Pittsburgh Steelers @ Cincinnati Bengals, 8:20 PM ET
This game will not only be for first place in the AFC North, but the winner of this game will end up having a pretty good advantage to close out the division, especially if the Pittsburgh Steelers can defeat the Cincinnati Bengals for the second time this year.
Pittsburgh took care of business at home earlier this year, but with the way this offense has played for the Bengals, I find it hard to believe that Joe Burrow is going to slow down at home. Cincy's defense has definitely been much improved this year, but that unit is still inconsistent from time to time.
The Steelers have the advantage in terms of defense and running the ball, but there is a significant advantage with the Bengals offense and QB play. For that reason, we're picking the home team to win this one.
Prediction: Bengals win 30-23

Los Angeles Chargers @ Baltimore Ravens, 8:15 PM ET
The Los Angeles Chargers may legitimate start 0-9. Jacoby Brissett should get the start for the Baltimore Ravens, and while the Ravens won't do anything of note with Brissett, they'll at least hang around most weeks, and it's hard to pick against them when the worst team in football comes to town.
There just isn't much more to say with the Chargers - they're the worst team in the sport and might be one of the most disappointing teams we have seen in quite some time. I guess given how bad the Chargers have been this year, it can't get much worse, right?
Perhaps we see some sort of regression to the mean where this team wins a game or two, but while Lamar Jackson is out, I don't see a path for the Chargers to go into a hostile environment and win. The Ravens also simply have more roster talent, so this game should go as expected.
Prediction: Ravens win 24-17
