Expect the Ravens to throw at least 40 times

Surprisingly, the Ravens average 304 passing yards per game on 43 attempts. QB Joe Flacco, has thrown for almost 900 yards and 6 TDs. While completing 64% of his passes.

Conversely, the Steelers defense has demonstrated they can’t stop anyone. Giving up an average of 288 passing yards per game and a staggering 10 TDs through three games. Opposing QBs are completing 58% of their passes.

Making matter worse,  7 of the 8 passing TDs allowed by the Steelers secondary have been inside the red zone. With such abysmal performances, expect the Ravens to throw early and often.
