The Ravens also had 217 yards on the ground in Week 14 versus Pittsburgh, so it has shown it can exploit the Steelers in that regard, and the latter already struggles in defending through the air as Pittsburgh ranks 29th in pass defense. Additionally, Baltimore held Pittsburgh to a season-low of 34 rushing yards in that earlier contest, while the Steelers failed to find the endzone without Metcalf on Sunday. Thus, there are multiple areas where Baltimore should excel over Pittsburgh, and one can&#8217;t overlook that the Ravens are 4-1 ATS over their last five road games.\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.sportsline.com\/insiders\/steelers-vs-ravens-prediction-line-odds-proven-model-releases-spread-pick-for-2026-nfl-week-18-matchup-on-sunday-night-football\/#ttag=12292025_agg_cbssports_picks_football_nfl_model_SteelersRavensSNF\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">See which team to back at SportsLine<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Why the Steelers can cover<\/p>\n<p>Pittsburgh has confidence in that it just beat the Ravens, in Baltimore, a month ago, and <a class=\"Annotation-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.cbssports.com\/nfl\/players\/419780\/aaron-rodgers\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Aaron Rodgers<\/a> has experienced nothing but success versus the Ravens.
