It’s NFL Playoffs time! The 2024 NFL regular season is officially in the rearview mirror and now we turn our attention to Super Wild Card Weekend, with the nightcap on Saturday seeing AFC North rivals collide with the Pittsburgh Steelers taking on the Baltimore Ravens at 8:00 pm ET on Amazon Prime Video. Pittsburgh has been in a major slump, losing 4 straight games and surrendering the division title to Baltimore, while the Ravens are beginning to peak at the right time. Can the Steelers pull the upset or will the Ravens finally deliver on a deep postseason run?
Let’s get into my best Steelers vs Ravens player prop bet for their huge NFL Wild Card game, where superstar running back Derrick Henry is the target. You can also find out the Pickswise team’s NFL picks on the side and total for every Wild Card game this week.
Derrick Henry (BAL) over 107.5 rushing+receiving yards (-115)

I refuse to overthink this one. Derrick Henry is not going to be fun to tackle in the cold. To finish the regular season, Henry had 161, 165 and 189 all-purpose yards in his last 3 games. 108 may seem like a lot, but I actually think it may be selling him short. Henry will be motivated in his first playoff game as a Raven to show that he can help lead his new squad far in the playoffs. He has already shown to be effective against Pittsburgh as he had 189 yards against them in his last matchup.
Baltimore is a double-digit favorite and this game projects to have a great run script. I really believe Henry will go nuclear on Saturday and with snow potentially being in the forecast he should be running at defenders like a freight train. Everyone on the planet may be on this one, but for good reason. Let’s see if Henry can show the world why he’s the king.
