AFC North Week 4 Picks

Jacksonville Jaguars vs Cincinnati Bengals
After an impressive victory over the Pittsburgh Steelers on Sunday, the Bengals have a short week to prepare for 0-3 Jacksonville Jaguars on Thursday night. Quarterback Joe Burrow and wide receiver Ja'Marr Chase are a dangerous duo that the Jaguars secondary won't be able to handle. The Jaguars are shuffling around their secondary after trading cornerback CJ Henderson to the Panthers on Monday. Rookie corner Tyson Campbell will be filling the starting spot across from veteran corner Shaquill Griffin. I am sure Burrow and company will be looking to test the rookie often Thursday night. I expect the Bengals to win the game and advance to 3-1.
Bengals win 35-14

Cleveland Browns vs Minnesota Vikings
Although both Browns wide receivers Odell Beckham Jr. and Jarvis Landry are questionable to play, I still think the Browns will escape Minnesota with a win. Look for the Browns to rely heavily on their running game and their workhorses Nick Chubb and Kareem Hunt. The Vikings are hoping to have they're running back Dalvin Cook who is currently questionable to play Sunday. Without a stable run game, I believe Brown's defensive ends Jadeveon Clowney and Myles Garret will have an outstanding game against the Viking's offensive line.

Baltimore Ravens vs Denver Broncos
The Ravens are still riding high after an unbelievable game-winning 66-yard field by Justin Tucker. Unfortunately, Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson is questionable to play Sunday after sustaining a back injury. I believe the Denver Broncos will advance to 4-0 this season if Lamar can't play. I expect Broncos quarterback Teddy Bridgewater to have a big game due to the fact the Ravens are riddled with injuries. Earlier in the year, the Ravens lost their star players Marcus Peters, J.K. Dobbins, and Gus Edwards to season-ending knee injuries.
Broncos win 35-21

Pittsburgh Steelers vs Green Bay Packers
Although I am a Steelers fan, I expect us to drop to 1-3 Sunday. The Steelers are riddled with injuries right now T.J. Watt, Alex Highsmith, Ben Roethlisberger, JuJu Smith- Schuster, and Diontae Johnson are all questionable to play Sunday. Even if Ben did play, I believe his pectoral injury sustained in the Raiders game would affect his play. Also, the Steelers offense still hasn't developed a decent run game ranking 32nd in rushing.
Packers win 32-14
