3. Ravens vs. Steelers

Just because the Baltimore Ravens will be resting their starters in Week 17 with the top overall seed already locked up doesn’t mean this won’t be another classic battle with the Pittsburgh Steelers.

If anything, the Ravens will most likely still be determined to eliminate their rivals from playoff contention since the Steelers are technically on the outside looking in at the moment behind the Tennessee Titans.

One can only imagine how intense a potential Divisional Round battle between Baltimore and Pittsburgh would be, but for now, the main focus in on Sunday’s game with these two rivals.

No one needs to explain how this rivalry is one of the best the NFL has to offer, and the Ravens actually face a difficult position since they don’t want to be the ones that allow the Steelers to punch their ticket in the postseason while possibly regretting it later on.

If Pittsburgh continues to play like they have over the last two games, chances are that Baltimore will be able to defeat them with the backups.

But if desperation kicks in for the Steelers to earn that final Wild Card spot, this could turn into another classic battle with their rivalry against the Ravens.
