USA Today’s Safid Deen breaks down the current situation with Tyreek Hill and the Miami Dolphins.
Sports Pulse
Playoff football is designed to be hard-nosed, tough contests that get more intense than the regular season ever could. So, what happens when we put two already very hard-nosed teams from the toughest division in the NFL, who know and hate one another, against each other in the postseason?
That could be the making of an all-time classic. However, given what we’ve seen from the Pittsburgh Steelers as of late, their matchup against the Baltimore Ravens could very easily get out of hand. The Ravens came on strong late in the year. After an 0-2 start, they finished the year on a 12-3 run to win the AFC North. The Steelers meanwhile, let the division slip from their fingers thanks to a four-game losing streak to end the year.
Here are our experts’ predictions for this wild card matchup.

Lorenzo Reyes: Ravens 26, Steelers 21
I do like the Ravens a lot in this matchup, especially since they recently thumped the Steelers in Baltimore by 17 points just a few weeks ago. Still, Pittsburgh has tended to play the Ravens tough, and Mike Tomlin’s teams usually are tough outs in the postseason. I think 10 points is way too generous a line.
Tyler Dragon: Ravens 27, Steelers 19
These two AFC North teams know each other very well and split the season series. However, the Ravens have found their stride at the right time. Baltimore’s defense is playing better, plus Lamar Jackson and Derrick Henry have the entire squad poised for a Super Bowl run. The Steelers, who are riding a four-game losing streak, are limping into the playoffs.
Jordan Mendoza: Ravens 30, Steelers 19
Pittsburgh hasn’t looked like a playoff team for quite some time. LAmar Jackson figures out the Steelers in their last meetings, and he puts on another show in a comfortable victory.
