Start

Los Angeles Chargers vs. San Francisco 49ers – Los Angeles plays host to a 49ers team that just lost quarterback Jimmy Garropolo for the season with a torn ACL. C.J. Beathard will take over the reins as the starter, and with only a week of preperation, expect the Chargers defense to throw everything but the kitchen sink at the backup turned starter.

Cleveland Browns at Oakland Raiders – The Browns defense seems to have finally started to come around considering the talent across the board. Cleveland marches to the black hole to face a Raiders team with the worst turnover margin in the league (-4, tied with Detroit). No. 1? Cleveland, at +9. Oakland is currently imploding under coach Jon Gruden, and Derek Carr just hasn’t looked the same since his rookie season. There’s big potential for turnovers here.

Sit

Baltimore Ravens at Pittsburgh Steelers – It’s another tough AFC North battle, as the Ravens possess one of the league’s best defenses. However, the Steelers offense is starting to find their groove (30+ points the last two weeks) and return home for what surely is a big game. Pittsburgh dropped 39 points on Baltimore the last time these two were at Heinz Field, and although Le’Veon Bell remains absent, the Steelers have shown they’re still capable of putting up points.

Denver Broncos vs Kansas City- Yes, the Broncos have Von Miller. Yes, the Broncos defense has scored in double-digits 2-of-3 weeks so far. However, the team is giving up nearly 24 points per game, and just so happens to be hosting what feels like a juggernaut of an offense in Kansas City. If Patrick Mahomes can replicate half of his success, find yourself another defense before hiding and seeking shelter.
