Well that prediction didn't go well.

AFC North Week 3 matchups

Ravens @ Chiefs. Ravens want to be the Chiefs. KC is (are) the Chiefs. I expect Balmer to make a game of it but I think Mahomes will be too much. something like 30-20 KC.

Cinci @ Buffalo. Bills are 2-0 and playing some good ball. it was only the Giants and Jets but still... Cinci has lost to the Seahawks and at home v the 49ers. law of averages says Bengals due for a win but I say no. Bills 21-17

Pigsburgh @ San Francisco. maybe the new QB will light things up but I'm going wi SF on this one. their QB is lighting it up. Niners 30-17

Cleveland hosts LA Rams. Sunday! Night! Football! gotta go with the Rams, though there might be hangover after big win against Saints. 27-13. will the home crowd turn if the Brownies start slow?

Sure looks like Cincy and Pittsburgh are going to be 0-3 with a tough road game each. They're toast if that happens.

The Browns enter a brutal 5 game stretch starting with the Rams... followed by @ BAL, @ SF, vs SEA and @ NE. We want to see them go 1-4 because the schedule theoretically gets a lot easier from there. Ravens home game vs Cleveland needs to be a W.

The Ravens meanwhile can probably afford a loss to KC - though it may have a big impact on playoff seeding. After that is a string of crucial division games: vs CLE, @ PIT, vs CIN. I am very much interested in seeing the road game vs a Mason Rudolph led Steelers team.

It is. Njoku was a good not great, competent TE. But when you look at what Cleveland has behind him, yikes.

Looking forward to watching the Browns - Rams game to see just how good the Browns defense is. I hate to say it, but I think the Browns defense could be a top 5.

how bout Rams D vs Browns O? is Wade Phillips still coordinating?

**sailorsam** · 09-23-2019, 07:07 AM

well not too good a day for the AFC North
RAVENS lose a tight one @ KC.
BENGALS come back but lose @ Buffalo
STEELERS lose a close one @ San Fran
BROWNS lose close to LA Rams last night.

this week: Ravens host Browns; Cinci @ Pigsburgh Monday Night

not worried about Bmore. at this point very few teams are going to beat the Chiefs in their house.

Bengals 0-3. looks like another non-playoff year (fine with me)

Steelers new QB looked decent with limited playbook. had to lead a two-minute offense on road in his first start; ouch! Pigsbugh gonna struggle if they can't win after forcing five turnovers.

Browns @ Bmore this week will be big. gotta go with the Ravens.
