"The Steelers have gone 1-7 in Cleveland since 2018 and are 0-9 in Thursday night games against AFC North rivals," PFT wrote.
"Mike McCarthy’s 16-6 record in short-week games could help the Steelers turn the page," he added.
"The Ravens’ defense should limit the Titans, who have struggled offensively," PFT said.
"The Bills could solidify the AFC East and position themselves for a top seed," he noted.
"The Seahawks received an unexpected wake-up call against the Commanders, which may aid their performance against the Chargers," PFT observed.
