Part 1 Predictions -
Texans at Titans - The Texans got their first win of the season in last week's game, but face a very good Titans' team that coming off a big win vs Buffalo. I know a lot of people (including myself) were kinda surprised by their win vs the Bills. As they pretty much haven't really been practicing for like 2 weeks and the Bills looked like the better in the first 4 weeks. But the Titans really bullied a really good Bills' team.
I don't hate the Texans this week, but I don't think they have the tools to stop this stout Titans' offense. The Titans love to run the ball and keep you honest with some passes. And make no mistake, they love running the ball. But they are just as deadly through the air. That what makes this team so tough to defend! Get plowed through by Derrick Henry or let one of the league's most effective passing attacks beat you?
Prediction - I love how good the Titans has been on offense, but that defense has some serious questions to it still. I think Texans will fair okay early, but I fully expect the Titans have this game put away before the 4th quarter. Titans by double digits!
Ravens at Eagles -
Eagles came close last week from beating the Steelers, but much like last season they are pretty banged up. Even at full strength, I don't believe there are many teams that can beat the Ravens. Lamar Jackson isn't having as good of a season as he did in 2019, but he is still an excellent QB.
The Ravens are still an amazing rushing team and can break out off the yards in bunches. That what makes this offense so dangerous. One tiny miscue by the defense and one of their skillful playmakers can be off to the race. That is including their running QB in Lamar Jackson. I am not as worried about them through the air, but they are imrproving that aspect of the offense, though. The Eagles are just banged up and not really that good, in my opinion. You can't sit here and tell me that this Eagles team is a serious super bowl contender. I think when healthy, they are alright but just anothe team out there. They keep games close, but I don't believe that they can put quality teams away.
Prediction - Give me the Ravens in this one. They are the better team, regardless of health!
Browns at Steelers -
Might one of the best matchups in week 6 and this one will be huge when deciding the division. In the AFC North, the top 3 teams all have won 4 games. Steelers would go in week 7 with the sole lead, if they win. And the Brown would make it a three-tie in the division. This matchup also features the league top rushing offense and a top 3 rush defense. Something gotta give!
I think the Steelers are a little overrated on offense, but that defense is really something else. Even though, the banged up Eagles put 30 points on them last week. That front 7 is really stout and you could say that it is the best in the league. While the Browns are coming on strong. Give some credit to the Browns' coaching staff. They figured out that they were a lot better featuring their offense around the run game and not Baker Mayfield. When you have a big names like Mayfield and OBJ, I think most coaches would try to force them to make it work. The Browns understand that they don't have to be a pass-first team in a passing league. It's okay to run the ball, if that what you are great at doing! I said many times on this website, the best teams in this league are the one whose are great in at least one area. The Browns found that trait in the run game!
I think the Steelers' offense is good, but I don't think they do anything really well. They aren't great at running the ball or passing it. It is certainly more than doable and they score enough points on offense. But I don't think offense has the ceiling than it did say 3 or 4 years ago. When you knew that this offense would take off. I really don't believe that they are special enough this season to be an elite offense. I think they will have weeks where they are elite, but not on a weekly basis.
Prediction - I think this is a total tossup and I am going with the Browns. I think this Cleveland team runs the ball really well and has ran it better than any team in the league. I think they do enough to beat the Steelers, but honestly it will come down to the guys up front. Steelers could easily win this game, honestly! I got Cleveland by 2 points.
