Pittsburgh Steelers (+2) over Baltimore Ravens

Baltimore has had Pittsburgh’s number in recent years, but when you’re giving me points at home in a battle of ultimate rivals, I’ll take them.

Both teams are 5-3 at this point, but you would never know it from “public” perception. The Steelers have had quite a few positive performances (including last week against Indy), but their lows have been quite low, and that leaves Baltimore as the established favorite. That is all well and good, but even if Baltimore is “the better team” in this spot, they would need to be 5 points better on a neutral field to justify this line.

They aren’t.
