Ravens vs. Steelers Free Sports Picks

Matt Rivers was the winningest sports handicapper ever on a large network of handicapping sites before being promoted to The Show at OffshoreInsiders.com. He has a free winner on the Ravens vs. Steelers.

Today he has a free winner at BetUs Sportsbook going with the Steelers at home laying three.
 
Ben Roethlisberger and the Steelers staved off playoff elimination with that unreal last second, literally, comeback win last week against the red hot Packers. Now the Steelers are at home once again and face a familiar foe in the Baltimore Ravens.
 
Just about a month ago Mike Tomlin's squad went into
Baltimore without their quarterback and took Ray Lewis and the Ravens to overtime as the 8 point dog. Dennis Dixon did an admirable job but when the chips were down the third stringer threw a poor interception in the extra session and that was it in the end.
 
Pittsburgh should once again be without their key defensive cog in Troy Polamalu which isn't great but Ed Reed is banged up for them and may not play either.
 
In the end we are looking at an extremely physical game like usual for these teams and with their season once again on the line I can't help but back the world champs at Heinz Field. Both Hines Ward and Santonio Holmes are winners who will not go down without a fight and no matter how bad the defense has regressed at times this is still the Steelers defense.
 
When you put winners up against a wall more times than not they come through. Sure the games against the Raiders and Browns were inexplicably horrific but Pittsburgh showed their mettle last week and has no choice but to show up today and flex their muscles one more time.
 
I do like Ray Rice and Joe Flacco and the visiting Ravens as they are a semi elite team that happened to lose a lot of close games to quality competition this season but I don't see them sweeping the season series and dropping the Steelers to an unfathomable 1-5 in the division for the season.
 
It'll be a brutal smash mouth game for sure and in the end the Steelers will do enough to pull this thing out and save their season one more week.
 
Matt Rivers sports pick: 23-17 Steelers
