That game is the most intriguing game to me. Tyler Huntley and Harbaugh would love to keep Pittsburgh out of the playoffs. The line (3.5) is very small considering Baltimore has nothing to play for and Pittsburgh has everything to play for. Easy play would be Pittsburgh, but I don't think its that easy.
Yap. I would lean on the Steelers in this match.

Steelers need help if they win, but definitely eliminated if they lose. I think 3 other teams have to lose for the Steelers to get in if they win. So they will have to scoreboard watch on Sunday.
But let's discuss the Ravens' perspective here. A team with superior coaching staff. A team who, winning at home, will steal Steeler's thunder and definitely remove them from the Super Bowl contention this season... on Saturday.

Isn't that motivation? I'll think more about this but seems like a coinflip game.

Ravens could beat Pittsburgh with backups if Pickett were playing. Ravens could make Pittsburgh earn it. Now in my capping for this game, I know how seriously that the Ravens take preseason games so I know they won't mail it in. So I am on Ravens and the points only for that reason and Pittsburgh has losses to NE and ARI while healthy.

These may or may not have much of an impact on the games themselves but may be interesting on the props side of things etc.


Tyreek Hill needs 248 Yards for the record.

Clowney needs 0.5 sacks for a 750k bonus

Devin Singletary needs 74 total yards for added 125K

Jordan Love gets a 500k bonus if the Packers win and make the playoffs

Beckham Jr needs 5 catches to get a 250k bonus and 2 TDs for an additional 500k

Per Sean McVay: The Rams will rest Matthew Stafford, Cooper Kupp, Kyren Williams, Aaron Donald and Ernest Jones, all healthy, in anticipation of the postseason.

Tyler Higbee (shoulder) and Joe Noteboom (foot) will miss Sunday's game due to injuries.

all play to win
Are you playing to win if you don’t play your best players? Would you be trying to win a race that you trained for, if you sent someone worse/slower than you to take your place in the race? Its the same concept. You want to win, but you are not doing your best to win through your actions.
