winner of tonight's game will have to withstand bone-chilling temperatures on the field, which could certainly play a role in who takes it. Here's how I'd approach the weather when making your Ravens vs. Steelers predictions:
Sunday Night Football weather impact
- Which team can establish the run? Both of these teams have long identified as smashmouth units built around the run game, and they'll need to prove it tonight with bitter cold temperatures testing the fortitude of linebackers and defensive backs at the point of impact. Ravens rusher Derrick Henry is particularly known for punishing defenders in the cold, which is one reason he's featured in our first touchdown scorer predictions for Sunday Night Football.
- Will early hits wear on these QBs? Lamar Jackson has battled injury all season and could be at risk of an early exit if he hits the stone-cold turf tonight. The same could be true for 42-year-old Aaron Rodgers, who could retire after this season, as the Steelers have actively tried to avoid him getting hit. The bitter cold temperatures tonight make for a dangerous environment if either are pressured early on.
- Trust the top targets for each side. In a game with stakes this high, it's best to trust the big dogs for either offense. The Steelers are without top target DK Metcalf, which means more opportunities for running backs Jaylen Warren and Kenneth Gainwell in the passing game. Meanwhile, Henry and Mark Andrews figure to play a key role tonight for the Ravens, which is why they headline our Ravens vs. Steelers player props.
