The set-up: This is a big game for both division rivals. The Ravens are 2-2 and the Steelers are 1-3. Baltimore enters off a loss to the Browns, while the Steelers enter off a 27-3 home win over the Bengals. I think that Baltimore is the much more focused side today though after losing two straight, while everything points to an immediate return to mediocrity for the Steelers in my opinion.

The pick: Pittsburgh QB Mason Rudolph did enough to earn the win vs. the lowly Bengals last week and RB James Conner also had a big night statistically, but previous to that each had struggled up to that point. And now they face a veteran Ravens defense which is playing with a chip on its shoulder. Note that Pitts is just 2-7-1 ATS in its last ten Sunday following a MNF contest, while Baltimore is a sharp 4-1 ATS in its last five on the road. Lay the points.

8* EARLY DESTRUCTION on the Baltimore Ravens.
