The opening line on the game was at +5.5 after the schedule was announced in May. Based on how the season was playing out, the line has moved to be a closer matchup, but has fluctuated from +3 to +6 over the past two days.

So a $20 bet placed on the Steelers over the Ravens would have a payout of $52 ($32 plus the original $20 bet). The Ravens also have a current moneyline of -190, or 10/19 odds. Therefore the same $20 bet placed on Baltimore to win straight up would have a payout of $30.53 ($10.53 plus the original $20 bet).

The Steelers are 4-1 against the spread in their last 5 games played and are 4-2 against the spread in their last 6 games on the road. The Steelers also have gone UNDER in 3 of their last 4 games and have gone UNDER in 6 of their last 8 games on the road in Baltimore.

If looking at the futures bets at DraftKings Sportsbook, the Steelers odds to win the Super Bowl are at 400/1 after Week 16. The Steelers odds to win the AFC Championship are 300/1 odds. As for winning the AFC North, the Steelers and Browns have both officially been eliminated in the race for the division with the Bengals at 4/9 and the Ravens as the favorite at 7/4 odds.
