- The Bengals can definitely take the division if the line improves. Big if...but it's possible. I believe in the talent everywhere else.
- I hate to say it, but the Steelers have the best shot at taking the division. They do need Ben and Bell to stay healthy.
- The Ravens are still bad on paper and have been lacking talent for several years now. The 8-8 record was a smoke and mirrors job by Harbaugh, who is a really good coach on a bad team. Ozzie hasn't lived up to his reputation lately. They rely too much on Flacco (672 attempts!) when he's just a mediocre QB.
- Browns are a couple years away and still don't have a QB.
If I were predicting the North this year, I'd say...
Steelers: 11-5
Bengals: 9-7
Ravens: 6-10
Browns: 4-12
