Although Pittsburgh (7-2) enters with a one-game lead over Baltimore (7-3), ESPN Analytics gives the Ravens a 63% chance to win the AFC North heading into Sunday. A win would increase their odds to 80%, but a loss would drop them to 36% while boosting the Steelers' chances to 63%. If the Steelers lose, however, their chances fall to 20%.

Both teams are just a little more amped up, a little more hungry and a little more motivated. The Steelers and Ravens each have a goal of playing a physical style of football — one that just falls short of re-creation against opponents outside of one another.
