Who wins the AFC North?

[YoloinOhio]

We finally have the Watson decision so we can make an informed prediction 

 

we’ve already done AFC South, AFC West, NFC East, NFC North, NFC South

[FireChans]

I could really see Cincy taking a step back and missing the postseason IMO.

 

 

buuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuut I have zero faith in Mitch, whoever the ***** is playing backup in Cleveland, and I could see the Ravens attempt 50 passes on the year, so I still picked Cincy.

[YoloinOhio]

I picked ravens but I’m not convinced. Could be bengals. 

[HappyDays]

Bengals. Burrow is the best QB in the division, he and Chase are entering their 2nd year together, and they plugged some holes on the OL. I'm not buying the narrative that they made it to the brink of winning the Super Bowl on luck alone.

[Warcodered]

Don't trust the Ravens, or Steelers, and the Browns are *****, it's the Bengals as far as I can see.

[Donuts and Doritos]

Definitely Bungles. They were an O-line away from winning the SB last year & upgraded O-line. They're a true threat to contend for a SB (along w/ Chargers & KC) IMO.

[Southern_Bills]

I'm not sure the Bengals will be a "contender" but they will still be the class of the North. 

 

Outside chance JK Dobbins comes back on a high level and him and Lamar kill it, but that only gets you so far.

[Ethan in Cleveland]

Ravens. They were winning the division going away until they were decimated by injuries

[LeGOATski]

I give the Ravens the edge if they're healthy

[GoBills808]

Ravens

[GunnerBill]

Ravens stay healthy they take it. 

[BillsFan130]

I want to say Baltimore, but will take the best QB in the division and will say Bengals

That's a wash for me. Baltimore has the better coaching.

 

It's not like Jackson doesn't put up big numbers in that system.

You make good points Chans.  I know Cincy tried to improve their line and they have great skill players, but they also played a banged up Mayfield last year, a banged up Ravens team, and the Steelers are toast as was Ben.

 

I just see a healthy Baltimore with going back to their 2019 roots in lots of 12 and 13 personnel.  Lamar shined in this type of offense.  He’s no Allen or Mahomes, but for what he does now, and still has the legs for it, I think they edge out Cincy.

 

I can see a final record of:

 

Baltimore 12-5

Cincy 11-6

 

Pittsburgh 9-8

Cleveland  9-8

 

BTW, Bills 13-4 and a dog fight into week 18 for the #1 seed.  This is the scenario where we play our starters in week 18 and humiliate again the Cheats 47-17.  Oh and Mac sucks an egg again where the Cheats finish 8-9.

This division is wide open. Any of the 4 teams could win with the right breaks. I went with the Bengals. Despite an incredibly difficult schedule, I think that they’re the best team. My guess is that all of the teams are pretty close.

Cleveland and Pitt aren't in the same tier. They probably won't be terrible, but they won't be good enough, barring key injuries to the other teams.

Don’t think the Browns will win much of anything with Jacoby as their starter for the first 11 games.

Yep, and it doesn’t look like they are in the Jimmy G race anymore.  They have our division as we know, but also the NFCS.  If Winston plays like last year at 5-2, the rest of the Saints are aging, but stacked.  The Bucs are going to be tough and they have us.  The Fins may actually be good enough to beat a Jacoby led Hash Browns.

Fair points

[ALLEN1QB]

Zero chance the Bengals don't win it not even close.

Cincinnati!
