The Ravens and Steelers will meet on Sunday in an AFC North showcase on CBS and Paramount+. The Ravens are 3-1 and coming off a 28-3 win over the Browns. The Steelers dropped to 2-2 following a 30-6 loss to the Texans last week. But any time the Ravens and Steelers meet, previous results from that season don't seem to carry much weight. The Steelers have won seven of their last 11 meetings, but those matchups have been decided by an average of 5.4 points. Each of their last four head-to-head contests has been decided by three points or fewer. Lamar Jackson, who had four touchdowns last week, has only played in one of those four games due to injuries.

Week 5 NFL picks for Ravens vs. Steelers

Before tuning into Sunday's Steelers vs. Ravens game, you need to see the NFL picks from SportsLine's advanced computer model. The model, which simulates every NFL game 10,000 times, is well up over $7,000 for $100 players on top-rated NFL picks since its inception. The model enters Week 5 of the 2023 NFL season on an incredible 168-118 run on top-rated NFL picks that dates back to the 2017 season. It is also on a 22-10 roll on top-rated NFL picks since Week 7 of last season.

The model also ranked in the top 10 on NFLPickWatch four of the past six years on straight-up NFL picks and beat more than 94% of CBS Sports Football Pick'em players four times during that span. Anyone who has followed it is way up.

For Steelers vs. Ravens, the model is going Over 38.5 total points. This is the lowest over/under on the Week 5 NFL schedule and much of that has to do with each team's reputation. Their last five matchups have averaged 32 total points, but one key piece was missing in the majority of those games: Lamar Jackson. He has only played in one of their last five meetings due to injuries and in his three starts against the Steelers, the average point total has been 46.7 points.

The 2019 NFL MVP has at least two total touchdowns in three of four games this season, leading the Ravens to an average of 24.8 points per game this year. Conversely, the Steelers have allowed 30 points twice this season and have surrendered 25 points per game, the 10th-most in the NFL. Pittsburgh has allowed the third-most yards per game (403), including the fourth-most rushing yards (148.5 yards). The Ravens are averaging the fourth-most rushing yards per game (151.3), which could lead to long runs and fast scoring plays in this contest, leading the model to like the over. You may be able to stream the game here.
