Baltimore Ravens @ Green Bay Packers

1:00 pm EST, CBS

 

Preview:

In a battle of two injury-filled rosters, the odds favor the home-town Packers, who have rebounded somewhat after the loss of all-world quarterback Aaron Rodgers.  While the Packers may be depleted, they have enough talent and coaching acumen to stop the inconsistent Ravens from scoring much in a hostile environment.  Look for the Packers to run the ball, exhaust the Ravens’ defense, then pass incessantly in the second half.  It’s worked for everyone else.

 

Key players:

Ravens – DE Brandon Williams, S Tony Jefferson, RB Jevorius Allen

Packers – WR Randall Cobb, LB Nick Perry, S Ha Ha Clinton-Dix

 

 

Jacksonville Jaguars @ Cleveland Browns

1:00 pm EST, CBS

 

Preview:

This Jaguars have steamrolled the AFC North this season with timely, excellent defense and a surprisingly capable offense, and there’s no reason to expect them to alter that approach today.  Look for the improving Browns to begin the game by testing all levels of The Jaguars’ defense and then sticking with whatever works, while the Jagurs will continue to run the football heavily to establish the play action passing attack that seems to be the foundation of their success.

 

Key Players:

Jaguars – RB Leonard Fournette, WR Marqise Lee, S Barry Church

Browns – QB DeShone Kizer, LB Jamie Collins, S Jabrill Peppers

 

 

Cincinnati Bengals @ Denver Broncos

4:25 pm EST, CBS

 

Preview:

With both teams experiencing down seasons, expect a slow contest today in Denver, where the Broncos will continue to start former castoff QB Brock Osweiler and rely on a thinning defense to lead the way.  The ground-challenged Bengals should again pass heavily to WR A. J. Green and attempt, however futile it may seem, to involve rookie RB Joe Mixon as much as possible.

 

Key Players:

Bengals – Mixon, LB Nick Vigil, CB Darqueze Dennard

Broncos – Osweiler, RB Jamaal Charles, CB Chris Harris
