The Classic Wednesday Afternoon Lock
Ravens @ Steelers (-10.5): O/U 42
ATS: Ravens: 4–5–1, Steelers: 8–2
O/U: Ravens: 4–6, Steelers: 5–4–1
Is this game ever going to actually be played? I have no clue what to think here. I think the whole world can agree that this was the game everyone was looking forward to watching on Thanksgiving night, only to now be the game that everyone just wants to be over with. That being said, it’s still Ravens-Steelers and still a game with important playoff implications for both teams.
I’m taking the Ravens getting 10.5 points here. I know Lamar is out. I know a ton of other starters and important players are out for them. But this is Ravens-Steelers. Not only is my respect for the rivalry impacting this pick, but the uniqueness of the situation is weighing heavy on it. Who stayed the most focused? Who is going to be the most prepared? Who let all the distractions and craziness get into their heads? I don’t know those answers. But I do know 10.5 points is a lot for a team desperately trying to stay alive in the AFC Wild Card race against their biggest rival. Wednesday afternoon football — classic 2020.
