4 bold predictions for the Steelers in Week 18 vs the Ravens

Steelers Watt actually breaks the sack record
Much has been said about T.J. Watt in recent weeks and how deserving he is of the defensive player of the year (news flash, he is and it isn’t close). Some even come out to critique his potential record-breaking sack production, pointing to the 17-game schedule as the reason for this. With all of this manifested doubt springing up, I think Watt goes out and has a big game.
He recorded 3.5 sacks in their previous outing, and I think he goes for another three this week. That will give him the lead over Michael Strahan by two sacks and should silence any of the doubters about his ability. Watt has been impressive all season, even finding ways to produce when he has been injured. Despite groin and rib injuries, Watt is still on pace to break the sack record.
Ideally, another big game like this silences any doubters he has and lands him the defensive player of the year award. There is no one else that deserves it more than he does at this point. Watt has had an incredible year and is already outplaying the mega-contract he signed in the offseason. He deserves one final big game to claim the sack title and win his first defensive player of the year award.
