Baltimore Ravens quarterback Joe Flacco (5) looks to pass under pressure from Pittsburgh Steelers nose tackle Cam Thomas (96) during the first half of an NFL football game Thursday, Sept. 11, 2014, in Baltimore.

Here’s the latest installment of the Play of the Day, which uses odds from the South Point. Our three sports writers started with a $10,000 bankroll — fictional, of course.

Pittsburgh Steelers plus-1 vs. Baltimore Ravens: $550 to win $500 : The Pittsburgh Steelers offense will duplicate its efforts from last week and give Baltimore fits.

Pittsburgh scored more than 50 points in beating the Colts, including 522 passing yards and six touchdowns from quarterback Ben Roethlisberger. With wide receiver Antonio Brown and running back Le'Veon Bell leading the charge, the Steelers have two offensive weapons Baltimore won’t be able to contain. That’s especially true considering Baltimore isn’t healthy in the secondary, including top defensive back Jimmy Smith out with injury.

The rivalry is one of the NFL’s best and games are always closely contested. But with Pittsburgh’s offense confident after last week’s effort, I’m confident in the Steelers’ ability to cover.

Standings: Bern (51-46-1, $11,156), Keefer (45-54-1, $7,201), Brewer (44-52-3, $3,755)
