Ravens vs. Steelers Prediction

I’m on the Steelers here. I get why you’d look the Ravens way as they have the best offense in the NFL, but the Steelers just took down the Commanders and have looked like a different team with Russell Wilson leading the way, which is scary because Pittsburgh wasn’t bad with Fields under center. I think Pittsburgh has a good shot at winning this one outright. Give me the Steelers.
