Welcome to Week 18 of the 2024 NFL regular season!

We have an AFC North kind of day today with the entire division finishing out their regular season on Saturday. One game in particular will be very important for Denver Broncos fans to keep an eye on, so stay tuned.

Cleveland Browns at Baltimore Ravens

Kickoff is set for Saturday, January 4, 2025 at 2:30 p.m. Mile High time at M&T Bank Stadium in Baltimore, Maryland and will air on ESPN.

According to FanDuel, the Baltimore Ravens have everything to play for and with a win will close out a division title. Thus, they are 19.5-point home favorites over the 3-13 Cleveland Browns. While I don’t know if they’ll win by 20 points, I do know they’ll win. I personally don’t like taking a spread like that in an in-division game, so I won’t with my final score prediction here.

Prediction: Ravens 31, Browns 16.

Cincinnati Bengals at Pittsburgh Steelers

Kickoff is set for Saturday, January 4, 2025 at 6:00 p.m. Mile High time at Acrisure Stadium in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania and will air on ESPN.

According to FanDuel, the Cincinnati Bengals are surprising 2.5-point favorites on the road against Russell Wilson and the Pittsburgh Steelers. If the aforementioned outcome happens in the Ravens game, then the Steelers won’t really need to win this game. The Bengals on the other hand will have their entire season on the line here. I actually think that Cincinnati comes out on top in this one and applies maximum pressure on the young, inexperienced Broncos to close it out at home on Sunday.

Prediction: Bengals 23, Steelers 19.
