NFL Week 9 Predictions: Best Picks Against the Spread

Baltimore Ravens


Opponent: vs. Pittsburgh Steelers


Line: BAL (-2.5)


The popular bet here will be the Steelers getting points, especially with Ben Roethlisberger (knee) looking like a good bet to be under center. But consider this: With Big Ben at QB, the Steelers haven't won in Baltimore since 2010, losing by an average of 13.25 points. In his last four games there, he has completed 61.5 percent of his throws for 243.5 yards per game, 6.2 yards per attempt and a 3:6 TD:INT ratio, and with the Ravens sixth in the NFL in yards per play allowed and sixth in Football Outsiders' defensive efficiency rankings, things aren't likely to get much easier for Roethlisberger and Co.
