Steelers Breakdown: Pittsburgh hit rock bottom last weekend, at least it hopes, losing 24-27 in overtime at Kansas City. The 
loss was the Steelers second in a row and put them a game back of the Cincinnati Bengals in the AFC North standings with a 6-4 overall record. Both Roethlisberger, who took a knee to the head, and his backup, Charlie Batch, were injured in the extra frame.
Dennis Dixon, who was a Heisman candidate in his final year at Oregon, has thrown just one pass as a professional, that coming in mop up duty in the 2008 regular season finale against the Browns. Given the situation, Mike Tomlin will probably lean heavily on running back Rashard Mendenhall and the ground game.
The Steelers are 2-3 on the road this season (1-4 ATS), where they are averaging 22.8 points per game and giving up 19.4 per contest to host squads.
Ravens Breakdown: Baltimore's faltering playoff hopes took another shot to the chin last weekend as the Colts beat the Ravens 17-15 at M&T Bank Stadium. The loss was the second in Baltimore's last three games and dropped their record to 5-5 on the season. John Harbaugh's club now trails the Jaguars, Broncos, and Steelers in the AFC post-season chase and they are tied with Miami and Houston.
The Ravens are 3-2 straight up and against the spread at home this season, despite allowing an average of just 13.6 points per game at M&T.
NFL Odds Betting Trend: The Steelers are 6-2 against the spread in their last eight games as a road dog versus an AFC North opponent (Under 6-2).
