| AFC North
Pittsburgh Steelers (last year: 10-6 1st in AFC North) the Pittsburgh Steelers will do what they have done for the past couple of years, win enough Games to win this division and make the playoffs. The addition of Rashard Mendenhall will make their running even better but there offensive line will really miss LG Alan Faneca. Big Ben could get sacked alot this year which could be the only reason why they dont win this division. but i think someone will step up an they will take the division. This year: 12-4 1st in AFC North
Cleveland Browns (last year: 10-6 2nd in AFC North) The Browns last year surprised everyone with their potent offense but this year is a year of questions, was Derek Anderson just a fluke or is he for real? will going from having zero nationally broadcasted games to 5 put to much pressure on this team? i say that they can live up to the hype but wont be able to beat out Pittsburgh for the AFC North title however they can give Tennessee and the Jets a run for that second wildcard spot. This year: 11-5 2nd in AFC North
Cincinatti Bengals ( last year: 7-9 3rd in AFC North) The bengals have way too many problems too actually compete in the tough AFC. there offense is explosive and can score at any time with receivers like Chad Johnson and T.J. Houshmandzadeh. However their defense is not good enough and you cant win every game by just out scoring your opponents so they will not win very many games this year. This Year: 7-9 3rd in AFC North
Baltimore Ravens (last year 5-11 last in AFC North) The Baltimore Ravens have the defense to be very good but their Offense is lost. right now their QB situation is very unstable and if a team doesnt have a QB they cant win. they could go through as many as 3 starting QB's this year and will probably end the year with Rookie Joe Flacco starting and playing all right. However by the time they figure out who to start it will be too late for them too even compete. This year: 3-13 last in AFC North.
