NFL Teams on Upset Alert in Week 9
By Pete Schauer
Baltimore Ravens (-1.0) at Pittsburgh Steelers
Coming off a record setting day last weekend, Ben Roethlisberger and the Pittsburgh Steelers are in a position to really turn their season around against the Baltimore Ravens at home on Sunday night.
The Steelers are riding two straight wins against quality teams–the Houston Texans and Indianapolis Colts–and enter this matchup with the second-best total offense in the NFL.
That explosive offense was certainly on display against the Colts last Sunday, as Roethlisberger threw for 522 yards and six TDs while Le’Veon Bell racked up 148 total yards.
Baltimore, on the other hand, is coming off a tough loss to the Cincinnati Bengals in which Joe Flacco struggled, throwing two interceptions and completing just 50% of his passes.
The Ravens manhandled Pittsburgh in Week 2 by a score of 26-6, but that was before Roethlisberger got the offense rolling and the Steelers’ defense began to turn it up.
I like the Steelers at home, where they’re 3-1 this season.
