Here they go again, with the AFC North championship on the line. The winner nabs the No. 4 seed in the AFC playoffs. After a 1-5 start, Baltimore is on a 7-3 SU, 5-5 ATS run after a 41-24 win at Green Bay as an underdog. They're 5-2 SU/4-3 ATS on the road. QB Lamar Jackson (18 TDs, 6 INTs) and RB Derrick Henry (1,469 yards, 5.1 ypc) lead a ground game that is No. 1 in the NFL in yards (157.8 per game) and in yards per carry (5.3). The defense is ninth on third down (36.45%). Pittsburgh could have clinched last week, but flopped in a 13-6 loss to the Browns. Top wide receiver D.K. Metcalf (850 yards, 14.4 yards per catch) is still out, serving the second game of a two-game suspension. He had seven catches for 142 yards in Week 14 against Baltimore. The offense is 26th in total yards, while the defense is 25th on third down (41.96%) and 27th in yards allowed. Play Baltimore.
