My AFC North Rankings

No coach with any head coaching credibility would take the Browns job, it's guaranteed to be a black mark on their career because they will not overcome the ownership nightmare and the culture.

 

The betting sites love the Ravens I would take the under of 11.5 wins.

 

My top team for the over in Vegas win projections is the Steelers, my top team for the under is the Ravens. I think Ben is right when he said that the window is closing on the Ravens and LJ's production is going to start a downhill slide.

 

11.5 wins is very high but not impossible if Lamar stay healthy and their defense improve under their new coach.They won 13 games in 2023 and 12 in 2024,so they have done that before

The bengals have a higher ceilling that the steelers because of the offense...They just need their defense to be average and make some stop at the right time.Their floor is also lower that the steelers if their defense is awful again

 

We hear this every year about the Steelers are the third best team in the division, but they have hit the over in wins the last five years I think it is.

 

Bengals will be better than Steelers if Burrow doesn't get hurt.

This is common logic.

 

I pick the over in each year since at least 2022(I am less sure about this year but I think I will pick the over again),I predict 10 wins in 2022,11 in 2023 and 9-8 in the last 2 years,so I was off by one win each year but I was right for the over because it was like 8.5 everytime

For the 3rd place,they were 3rd in 2022 and 2023 and for 2024 and 2025,the bengals was a massive disappointment in both year ,same for the ravens last season.Maybe it will happens again but if this is not the case,it will be much harder to win the north again

 

I'm debating on taking the over for the Steelers.

 

If Burrow could stay healthy they could win 14. That is a big IF though. The guy is too fragile.
