GERRY DULAC’S WEEK 6 FORECAST

-

Cleveland Browns (4-1) at Steelers (4-0): 1 p.m. … This is the first time the Steelers will play a team with more than one victory. The Browns have won four in a row and averaged 37.5 ppg in that streak, but they have lost 16 in a row at Heinz Field. Can they change their luck? Prediction: Steelers, 28-24

Cincinnati Bengals (1-3-1) at Indianapol­is Colts (3-2): 1 p.m. … The Bengals did a good job keeping Lamar Jackson in check last week, but they will get an entirely different type of QB against the Colts. Philip Rivers is starting to look his age, but he will still do have enough to beat rookie Joe Burrow. Prediction: Colts, 26-16

Baltimore Ravens (4-1) at Philadelph­ia Eagles (1-3-1): 1 p.m. … The Ravens have the NFL’s largest point differenti­al (plus-73), which means they don’t just beat teams, they stomp ’em. That banged-up Eagles line better keep Carson Wentz upright or it might turn into the City of Smotherly Love. Prediction: Ravens, 31-20

Chicago Bears (4-1) at Carolina Panthers (3-2): 1 p.m. … Not sure which team is more surprising — the Bears, who came back from a 13-point deficit vs. Tampa Bay and finally beat a team with a winning record; or the Panthers, who have three in a row with new hero Teddy Bridgewate­r. Prediction: Panthers, 26-24

Detroit Lions (1-3) at Jacksonvil­le Jaguars (1-4): 1 p.m. … First it was Houston’s Bill O’Brien. Then it was Atlanta’s Dan Quinn. How long before Matt Patricia gets ousted in Detroit. It might not be long if the Lions lose to the Jaguars, who have allowed at least 30 points in losing four in a row. Prediction: Lions, 30-28
