AFC North
Cincinnati Bengals (10-6)
They could potentially go 11-5 or 12-4 but I think Andy Dalton is on his way out. He’s got the weapons and he just can’t make the plays needed to win. Their defense is there but is it really that good? I don’t think so. However, this division will come down to week 17 when the Bengals host the Ravens for the division crown.
Cleveland Browns (3-13)
Without Josh Gordon, their quarterbacks are going to prove that they belong as backups or in the CFL. They have a nice run game and their defense is decent but I see the defense getting shredded on the ground. Their schedule is tough and I think know how many games they’re going to be able to win.
Baltimore Ravens (9-7)
They’ll get some early season losses because of the lack of firepower on offense. Plus, the toughness of their 2nd half schedule won’t help. Especially, against the Bengals in week 17 to try and win the division.
Pittsburgh Steelers (7-9)
Despite all of their talent, this is the year that the Steelers get a nice spot in the draft to build for their defense. They’ve got suspensions and injuries holding them back, especially in the first month or two of the season.
