After all the Ray Rice controversy this week, highlighting the Ravens on Thursday Night Football could be a double-edged sword for the NFL. I can only hope some good will come out of this situation and lead to players being held more accountable for their off-field actions.
With all the uncertainty surrounding the Steelers and Ravens in recent weeks, nobody seems to know who will win this game. Four prediction systems favor the Steelers, three favor the Ravens. No matter what happens, it should be another great game between these two black-and-blue division rivals.

Pittsburgh Steelers at Baltimore Ravens
