Thursday Night Football: Steelers at Ravens

Kickoff: 5:30 p.m., CBS Records: Pittsburgh (1-0), Baltimore (0-1) Line: BAL by 2 1/2 O/U: 44. Synopsis: Ravens deal with the Ray Rice fallout, but he already was suspended before the video of his assault surfaced this week, so the impact might be more symbolic than actual. Defense was the problem for the Ravens in Week 1 (they gave up 380 yards in losing to the Bengals), and they face a team that got 365 passing yards last week from Ben Roethlisberger and scored 30 points. The last five meetings have been decided by no more than three points. Expect another close one. Pick: Steelers 27, Ravens 24.
