I don't know that they win the first contest, though, because we'll lean on our running game early in the season and in Pittsburgh to make our young tackles' lives easier and Mixon will run all over their garbage run defense. They're not young enough to keep up with our receivers and protect the long ball when they start loading the box. Coming off our bye week means that we'll also be healthier and fresh with energy and we'll get after Ben.
Aside from week 17 against the Browns, they have a brutal schedule to end the year and they'll be lucky to get through it with Ben, Bell, and Brown all healthy.
Flacco continues to fail to live up to his contract.
I had my doubts early, but this team is growing on me as a contender!
1. Cincinnati
2. Pittsburgh
3. Baltimore
4 Cleveland
I hate predictions...too many variables during a season. But I wanted to point out one thing:

Go ahead and rely on that rushing game.
