What was supposed to be a primetime Thanksgiving matchup between the Baltimore Ravens and Pittsburgh Steelers has been, like many other events and NFL games in 2020, marred by the COVID-19 pandemic.
On Wednesday, it was announced that Thursday night's game between the Steelers and Ravens has been postponed and rescheduled for Sunday, leaving the NFL without its Thanksgiving main event.
Baltimore Ravens at Pittsburgh Steelers Betting Odds

Baltimore Ravens at Pittsburgh Steelers Picks
1. Gus Edwards breaks out for the Ravens, topping 20 carries for the first time in 2020 and breaking 100 yards against the lauded Steelers defense
2. Ben Roethlisberger struggles. Big Ben has been up and down this year, doing enough to keep the Steelers undefeated, but in this game he will turn the ball over multiple times.
3. The Steelers defense contains Lamar Jackson. T.J. Watt and Pittsburgh's defensive core will keep Jackson in the pocket, and not allow him to break 50 rushing yards.
Baltimore Ravens at Pittsburgh Steelers Key Notes
- Multiple Baltimore Ravens tested positive for COVID-19 after last week's game, leading to this game being rescheduled

- TE Mark Andrews caught five passes for nearly 100 yards and a touchdown last week against the Titans
- The Steelers defense is coming off a win over the Jaguars where they held Jacksonville to three points and caused four interceptions
- James Connor had one of his best games of the season rushing for 89 yards and averaging almost seven yards per carry
