The Steelers have the daunting task of stopping the Ravens this week, and here are four bold predictions for their week 13 matchup.
The Steelers are coming off of one of their worst overall performances in a long time, and the hope this is the week that the team can rebound. While the Ravens are a good team, they are certainly beatable. That said, this team has to prove that they can play better than how they did against the Bengals.
Here are four bold predictions for the Steelers vs. the Ravens this week.
Steelers look better but still aren’t all the way there
Week 12 was an abysmal one for the team against the Bengals, and the Steelers have to find some sort of way to rebound this week. While the Ravens poise a tough task, this team can’t play anywhere close to how they did last week. There is little reason to expect a huge turnaround, but I think the team comes out and plays better than expected.
The offense ought to come out more balanced in recent weeks and despite the team’s defensive struggles, they have regularly found creative ways to limit this running-heavy Raven’s scheme. While the Steelers’ woes will still be on display, it seems likely the team comes out better than they did last week.
All in all, the offense finds a way to move the ball more while the defense limits the Ravens’ offense. While the performance is better than it was in week 12, it still isn’t enough to get the win and the team falls to a losing record for the second time this season. The game provides some assurance moving forward even though the team falls short of the win.
