Who will win the AFC North?

Question

2nd division's up now! Who do you think will win the AFC north and possibly wild card?

I'm running my own broke crappy version of Sports Center. Group consensus team will move on and eventually we'll do playoffs and superbowl. Ten points gets awarded to the person who best makes their case for the team they picked.

not to put you down J C but the colts are in the AFC south

Pittsburgh, Cleveland, Cincinnati and Baltimore are in the North

Answer 1

The steelers will win the division, Big Ben will be fine and wont miss anytime, troy polamalu is the best defensive player in the NFL, willie parker and Duce staley will give them the 1-2 punch they had last year with the BUS, Hines Ward is the best all around receiver in the league, and heath miller will be even better this year as another option for big ben, you throw in santonio holmes, cedric wilson, Quincy Morgan, and nate washington, and the receiving corps is as good as any, plus a solid 3rd down back in verron haynes, and one of the best O-lines in the game with depth, Cincinatti should win the wild card here with an early exit in the playoffs, baltimore will come in third, even with Mucknair who is to old and is overrated, the ravens as a team are getting too old. and for the browns there just to young and have to many injuries to work through, but dont feel too bad brownies you will jump ahead of cincinatti and b more in 2 years, but will never catch the Steelers, PITTSBURGH WILL REPEAT!!!

Answer 2

Well not the browns because there not close enough to the pack. No one is proven on that team. Ravens are to old ray lewis doesnt scare any one any more. Mcnair is still injury prone, there line needs to be revamped. The bengals D has too many holes. They cant stop the run and every team in the afc north can run. The bengals relied on turnovers way to much last year. They would need a similar type of year. Carson Palmer is still rehabing after his Kemo treatment, the bengals cant win without him. The steelers lost randel his 400 yds and his 7 trick plays a year. They should be fine apprently cedric wilson was an all state qb in high school so he can throw. They also lost kemo but they have his back-up ready. Ben is hurt but based on the reports on espn he should be fine. The Steelers are a hard nose team and they didnt lose any real pieces, as long as they keep there swagger they will the afc north and maybe the superbowl.

Answer 3

The Baltimore Ravens will win the AFC North this year. They made a huge move by signing Jim Fassel as the new offensive coordinator last year. In the off season, he was able to acquire some actual talent! With their massive O-line, Jamal Lewis and Mike Anderson will provide a very dangerous 1-2 punch. Adding Air McNair to the offence will stretch out the defence and let the running game get going this year. With their defence, that is all they are going to need. With respect to the other teams in that division, both Cincinati and Pittsburgh have QB's coming back from some pretty horrendous injuries. Even if they do get healthy, both teams will have much harder schedules this year than last year while Baltimore gets to play all of the weaker teams. And Cleveland? Well, they're Cleveland - enough said.

Answer 4

Bengals -- Palmer will prove to have recovered fully from his injury. Chad will get back to football with some of his endzone antics being made illegal and with Hushmanzadah (whatever) right behind him. Rudi is ready to have a break out season. Defense still awesome with another year of experience behind them. I don't see this division being one of the best, which bodes well for the Bengals' record.

Wild Card will go to an AFC West team.

Answer 5

Ravens. They finally have a proven winner at quarterback. This will keep their defense fresher during the season. The Steelers were on a roll but I believe in Karma and Ben R. isn't going to be as good with his injury and the Bengals have Palmer coming back from major surgery and their defensem wont lead the league in turnovers again.

Answer 6

Good question.

Bengals.

Pittsburgh lost some talent, Ben's accident, and they were flat in the SB, etc.
Browns are just...well, they aren't bad, but they aren't great either.
Ravens? Eh.
If Palmer can stay healthy (*suppressed.chuckle*) then it's going to be the Bengals taking AFCN.
It's going to be an interesting division to watch.

Answer 7

steelers will win the AFC north and the colts will win the wild card.
