Flacco and Ravens meet Big Ben and Steelers NFL Picks, Predictions & Betting Odds

When the Steelers and Ravens meet in this NFL Predictions battle you can expect a hard-hitting, tough, physical and tight game. NFL Betting Odds Pittsburgh is favored by -3 points and that spread Spread is fitting since both games were settled by three points.

Here are some key match-ups to watch:

Heap vs. Polamalu

Tight end Todd Heap was a difference maker against the Chiefs last week with 10 catches for over 100 yards and he’ll most likely draw the coverage of safety Troy Polamalu. Polamalu has been a difference maker all season, and he is the main reason why the Steelers are hosting the Ravens after his sack and strip of quarterback Joe Flacco. Polamalu likes to jump routes and sneak in on running plays but Heap is a prime target for Flacco so the battle will be worth watching.

Flacco vs. Harrison

Flacco is quickly emerging as a young stud at quarterback and he had a field day last week against KC. Flacco, though, has lost six fumbles on the season, including one last week, and OLB James Harrison loves to cause havoc in the back field. How Flacco protects the ball will be a big key.

Roethlisberger vs. Suggs

Ben Roethlisberger was beaten, broken, and bruised against the Ravens during their last meeting but a lasting image is of Big Ben stiff-arming OLB Terrell Suggs on his way out of escaping a sack. If Ben can get some time, he can exploit the Raven’s secondary, if Suggs is not in his face, or putting him on the ground. NFL Playoffs Predictions & NFL Picks Bet on the home team Baltimore Ravens.
