Pittsburgh Steelers, Baltimore Ravens Radio Stream: Listen Free Online at 8:30 p.m. ET

Thanksgiving Day is here and as it wraps up, expect there to be football action available online. Check out the radio stream for those who cannot watch the game as an AFC North battle ensues between the Baltimore Ravens and Pittsburgh Steelers.

The Steelers are the favorite as they have defeated the Ravens in the past and are coming off three straight victories. With the season winding down, after an 0-4 start, the Steelers are winning at the right time. There are only about five games left in the regular season and these teams are both fighting for their lives.

The Ravens are working backwards. After a so-so start to their season, they were at least winning. Their running game has been nothing special, their quarterback has been below average, but the defense has surprisingly remained steady despite the absence of guys like Ray Lewis and Ed Reed. Luckily for the Ravens, Reed was allowed to walk and the once lock-down defender is now bringing misery to other teams around the league. The Houston Texans and New York Jets have not won games when Reed is on the field. That shows the Ravens made at least one decent offeseason decision.

Like the Jets, the Ravens have not put together great runs. They might win great games one win, but they usually have followed up a great performance with a loss. The Ravens will need a Super Bowl-like run if they want to remain champions of the NFL. However, as of now, they are far from the competitive squad that was respectable in the previous years.

The Steelers are on the up. They have not lost since Week 9 when the New England Patriots handed them a solid loss. The score was so bad it should not even be repeated. Heading into this game, as the Steelers look to win their fourth straight, they will be a bit banged up, but they will only miss the one player, Steve McLendon as they will need as many bodies as possible to get past their division rivals.

While the Ravens appear fairly healthy on paper, the Steelers have a lot of probables, especially on defense, which is their forte. They will need as many bodies as they can on the front line, though the Ravens do not run the ball well. However, it will be a great opportunity for the Steelers to show how great their pass defense is, forcing Flacco to throw the ball and allow him to commit mistakes.
