It’s been a depressing season for the Ravens and their backers as the team is a miserable 4-10 SU and 3-9-2 ATS, and things are about to get much worse when their hated division rival, the Pittsburgh Steelers, come to town on Sunday.
- The Steelers are 1-5-1 ATS in their last seven games as favorites against the Ravens in December.
- BAL is 4-14 SU & 3-14-1 ATS in their last 18 games after winning the previous game in a matchup.
- Steelers receiver Antonio Brown has eight 100+ yard receiving games this season.
Ben Roethlisberger and the Steelers have played elite level football in their last 10 December games, going 10-0 SU and 9-0-1 ATS. They’ve been on a serious roll this December with three straight wins, scoring a total of 112 points in those games. So far this month, they’ve gone 2-0-1 ATS.
The Ravens, meanwhile, have lost three straight, including two straight at home where they allowed a total of 69 points. They still haven’t been able to cover a spread at home, posting a 0-6-1 home ATS record, and going back to last season, they’re 0-9-1 ATS in their last 10 home games.
It should come as no surprise that the Steelers are trending OVER, going above the total in four straight games. The total has gone OVER three of the last four times these teams have played in Baltimore.
