Well it’s your boy Lavoie here and I still have some tears coming from the corner of my eyes after watching Big Ben’s send off at Heinz Field Monday night.
But, he still has one game left and it actually means something for the Steelers so it’s time to get back to work.
With that in mind and the lines set, let’s dig into this one.
Now the Steelers have a long shot hope of making the playoffs and here is how the situation breaks down.
The Steelers obviously have to win their final game against the Baltimore on Sunday. But they also need losses from either the Raiders or Chargers, who play each other in primetime at home in Vegas which should be a close one (it just cannot end in a tie), and they also need a loss from the Colts who play the Jaguars.
The odds of the Jags beating the Colts are about as high as the Chargers and Raiders ending in a tie. However, you can bet that Mike Tomlin and Big Ben aren’t just going to throw in the towel.
Pittsburgh Steelers
The Steelers have had a disappointing campaign as I have touched on before. TJ Watt is leading the league in sacks and only 1.5 away from tying Michael Strahan’s single season record.
Dionate Johnson after leading the league in drops last season has really cleaned up that part of his game and has only 4 all season, they all came in the previous two games but he has improved in a massive way and is now considered their WR1 moving forward.
With Ben retiring they’ll have to fill the most important position on a football field and it has become clear that Rudolph is not the long term answer, and they didn’t even try Haskins out at all.
Baltimore Ravens
The Ravens have been without super star quarterback Lamar Jackson due to an ankle injury. But in the interim Michael Huntley has stepped in and was lights out against the Packers a couple weeks ago and has drawn attention as a potential starter for QB needy teams next season.
Their season is riding on the outcome of this game and some other results so a lot is still on the line, and despite the solid play from Huntley they will still want Lamar under center if he can go.

4* Free Week 18 NFL Betting Prediction: Steelers +5.5
This pick is contingent on Huntley starting and not Lamar. All things are pointing to Lamar not being available for Sunday, he is a participant in practice but is limited.
I do really like Huntley but it just feels like this line is a little big for him to cover against a very good pass rush. TJ Watt is going to be starving to break that record.
Hammer the Steelers and the points and best of luck to you!
