We receive a two-game Saturday slate to start the final week of the regular season. All four teams involved are in the playoff conversion, so let’s start with the first of the two games.
Steelers at Ravens
The 13-3 Baltimore Ravens (+3)
host the 9-7 Pittsburgh Steelers (-3), who desperately need a win to make the playoffs in a competitive AFC. To the benefit of the Steelers, their rival Ravens clinched the number one seed in the AFC, and are resting odds-on favorite for MVP, Lamar Jackson, among others.
If the season ended in Week 17, the Steelers would have finished two spots outside of the playoffs as ninth in the conference.
