Kenny Pickett and the Pittsburgh Steelers (5-7) have treaded water for much of the season, but can they hold off coach John Harbaugh's Baltimore Ravens (8-4) in an AFC North matchup?

Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson will miss the game due to injury, which forces backup Tyler Huntley into action. Can Pickett, Najee Harris and George Pickens muster enough offense to outpace Baltimore? Will T.J. Watt conjure up a nightmare for the Ravens' line? The game kicks off Sunday at 1 p.m. ET from Acrisure Stadium.

Here's a look at the betting details and USA TODAY's NFL staff picks for the Ravens vs. Steelers Week 14 game:

Lorenzo Reyes: Steelers 24, Ravens 18

Pittsburgh has been one of my favorite teams to back over the last couple of months. Since they’ve gotten healthy, the Steelers have covered five of their last seven games, though they’ve only won four straight up in that span. Still, with Lamar Jackson banged up and likely out, and Baltimore’s inconsistency, I feel quite comfortable riding the Steelers here.

Richard Morin: Ravens 18, Steelers 16

The Ravens are 4-2 on the road this season and showed plenty of competitive spirit with Tyler Huntley under center last season. It'll be a low-scoring game, but the Ravens find a way to pull this one out.

Lance Pugmire: Ravens 20, Steelers 13

With Lamar Jackson in week-to-week mode, Huntley is tasked with keeping Baltimore atop the AFC North in a game expected to be points-restricted. The total is 37.5.

Jarrett Bell: Ravens 23, Steelers 20

Nate Davis: Ravens 23, Steelers 20

Tyler Dragon: Ravens 20, Steelers 16

  • Vietnam continues support for bank engulfed in massive fraud, central bank says

    Vietnam's central bank said on Friday it had continued providing support to Saigon Joint Stock Commercial Bank (SCB), which it put under special supervision in October 2022 after a run on its deposits. Reuters reported on Wednesday the central bank had pumped nearly $24 billion in SCB to prevent its collapse, and that special loans to the bank had continued at least until early April. The central bank placed SCB under its supervision to stem a run on the bank sparked by the October 2022 arrest of real estate tycoon Truong My Lan, who was last week sentenced to death over her role in a $12.5 billion financial fraud case, Vietnam's biggest of its kind.
