The Ravens have three guys listed on the injury report: cornerback Marlon Humphrey, tackle James Hurst, and guard Alex Lewis are all listed as out for this weekend as of October 29th. The Steelers, on the other hand, have just one player listed as out: tackle Marcus Gilbert. Roethlisberger and corner Coty Sensabaugh are listed as questionable for the game but will likely play.
Steelers vs. Ravens Predictions
The Ravens stole a game on the road already this year, 
but I think that the Steelers will come ready to play for this one. The Steelers got off to a rough start and have rattled off three wins in a row. The last game the Steelers lost came against the Ravens. I don’t think that the Steelers are going to drop another one to the Ravens. The defense will tighten up and not allow Flacco any breathing room. Look for the Steelers to win in a brawl. Take the Steelers and the points.
