The Steelers vs Ravens live stream is scheduled for 1 p.m. ET / 10 a.m. PT today (Sunday, Nov. 1) on CBS.

It's time for the Steelers vs Ravens live stream, which is expected to deliver some "hard-nosed football," as Pittsburgh Steelers' QB Ben Roethlisberger prefers to describe the bouts between his team and the Baltimore Ravens. This is one of the fiercest rivalries in football — and it's as hot as ever this year. 

At 6-0, the Steelers are the last undefeated team in the 2020 NFL, although their latest victory was a squeaker. Despite one (crushing) defeat to Kansas City, the Ravens are considered the better team by the oddsmakers. The Ravens are currently favored to win this NFL live stream by 4.5 points.

Over their past 27 games, the average margin of victory between these teams has been just 1.37 points, in Baltimore’s favor. (That includes two matches that went into overtime.) And according to the stats, the teams are awfully well matched this season, with Pittsburgh averaging 30.5 points per game, vs. Baltimore's 29.8. But the Steelers are giving up over two more points, 19.7 vs 17.3. That's not to say Pittsburgh's defense is weak. It's still one of the best in the NFL, but Baltimore's defense is currently the very best.

There are lots of little factors that could make the difference this time. The Ravens have a few advantages. They are playing at home with moral support from a partly filled M&T Bank Stadium, and they are rested after a bye week. The Steelers are coming off a harrowing near-defeat to the Tennessee Titans (another team that had been favored to beat them).

Bottom line: Expect high drama in this Steelers vs Ravens slugfest.

NFL Week 8 games

Sling TV, our other favorite live TV service, won't be enough to help, as its array of NFL game-hosting networks — FOX, ESPN, NBC and NFL Network — lacks CBS and NFL RedZone.

The more comprehensive package comes from fuboTV, as it has all five of the main channels you'll want: CBS, ESPN, FOX, NBC and the NFL Network. That's why it's one of the best streaming services.

It's a case of "you get what you pay for" as Sling Orange & Blue (which you'd need to get ESPN, FOX, NBC and NFL Network) costs $45 per month, while the Fubo TV Standard package gives you all of the above, for $59.99 per month.
