Cincinnati Bengals at Cleveland Browns

Creative Misfortune's Pick: Tennessee Titans by 5. The Titans D should be able to shut down whoever starts at quarterback for the Jaguars.

Home Team Wins Pick: Jacksonville Jaguars by 3.
Pittsburgh Steelers at Baltimore Ravens
Creative Misfortune's Pick: Pittsburgh Steelers by 4. The score will be something ridiculous like 13-9 or 22-18 knowing these two teams, but Pittsburgh will come out ahead, as usual.
