The latest sports betting line posted for this game by BetMania, has the Ravens listed as 2.5 point favorites.The Steelers and the Ravens Bears jersey
don’t like one other or at least play like they don’t like one another. When they meet on the football field, it is the most physical game of the year and players end up getting hurt.Both teams boast bruising warriors in star linebackers James Harrison of the Steelers and Ray Lewis of the Ravens. This rivalry adds another chapter to Sunday Night Football and is even more enticing considering that both teams have 8-3 records.Unlike the first meeting, Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger will play in this game and, in the past, he has fared very well against their AFC North counterpart. Across the field from Roethlisberger will be a Ravens offense that has its share of superstars, with running back Ray Rice and quarterback Joe Flacco. With all due respect to the New York Jets and the New England Patriots, this is the best game of the week and the biggest rivalry in the NFL.Football historians may argue that the Dallas Cowboys against the Washington Redskins is a better rivalry or the Chicago Bears and the Green Bay Packers should get the label of the best rivalry in the league. Those rivalries are fun to watch, but have lost their luster over the years. Until recently, with the revival of the Bears, these teams were not very good. A rivalry gets better when both the teams are potential Super Bowl champions.What is the Best Current rivalry in the NFL?What is the Best Current rivalry in the NFL?Pittsburgh vs Baltimore88.8%New England Vs Jets1.7%Dallas vs Chargers jersey

This series is fun to watch, but recently renewed and has not had the staying power of the Ravens against the Steelers.AFC East fans would argue that the Jets and the Patriots are deserving of the best rivalry in the NFL. Both teams are having a great season and Rex Ryan is always entertaining, but the Patriots and the Colts would seem to be a better rivalry in football. The Jets have recently stepped back into the spotlight as a good team in the league and usually end up on the losing side of the Patriots, led by Tom Brady.The Steelers and the Ravens series are always entertaining. The games are always close and filled with hard hits, smack talk and last minute drama. This is a fierce division battle and, in my opinion, the best rivalry in the NFL.Matt Regaw is a B/R Featured Columnist and the founder of BookieBlitz.com, your one-stop shop 4 Brett Favre Purple jersey
