If you are betting on the Ravens vs. Steelers game, there are some important things to know.

The line was pretty much Steelers -6 across the board after opening at -5.  Only around 5 percent of books had the line at -5 ½. 

First off, the betting public doesn't have a strong opinion on one side over the other as the action is relatively even heading into Wednesday.  The Baltimore Ravens were getting around 55 percent of the action however. 

Baltimore in the first half in all games this season was 13-2 on grass and 15-3 overall.

But the edge for the game as a whole goes to Pittsburgh, at least winning on the money line where, against conference opponents, the Steelers are 11-2 this season and 11-1 against division opponents.

There is somewhat of an edge for the Ravens Against the Spread where they are 10-2 ATS in their last 12 games following a Straight Up win.  They are 14-4 in all games Against The Spread.

The Steelers have won 3 of the last 4 in this series.   Only once over that period did the Steelers win by more than the current 6 point spread - over the last 3 they did not, but won one of those games by 6 points (the current spread).   Baltimore and Pittsburgh have split this series.   Only 2 games in the last 10 were won by Pittsburgh by more than the current spread.
