Pittsburgh Steelers: Who Will Claim the AFC North?

The Pittsburgh Steelers are currently ranked No. 2 in the AFC North, and tonight they will face their conference rivals (and No. 1 AFC North team) the Baltimore Ravens.

Pittsburgh was down a star quarterback in Week 4 when the Steelers lost at Heinz Field to the Ravens, but with "Big Ben" back in action, the Steelers look to dethrone the Ravens from their No. 1 spot.

The problem here is that Ben Roethlisberger may not be exactly 100 percent healthy heading into this game. Roethlisberger suffered a foot injury earlier this season, and he was limited in practice all week.

But Big Ben has won five straight games against the Ravens, and a sore foot shouldn't keep him from adding his sixth victory tonight.

The Steelers have one of the best rush defenses in the NFL, and I expect this to be a hard-fought battle between two very good football teams.

It will be a close one, but the Steelers will get the win.

Predicted Score: Steelers 21, Ravens 17
