Per ESPN's Match-Up Predictor, the Ravens are a 60.6% favorite to win. 

The Ravens are 7-3

The Steelers are 6-2 currently, trailing the Commanders 27-21 with 6 minutes left.

Steelers took the lead in DC with new acquisition Mike Williams scoring a td.
Pittsburgh had a huge amount of fans in DC, and have just come up with a 4th down stop, and have the ball with 1:12 left, leading 28-27.

Highsmith just left the game with a rolled ankle. Had to be helped off the field. Would be nice to not have to face him next week.

[BSLChrisStoner]

Washington forced a 4th and 1 for the Steelers with 1:02 left... but jump, and gives Pittsburg the 1st, and the game.

Steelers improve to 7-2.

[BaltBird 24]

No luckier team over the last 4-6 years in football than Pittsburgh.

Tomlin is a much better game coach than Harbaugh. His teams still compete and win a lot with the likes of Rudolph, Pickett, now flawed Fields and washed up Wilson. John loses at like a 70% clip without a healthy true top tier QB.

Harbaugh has a much better roster. Talent says Ravens by 13. Game management is a different story.

Tomlin is a good coach but LOLZ. Haters gonna hate

Tomlin's Steelers haven't won a playoff game since Flacco, Terrence West, Mike Wallace/ Steve Smith Sr, and Pitta were our offense. 2016. Four playoff appearances since, four 1 and done.

Imagine this place if Harbaugh had that track record.

[BaltBird 24]

And that's not tooting Harbaugh's horn. I think he's a suspect game day head coach.

I think he and Tomlin a similar in that regard - two guys who are great Monday through Saturday, but not much of a factor on GameDay. And in organizations with generally good rosters.

Of course and I know Tomlin has haters in Pittsburgh. Just par for the course when it comes to any fanbase. Even the teams with HOF coaches.

How would you like to be Mike McCarthy tonight?

[TwentyThirtyFive]

At this point, I think Jerry is just trying to get the best draft pick possible

Only so much you can do when your starting QB is out for the year and you're relying on Cooper Rush / Trey Lance.

Jerry hung onto Jason Garrett for 9 years when it was obvious he wasn't taking Dallas anywhere. I can't imagine he'll bounce McCarthy after 3 straight 12-5 seasons.

I think Tomlin is viewed in Pittsburgh identical to how Harbaugh is viewed here in Baltimore. They're basically the same guy.

I think Tomlin is a slightly better GameDay coach and a slightly worse monday-saturday coach.

Tomlin seems to let character issues and personality clashes fester a little bit in a way that Harbaugh absolutely would not. Obviously he gets results most of the time but it also makes his teams a bit more volatile.

Tomlin's a good coach but what was up with the fake punt early in the game?  Pittsburgh gave Washington an easy TD and Washington still lost the game.

 

The Steelers know how to win.  Game on Sunday will be interesting.  Ravens should win because they have the more talented roster.  But their pass defense could make Wilson look like the Wilson of old.  Steelers always have been good at containing Lamar.  

 

If I'm Tomlin and the OC I'm throwing the ball 2/3 of the time.  The Ravens secondary is bad and the DC has no clue how to fix it.  Even with the defense Pittsburgh has they still probably give up 30 to the Ravens.  But the Ravens defense can easily give up 30 as well.  

 

I think it will be a fun game.  Raven's are clearly better, but their horrible pass D levels the playing field against anyone.  

[85Knight]

I would have this game as a tossup. The Ravens win only if Lamar is Superman but he's never really played that way against the Steelers. The extra rest is a big factor with the Steelers playing a tough game against Washington yesterday. I think Hamilton plays at less than 100 percent but the Steelers still come in a little more banged up.

I expect another high scoring game with Wilson torching our secondary with the deep ball. If the Ravens offense continues their domination of the league they should be able to pull out a close one in what could be an instant classic in this rivalry. I'll call this one 31-30 Ravens. Lamar finally shows out against the Steelers but the defensive woes continue.

[ivanbalt]

Note to Harbaugh: this game will be close.  They are always close.  Take the points when you can.  Don't waste timeouts.

[NewMarketSean]

Don't take Pittsburgh lightly. They're a good team and they always give us fits. Wouldn't be surprised to see us lose 23-20.
