Ravens at Steelers: Another battle in the AFC North, this time on Saturday Night for a chance to advance to the Divisional round.

Pittsburgh is anxiously awaiting the news on Le’Veon Bell. Bell went down in the season finale against the Bengals, but is believed to have avoided any ligament damage..which is great news for the Steelers.

The bad news for Pittsburgh is that Bell may not play Saturday. The team signed recently waived Ben Tate as insurance, but there’s no way he can match Bell’s production.

Baltimore has been up and down all year, clinching the final wild card spot Week 17 with a comeback win over the Browns, and a friendly loss by the San Diego Chargers. The Ravens have a very good chance of coming into Heinz Field and defeating the Steelers, but I expect a lot of Big Ben to Antonio Brown without a healthy Le’veon Bell.
