Ravens (+3)
Prisco has the Baltimore Ravens winning at home against the Pittsburgh Steelers in Week 18. Pittsburgh is 6-1 in its last seven matchups with Baltimore. The Steelers are also 5-1 in their past six road games versus Baltimore.
“Who plays for the Ravens since they clinched the top seed? They might play some key starters for a bit,” he wrote.
“The Steelers need to have this game to have any chance to make the playoffs. But you know these two don’t like each other. Even if guys like Lamar Jackson sit, I think the Ravens will win it.”
Prisco’s final score is 24-21, Ravens.

Texans (-1.5)
Moreover, the CBS Sports NFL analyst has the Houston Texans winning on the road against the Tennessee Titans in this classic AFC South matchup. Houston is 4-16 in its last 20 games at Lucas Oil Stadium.
“The winner of this game will be in the playoffs and could win the AFC South if Jacksonville loses to the Titans,” he wrote.
“The Texans are a different team with C.J. Stroud, who played well last week after missing two games. I think he plays a good game here and the Texans make the playoffs.”
Prisco has Houston winning 31-26.
Bills (-2.5)
For his third pick, Prisco has the Buffalo Bills winning and covering the spread on the road against the Miami Dolphins on Sunday Night Football. Buffalo is 10-1 in its last 11 meetings with Miami.
“The winner wins the AFC East. The Bills and Josh Allen have dominated Miami in Allen’s career, and I don’t see that changing here,” he wrote. “Look for a big game from Allen against a defense that is banged up. The Bills win it.”
Prisco’s final score is 30-23, Bills.
