It’s expected to be 20 degrees and snowing for the AFC title match between the Baltimore Ravens (13-5 SU, 14-4 ATS) and the Pittsburgh Steelers (13-4 SU, 10-7 ATS). When these same teams met in Week 15 in Baltimore, there were 43 seconds left on the clock when the Steelers (+3) finally scored a touchdown in a 13-9 victory.

“It was physical, low-scoring – just like everyone thought it was going to be,” Steelers QB Ben Roethlisberger told the Associated Press after the game.

The same expectations hold true for the Conference Round; a total of 34 has been posted, with Pittsburgh as a 6-point home chalk (-105). I like the Ravens to at least cover this matchup, as they did in Week 4’s 23-20 overtime loss at Heinz Field getting the same six points.
