I predict Ravens will win AFC North this season. Even though they have replaced some players on that defense from last season, I think they'll remain one of the most dominant defenses in the league. Earl Thomas and Tony Jefferson are going to be a damn good combo.

I also think that Lamar Jackson is going to improve as a passer this season and open up more for that offense.

I'm just not sold on the Browns yet. Even though they added lots of talent...they still need chemistry and create a winning culture in Cleveland. Freddie Kitchens also has a lot to prove. Freddie Kitchens' next game as head coach will be his first—at any level.

They all have flaws imo.

Browns are talented but major egos and divas.
Ravens have an idiot at QB.
Steelers don't have their two best players anymore.
Bengals are just the Bengals.

I'd probably go with Pitt.

I think the opposite happens. Defenses figure Jackson out and the Ravens can't keep up with the other solid offenses in the division.

I'm a Steelers fan, but it depends on how the Browns come together. The Browns have a lot of skill position talent. If they stay healthy and mesh, they're going to be tough to beat.

I do think losing AB and Bell will be addition by subtraction for the Steelers.

He was a dogshit passer last season. His running will be more limited imo with more film on his tendencies. It feels like a season in which they’re going to fall apart completely.

If the Ravens don't win I definitely see the Steelers winning that division. Big Ben has a few more good seasons left.

The Steelers always find a way to survive.

Ravens 2019 Schedule

@ Miami- Win
Arizona- Win
@ Kansas City- Loss
Cleveland- Win
@ Pittsburgh- Loss
Cincinnati- Win
@ Seattle- Loss
New England- Loss
@ Cincinnati- Win
Houston- Win
@ LA Rams- Loss
San Francisco- Win
@ Buffalo- Win
NY Jets- Win
@ Cleveland- Loss
Pittsburgh- Win

I see a 10-6 team. Whether or not that record is good enough to win the division remains to be seen but I think they're at least good enough to make the playoffs as a WC team.

Why did you leave out Cincinnati? I’m not saying they are any good, but Pittsburgh and Baltimore are imploding and the Browns are going to frick it up like they always do. It’s a pretty bad division and anything can happen.

I fixed it. Haha I totally forgot about Cinci. They are the most mediocre team ever so I tend to forget about them.

The Bengals are AJ Green and 52 other guys. They are irrelevant. Browns shouldn’t have traded for that SugarTank at WR. Steelers lost their number one receiver, running back, and tight end.

Ravens will win it by default. People who say Lamar Jackson can’t throw are ignorant. Quick, name the top 3 receivers from the Ravens last year. Yeah exactly. Hollywood will help, but they need they need a 5’9 white slot receiver as a security blanket for him in the worst way.

Pittsburgh and Browns battle it out for the AFC North. Both start out slow, but Pittsburgh wins at home on December 1st for a one game lead in the division and both teams go undefeated the rest of the season with Pittsburgh taking the division by one game.

I think the Bengals win 3 games this year. The Ravens Win 4.

Yeah, LJ not having great receivers is the reason they ran him 17 times per game last year. Not the fact that he’s not a good passer.

If you have a young stud athlete at quarterback, why not run him? Who cares if he can’t do it when he’s 37, is he 37 now? No he’s not. Either he’ll adapt to be a complete quarterback or he’ll play out his rookie contract. It’s stupid for teams to fit a square peg in a round hole rather than playing to their strengths. His strength is being a stud runner who can hit play action passes.

But what would the Ravens know about winning with a strong running game that allows them to control the clock and unleash a stud defense, right?

The Ravens control the clock better than any team in the league.

This take is so bad.

Bengals will be one of the worst teams in the league and the AFC North is one of the deeper divisions in the league this year

When you blink and you have that young athlete in a cast sitting next to RGIII who is also in a cast and all of a sudden your QB is Josh Johnson
