Lorenzo Reyes: Ravens 22, Steelers 20
Of course, this will all depend on the availability of Lamar Jackson, but it may not be a bad move to wait until Jackson’s official designation is announced. In any case, the Steelers have won four of five and have covered four of five, so I think Pittsburgh keeps this one close. In that case, waiting for the line to jump if Jackson is announced as the starter could offer a little more cushion.
Safid Deen: Steelers 23, Ravens 20
It feels like the passing of Steelers great Franco Harris gives Pittsburgh a little more to play for in this final stretch. Baltimore has a playoff seed already locked up, but won’t be able to hang onto the highest wildcard seed or keep pace with the Bengals in the AFC North.
Richard Morin: Steelers 24, Ravens 24
Baltimore knows it will be playing postseason football this year, but it's the Steelers with something to play for here. Mike Tomlin will do everything in his power to ensure Pittsburgh doesn't finish with a losing record. This one ends in a tie.
Jarrett Bell: Ravens 23, Steelers 19
Nate Davis: Steelers 19, Ravens 16
Tyler Dragon: Ravens 20, Steelers 16
