AFC North bragging rights will be on the line in Week 11 betting action when the Baltimore Ravens and Pittsburgh Steelers collide in the first of two scheduled meetings. Each side will be looking to build upon multiple game win streaks adding to the intrigue of this pivotal matchup. John Harbaugh’s troops came out winners of two straight after escaping the Cincinnati Bengals 35-34, while the Steelers rattled off a fourth straight win against the NFL odds after stealing a 28-27 win from the Commanders with Mike Tomlin looking on. Current PROLINE+ action reports find NFL bettors leaning to the home dogged Steelers with Pittsburgh aligned with nearly 70 percent of the money. Even so, the 3.5-point opener remains with heavier juice attached to the Steelers. Total bettors are expecting points to dent the scoreboard as well with the Over/Under up to 49.5 from the 44.5-point opener and 60 percent of the handle in support of the drastic market correction.
Reduced juice betting is one of the best ways for any sports bettor to save money and far too many people don’t take advantage of it. If you are not playing at a sportsbook that offers reduced juice betting then you are simply giving away money.
Baltimore Ravens vs. Pittsburgh Steelers NFL Same Game Parlay:
The Ravens invade the Steel City with the offense firing on all cylinders. While it took a minute for Lamar Jackson and Co. to find their bearings last week at home against the ‘Natti, the unit went into hyper drive in the fourth quarter when LJ went HAM throwing three of his four touchdown passes with a bulk of his 290 passing yards also coming in the final 15 minutes. While Derrick Henry was largely held in check, the Ravens had no issues denting the board with another 35 points. His pass catchers allowed it to happen, and it’ll need to bring its “A” for a full four quarters as tough a brand of defense Pittsburgh has brought to the table to date. That being said, the Steelers have a penchant for being beaten through the air with it allowing north of 215 yards per game (#19). Zay Flowers, Rashod Bateman, and newcomer Diontae Johnson will be called upon early and often to make hay. Let it be known however, Jackson failed to impress in his lone showing against Pittsburgh last season in completing 22 of 38 passes for 236 scoreless yards with an interception thrown.
Tomlin received a ton of guff from the talking heads after making the decision to bench Justin Fields in favor of Russell Wilson with the veteran deemed healthy enough to return to the huddle. I wonder what those pundits have to say now that the Steelers have ripped off three straight wins and NFL betting line covers against the Jets, Giants, and Commanders to maintain its placement atop the AFC North standings. Wilson has been nothing short of fantastic in playing to a 105.9 QB rating throwing for 737 yards and 6:1 TD/INT ratio while building a solid rapport with George Pickens. The third year wide receiver has gone for 276 receiving yards and 2 TD since Russ started cooking in Week 7, and he figures to be a major issue for a susceptible Ravens pass defense that’s been shredded for a league-worst 295 passing yards per game while serving up a mindboggling 2.2 passing touchdowns every week. With Baltimore’s run D (#1) coming in at the complete opposite end of the spectrum, Pittsburgh’s rejuvenated pass attack is likely to get a ton of burn in this one.
Nothing about this matchup leads me to believe PROLINE+ should have the Ravens favored to win this game. Along with the Steelers marching out the better balanced overall team, it’s also dominated the recent rivalry between these hated division rivals. Pittsburgh busted out the brooms a season ago to move to a moneymaking 7-3 straight up and 6-3-1 against the spread in the last 10 overall meetings, and it’s won outright each of the last two times it hosted the Ravens. While I get the love for a high scorer playing out with Baltimore cashing over tickets at a 9-1 clip due to its leaky pass defense, I don’t believe Tomlin wants to get into any kind of shootout with Baltimore knowing full well what LJ and Co. are capable of in that type of game environment. The highest total in the last 10 meetings between these teams closed at 44.5, with the under cashing in seven times. I’ll need to see them light the scoreboard up against each other before I buy in—take the under and pair it with a moneyline position on the home team in your Week 11 same-game parlay.
- PITTSBURGH STEELERS +145
- BALTIMORE/PITTSBURGH UNDER 49.5
