Wild Card Matchup: Baltimore Ravens (10-6) vs. Pittsburgh Steelers (11-5)

TV Schedule: Saturday, Jan. 3, 8:15 p.m. ET, NBC

Stadium: Heinz Field

Line: Pittsburgh (-3.5)

Who is ready for Baltimore vs. Pittsburgh Round 3? I know I am. These two teams have met twice this year. The Ravens won one and the Steelers won one. Surprisingly enough, both teams won by a good amount of points.

Unfortunately for Baltimore, it did not win the division, which means it will play this one away from home. It is, however, coming off a victory against the Cleveland Browns (20-10).

Whether people predicted it or not, RB Justin Forsett had a great season. After all, he rushed for 1,266 yards and eight TDs. Although QB Joe Flacco will have to come up big, Forsett has to continue to be a force on the ground.

Pittsburgh enters the playoffs on a four-game winning streak. In fact, two of those victories came against the Cincinnati Bengals, who also made the playoffs.

RB Le’Veon Bell may have had a great season for the Steelers, but Pittsburgh very well could lose playoff game No. 1 if he is not able to go, or isn’t at full strength. With that in mind, Ben Roethlisberger has had some huge games this year, and needs some great outings in the postseason.

Whether Bell is good to go or not will have a major impact in this one, but Pittsburgh is playing at home, is coming in with a bunch of momentum and beat the Ravens in their last meeting by the score of 43-23.

PREDICTION: Ravens 10, Steelers 17
