Baltimore Ravens vs Pittsburgh Steelers
The Ravens have emerged as favourites to win the Super Bowl following a sensational run of six consecutive wins. The last two games have seen them dispatch of the impressive San Francisco 49ers in Sata Clara, before hammering the Miami Dolphins 59-16 on home soil. Lamar Jackson in on track to be named MVP, and we don’t see them slowing down this weekend.
After three straight defeats, the Steelers have got their season back on track with successive wins over Cincinnati and Seattle. They are now 9-7 as they prepare to head to Baltimore. They may have been victorious on their past three visits to the Ravens but this is a much improved Baltimore we’re looking at. They have handily beaten much stronger teams on paper at M&T Bank Stadium. They should continue their fine form and get the job done.
Baltimore Ravens -3.5 @ 3.70
Carolina Panthers vs Tampa Bay Buccaneers
The 2-14 Carolina Panthers are playing for pride at this point. It was a shutout in Jacksonville last weekend where they were on the end of a 26-0 defeat. That loss marked a sixth game this season that Carolina have scored 10 points or less. Both their victories this season have come at home. However, they face another tricky test in the visiting Tampa.
The Buccs’ four-match winning streak came to an abrupt end last time out as they lost 23-13 to the Saints in a crucial NFC South clash. They head to Carolina in the knowledge that victory is a must if they are to secure their spot in the playoffs. They boast a strong record against the Panthers, winning six of the last seven meetings, all of which have been won by 3+ points. There is a lot on the line for Tampa Bay and they will need to throw everything at Carolina.
Tampa Bay Buccaneers -2.5 @ 1.50
Washington Commanders vs Dallas Cowboys
In perhaps the biggest mismatch of the week, 11-5 Dallas travel to Washington to take on the 4-12 Commanders. After back-to-back defeats against Buffalo and Miami, the Cowboys bounced back with a victory on matchday 17 against the Detroit Lions.
In contrast, it’s bee the same old for Washington. Their four victories came in their opening nine games and they haven’t won since. Seven straight defeats is likely to become eight when Dallas roll into town. The question is: by how many? They were beaten by 17 last time out against the 49ers and we could see a similar scoreline here.
Dallas Cowboys -13.5 @ 2.02
