Ravens vs Steelers: 3 Player Prop Predictions and Best Bet for Sunday Night Football

Ravens vs Steelers 3 Player Prop Predictions and Best Bet

After 17 games, the playoff fates for the Baltimore Ravens (8-8) and Pittsburgh Steelers come down to a showdown in Pennsylvania on Sunday night, with the game’s winner advancing as the AFC North’s representative.

Baltimore backed into this position. After turning their season around with a five-game winning streak in November, the Ravens have lost three of their last five games. A 41-24 victory over the Packers, as Green Bay rested starter Jordan Love, allowed the Ravens to be in this position.

And luck from an unexpected source. Pittsburgh would have wrapped up a return trip to the playoffs had the Steelers defeated the lowly Cleveland Browns last week. However, Cleveland pulled off a 13-6 upset at home, forcing the Steelers into a win-and-you ’re-in situation.

Will the Ravens or Steelers claim the AFC’s final playoff spot in Sunday’s primetime game? We’ll cover that and provide bettors with our top three player props for this AFC North rematch.

Live player props data coming soon for Aaron Rodgers.

Pittsburgh Steelers QB Aaron Rodgers OVER 200.5 Passing Yards

For nearly two decades, the NFL has featured Aaron Rodgers as a starting quarterback. This year, he joined the Steelers with aspirations of making one more postseason run.

In these two teams’ first matchup – a 27-22 victory for the Steelers – Rodgers had arguably his best game. The 42-year-old completed 23 of his 34 pass attempts for 284 yards, one touchdown, and no interceptions.

The Steelers need him to perform at that level to have a fighting chance in this game. Expect Pittsburgh to air the football early and often, allowing Rodgers to determine their playoff fate. Bettors should take the over on his passing prop total for Sunday.


Live player props data coming soon for Lamar Jackson.

Baltimore Ravens QB Lamar Jackson OVER 25.5 Rushing Yards

Baltimore will look back at this season and wonder what might have been had quarterback Lamar Jackson not suffered an injury that sidelined him for most of October. Still, the mobile quarterback has played in 12 games to date, completing 63 percent of his passes for 2,311 yards, 18 touchdowns, and six picks.

He’s even more dangerous on the ground. This year, he’s logged only 340 rushing yards on 63 carries as he has played more from the pocket. Don’t expect that to be the case against Pittsburgh with the Ravens’ postseason aspirations on the line.

Bettors should expect to see Jackson looking to be more involved in the running game. In their earlier matchup, the signal-caller called his own number seven times, turning in 43 yards against the Steelers. He’ll have another big night on Sunday, covering his rushing prop total.


Live player props data coming soon for Derrick Henry.

Baltimore Ravens RB Derrick Henry OVER 0.5 Receiving Yards

Sunday will be a special day for Baltimore Ravens running back Derrick Henry. The veteran will turn 32 on January 4th as he wraps up his 10th year in the NFL. Despite being one of the older players at his position, he’s been dominant again in 2025. Currently, Henry has 287 carries for 1,469 yards and 16 touchdowns on the ground for the Ravens.

Don’t bet Henry for his running prowess in this game, however. In 15 of the Steelers’ 16 games to date, opposing running backs have finished with at least 10 receiving yards. Henry accomplished that earlier this year in these teams’ first matchup. Take the star running back to finish with at least one receiving yard to cover this receiving prop total.

Best Bet: Pittsburgh (+3.5)

It’s somewhat shocking that the Ravens have been installed as 3.5-point favorites in this road contest. The Steelers have won four of the past five games between these two franchises inside Acrisure Stadium.

Certainly, not having D.K. Metcalf will hurt Pittsburgh’s offense. Still, offensive coordinator Arthur Smith has a week to prepare for this game, allowing him to draw up a strong passing plan that targets Baltimore’s weaknesses. Expect the Steelers to pull this one out, moving on to the postseason the following week.
