Despite a frigid 23-degree temperature, the Baltimore Ravens and Pittsburgh Steelers have perfect conditions for high-octane offensive production on Sunday Night Football.
Headlined by Zay Flowers, here are my best NFL picks, Ravens vs. Steelers predictions, and NFL player props for Sunday, January 4.
Ravens vs Steelers SNF props
| Player | Pick |  |
|---|---|---|
 Aaron Rodgers |
Over 20.5 pass completions | -114 |
| Kenneth Gainwell |
Over 4.5 receptions | -114 |
 Zay Flowers |
Over 60.5 receiving yards | -114 |
Aaron Rodgers Over 20.5 pass completions (-114)
The Pittsburgh Steelers are 3.5-point underdogs in this contest, suggesting a passing game script. That should result in plenty of throws for quarterback Aaron Rodgers.
Since Pittsburgh's bye in Week 5, Rodgers has completed more than 20.5 passes in eight of 11 games. He's eclipsed this number in each of his last four contests, including a Week 14 clash at Baltimore when he completed 23 of 34 passes for 284 yards.
The Baltimore Ravens defense has been a passing funnel, ranking 28th in the NFL in completions allowed per game (23.0).
Kenneth Gainwell Over 4.5 receptions (-114)
The majority of Rodgers' passes have been shorter throws to running backs and tight ends. That could be even more prominent in this game with Pittsburgh's top deep threat, D.K. Metcalf, serving a suspension.
Running back Kenneth Gainwell leads the Steelers with 65 receptions this year. He was limited to three catches last week but had surpassed 4.5 receptions in five of his previous six games.
Baltimore is 26th in the league in pass DVOA against running backs and has allowed the third-most receptions per game (5.1) to the position.
Zay Flowers Over 60.5 receiving yards (-114)
Zay Flowers leads Baltimore in receptions (82) and receiving yards (1078), with nobody else on the team hitting the 500-yard mark. The O/U for his receiving yards is set at 60.5, a number he has gone Over in 11 of 16 games this season.
The Steelers are 27th in the league in receiving yards allowed to wide receivers. When these teams previously clashed in Week 14, Flowers cooked Pittsburgh's secondary by reeling in eight of 11 targets for 124 yards.
Baltimore has been heavily reliant on Derrick Henry over the last month, but with Pittsburgh stacking the box to stop the run, expect Flowers to find openings downfield.
