Wednesday Night Football? That's not a typo, that's just 2020.
This is not going to be the same matchup we expected Thanksgiving night, due to over a dozen positive COVID-19 tests in the Ravens' locker room. Sadly, you may not be able to watch because it kicks off around 3 p.m. on a Wednesday. However, Pointsbet's lines and props are going to make it worth it.
The common denominator in every wager you place Wednesday afternoon is that MVP Lamar Jackson not playing. Instead, it will be former Heisman winner Robert Griffin III. It's vital to your wallet to keep that in mind.
This is another intriguing bet. The reason being is because no one has seen him play in a meaningful game in over a year! Can he still move? Will Ravens' Head Coach John Harbaugh run similar plays that he runs with Jackson?
Personally, it all depends on if J.K. Dobbins and Mark Ingram play. I am going to keep my eye on that storyline because if they sit out I would bet on this 10/10 times. As it stands, it's looking like they will both play.
The Ravens run the ball more, or as much as any team in the league. If I place money on this, it's going to be $50 to win $100.
Special Promos For Steelers vs. Ravens
As part of their special booster odds promotion, Pointsbet is giving out unique odds on two separate bets.
Big Ben and RGIII Combine for 4+ TD's (-130)
PointsBet has allowed all users to put more money in their pockets while continuing to risk the same amount. Originally, the odds were set at (-170). Now, if you wager $100 your payout is $176. Earlier this year, Big Ben and the Steelers put up 28 total points on the Ravens defense. Rothlisberger threw two touchdowns, while Lamar Jackson threw two. With Lamar not playing Wednesday, this is a risky play. Personally, I am going to bet $20 to win $35 here. The Steelers Offense is rolling and throwing the ball much more as of late, but RGIII hasn't started a game in over a year.
Robert Griffin III To Rush For 30+ Yards (+100)
This is another intriguing bet. The reason being is because no one has seen him play in a meaningful game in over a year! Can he still move? Will Ravens' Head Coach John Harbaugh run similar plays that he runs with Jackson?
Personally, it all depends on if J.K. Dobbins and Mark Ingram play. I am going to keep my eye on that storyline because if they sit out I would bet on this 10/10 times. As it stands, it's looking like they will both play.
The Ravens run the ball more, or as much as any team in the league. If I place money on this, it's going to be $50 to win $100.
Best Bets For Steelers vs. Ravens
1) Steelers To Cover And Win Outright
The Steelers are 10.5 point favorites against Baltimore at (-115) odds. Without Lamar Jackson, this is a good play. The Ravens have been struggling offensively as of late, so this is a good play. For me, I am taking these odds and taking Pittsburgh on the money line (-551)2) Benny Snell Jr. 50+ Rushing Yards (-200)
James Connor is on the COVID list and isn't playing. Benny Snell will be the bell-cow back for Pittsburgh and that means you'll want to bet on his success. Snell over 50 yards is valued at (-200) and over 75 yards is valued at (+120). The Ravens have a great run defense, but I am still taking Snell over 50 yards today. The Steelers will throw a lot more than they run, but Snell will still touch the ball a good amount.3) Rothlisberger Over 1.5 Passing Touchdowns (-193)
This is my favorite bet of the day. Big Ben is absolutely rolling and his wide receivers are rolling right along with him. Specifically, rookie Chase Claypool, who has 10 scores this year and a couple of multi-score games. Betting $100 will win you $152. This is easy money.
