2025 Sunday Night Football Best Bets - NFL Lines & Picks

2025 NFL Sunday Night Football Week 18 Betting Lines

The end of the NFL regular season has arrived and it won’t end without drama. Two divisions across the league will be decided in Week 18 with the battle between the Baltimore Ravens and Pittsburgh Steelers determining the AFC North winner and the No. 4 seed in the conference playoffs. With so much on the line the game was moved to the Sunday Night Football time slot ensuring the most compelling matchup gets the coveted primetime slot.

The Steelers had several opportunities to clinch the division, including last week at Cleveland. However, the Steelers were unable to secure a win against the last-place Browns leaving the door open. Playing at Green Bay without Lamar Jackson left the Ravens as a 2.5-point underdog. Baltimore defied the odds behind a Herculean effort from Derrick Henry to set up the winner-take-all matchup. The game takes place on Jan. 4 at 8:20 p.m. ET from Acrisure Stadium in Pittsburgh and can be seen on NBC.

Ravens at Steelers Betting Preview

The Ravens have been playing catch up since the start of the season when they dropped five of their first six games. A Week 12 win over the Jets capped a 5-game winning streak that got them over .500, but the team failed to build on the momentum dropping three of its next four games. Heading into their Week 17 game with the Packers the outlook for another playoff appearance was bleak. On the road in a hostile environment without former MVP Lamar Jackson, the Ravens found a way to stay alive, which is all you can ask at this point.

Without Jackson the Ravens turned to Henry and he delivered. One thing the team has excelled at is running the football. Jackson plays a role in that area, but for the past few seasons Henry has been the bell cow. After carrying the football a total of 29 times in the last two games, Henry rushed 36 times for 216 yards with four TDs. Over his last three games Henry has amassed 444 rushing yards averaging 6.8 yards per carry with six TDs.

Jackson missed Sunday’s game with a back injury and his status for the Week 18 showdown is unknown at this point. The Ravens turned to Tyler Huntley on Sunday and he was efficient completing 16 of 20 for 107 yards and a TD. In two starts, Huntley delivered wins against playoff teams Chicago and Green Bay completing nearly 79 percent of his passes for 293 yards and two TDs without an interception. He also ran for 113 yards in those games.

The Browns have a good defense, but for the Steelers to not score a touchdown against them is inexcusable. The defense did its job holding the Browns to 262 total yards and 4 of 11 on third-down plays. They also intercepted a pair of passes raising their season takeaway total to 26, tied for third league-wide.

You can blame the weather or the absence of D.K. Metcalf, but the Steelers offense didn’t generate nearly enough. Veteran Aaron Rodgers was brought in with the idea that he could win a few games in late December and January. His first attempt was a flop. With a chance to secure the AFC North the Steelers managed just 4.5 yards per play and failed to hit paydirt in the 13-6 loss.

The bitter rivals will meet again with the division title and playoff spot that comes with it up for grabs. And the Steelers can lean on recent success in the series. Rodgers threw for 284 yards and a TD in Pittsburgh’s 27-22 victory in Week 14, their fifth triumph in the last seven meetings. And there’s a good chance we get another close game between these evenly matched squads. Eight of the last 10 meeting were decided by a touchdown or less with the last four games in Pittsburgh having a margin of 12 points.
