  1. 1. Who will win the AFC North?



Recommended Posts

I want to pick someone other than the Steelers here but I can’t. I think the Bengals will be better than last year though. Their offense is going to be pretty good imo.

 

The Ravens need to prove they can run the ball. Passing game may rebound - John Brown is a strong addition to take advantage of Flacco’s arm  (sneaky fantasy pick)

Steelers are overrated. While it's true they have the best talent on offense, they have shown time and again a complete inability to use it when it matters most. My dad is a Steelers fan and I'm always giving him crap about the fact that you know they're going to loose dumb games.

DC Butler is overrated.  If they blow another playoff game due to inept secondary/defense play, I expect to see a new DC next year.   (they should have canned him after he made Bortles looks like a pro-bowler).

that's because you live in Ohio :)

 

All AFC North fans are somewhat annoying (except perhaps Bengals fans?)

They finished 11th last season from an abysmal 31st the previous year.  They've proven it.  To me, their issue is they didn't have a passing game to complement what they did on the ground.  The other big item for them which I think they have addressed is they have to figure out what to do on defense once Jimmy Smith gets hurt.  When he's in their line up, their secondary has been very strong, but the moment he gets hurt they drop off.  I think the additions of Humphrey last year through the draft, Averrett this year and a few other pieces may help them.  Smith will be healthy for game one which is one of the reasons I'm skeptical of us pulling out a W.

 

 

I'm going with the Ravens.  I think they have the best defensive talent in the division and Joe Flacco is either interviewing for other teams or he's trying to indicate to the Ravens why they should keep him.  He'll play with a chip on his shoulder.  Yanda is healthy along with Lewis so their OL should be at full strength.

They are all annoying in their own way. I’ve yet to meet a Bengals fan who knows anything about football. Steelers fans are 1)everywhere in Ohio 2)entitled, whiny, obnoxious, etc

live on the outskirts of "stiller" country just south of erie pa..... they are insufferable. acting as though not only the franchise but they as fans are gracing the NFL and the masses with their presence. awful group to deal with. 

 

here in the tri-state area us browns and bills fans all get along and have one common interest. annoyance with steeler fans.

 

back on topic. I picked the steelers. 

 

can the media stop hyping the ravens yet? one playoff appearance in the last 5 years, I think, and every year they are a team to watch out for apparently.

Do the bengals have fans?... 

 

 

Sort of, it’s a baseball town. They wear their bengals jerseys every Sunday. But they wear them to the mall at 1pm... and don’t know the score of the game or anyone on the team besides AJ green because that’s the name on their jersey. You can tell because they still wear the jersey on their bye week. Lol. They have an intense hatred of the Steelers and those two games are the only ones they care about.

They play the NFC South, depending on how injuries shake out the next few weeks I might make a play on Baltimore. They are +400 for the division and 1600 for the conference. 

 

With an improved Browns team and a tough out of conference schedule anything can happen. The Ravens are talented enough and well coached.
