Week 11 vs. Cleveland Browns

Even though Baker Mayfield is giving out interceptions like chocolate bars on Halloween, the Browns as a team have two identities. The outcome of this game will depend on which version of the Browns show up.

In Week 4, the Browns beat the Baltimore Ravens in a potentially season-saving game. They then turned around and got steamrolled by the San Francisco 49ers, a team the Steelers almost beat. In Week 6, the Browns took the Seattle Seahawks down to the wire but lost the game. There is no consistency with the Browns.

Predicted outcome: Win

Week 12 vs. Cincinnati Bengals

Assuming A.J. Green doesn’t return and suddenly transform the Bengals into an entirely new team, this should be a repeat of Pittsburgh’s one-sided victory in Week 4. The Bengals are 0-6 and Zac Taylor’s first season as a head coach is approaching disaster levels. Andy Dalton can’t be blamed for the mess Cincinnati has devolved into.

Predicted outcome: Win

Week 13 vs. Cleveland Browns

While the Browns do have a lot of problems, they’re too talented to lose to Pittsburgh’s twice this season. Mayfield will throw three interceptions in one of the games and then turn around and throw three touchdowns in the next meeting. That or Nick Chubb will get loose and carve up Pittsburgh’s defense.

Predicted outcome: Loss
