AFC North Predictions Week 9

[Dill]

Week 9, and for the first time this season I am fully confident that neither the Browns nor the Bengals will lose.

Neither will the pride of the AFCN, which will humiliate "America's Team" 33-6 to remain undefeated.
Earlier this week I worried this could be a trap game, but I now think Dallas is just too weak offensively, and facing one of the league's top defenses.

"They can't beat you if they can't score," as the division's most colorful coach once put it.

So three AFCN teams will make it through the week 9 undefeated. What about the remaining one?

Big question mark here. Seven Ravens defenders held out of practice this week, thanks to close contact with Humphreys. They are on he road. The Colts have an above average quarterback and a near Steeler-level defense. More pressure for LJ, who's not done well under real pressure.

Oddsmakers favor (barely) the Colts, but I think Ngakoue will have more impact this week. We'll see some sacks as the angry and shamed Birds pull this one out to regain pride and momentum 21-17. Quarterback sneaks will work this time, too.

AFCN goes 2-0 this week.
