The Ravens can lock up the AFC North by Week 14 if they get a little help and win their own games. One of the things that need to happen is for Pittsburgh to lose both in Week 12 and 13. That means losing to Cincinnati this week.

Granted, the Bengals have yet to win a single game and the Steelers’ defense has been playing significantly better as the season has worn on. But in the AFC North, there are absolutely no guarantees, especially when one team is as desperate for a statement win to potentially save jobs like Cincinnati is right now. Add to it the suspension of center Maurkice Pouncey and an injury to wide receiver JuJu Smith Schuster and you have the recipe for an upset brewing.
