Steelers And Ravens AFC North Battle Predicted After Week 9

Week 13 isn’t as fortunate for the Steelers, who will be hosting the Buffalo Bills. The Pittsburgh defense has fallen off a cliff after an elite 2024-25 season and ranks well below the Bills. The offenses are also incomparable; this loss drops the home team to 7-5. Steelers And Ravens Week 14 The Steelers will be on the road to challenge the Ravens in Week 14. It’s an important game, not just because it’s in the division, but more specifically, for tie-breakers at the end of the year. The defenses on both sides are equally pugent, but Baltimore’s elite offense gives them a huge advantage over Pittsburgh’s mediocre one. This important swing-game improves the home team to 8-5, and their opponent drops to 7-6. Steelers And Ravens Week 15 The Ravens are on the road against the Bengals in Week 15. There’s no reason to rush Burrow back this season, and even if they were still in the hunt, it’d be unlikely to see him by this point. Baltimore should keep the winning streak alive and improve to 9-5. The Steelers will look forward to hosting the Miami Dolphins after a haul of stiff competition in Week 15. The Dolphins are falling apart and are overdue for an overhaul. Pittsburgh should improve to 8-6. Steelers And Ravens Week 16 The New England Patriots will be in Baltimore for Week 16. The Patriots will present the toughest competition for the Ravens in weeks. The defensive edge easily belongs to New England, while the offensive matchup requires more projection. Baltimore currently ranks lower on the season, but is certainly the better team with Jackson at the helm. It’s a stiff test, but they would improve to 10-5. The Steelers’ tougher schedule continues in Week 16, when they go on the road to face the Detroit Lions. It’s a matchup nightmare for Pittsburgh, going up against a top-ten offense and defense. This loss puts them at 8-7. Steelers And Ravens Week 17 The Ravens’ winning streak has to come to an end at some point, and their trip to challenge the Green Bay Packers in Week 17 raises those concerns. This marks the first playoff team of yesteryear since Week Ten. The top-ten offense and defense will be matchup hell for Baltimore, who would then drop to 10-6.
