They will win the division, they did it last year and are a better team this year. The Bengals are a much better team with their signings and draft picks this year. The D-line will be improved, key players injured last will be back on the defense. They have playoff experience they have long needed, so they will handle the big games better this year. The offense will be better, as the team is getting used to each other, that is with Carson back by game 3.
I think they have a real chance at going to the superbowl and winning, but that depends on the team's health status.

Hard to tell at this point. First, you have the Carson Palmer situation. He may not be ready until the first game of the reg. season, but mentally, will he be ready then? How will he react when he gets hit for the first time? That devastating injury he suffered will be in his mind for a while. In crunch time, when a DE is closing in on him, will he stand, make the throw and take the hit, or fall down to avoid it? Time will tell. They have also had off-season problems with arrests. This shows a lack of discipline and focus. They have the talent, it is more mental now. Are they ready to make that next step, or are they not there yet. Only time will tell.

Second in AFC North, behind Steelers. If Carson is as scared as he seems to be, They won't even get a wildcard. Hell they may even end up behind the Ravens, in third. A scared quarterback who is looking at D-lineman coming at him instead of focusing downfeild, will make mistake after mistake.

BrotherMicheal makes a good point. Physically he may be ready Marvin thinks he is now and so do the docs. But mentally he is afraid. And as a QB, that isnt good.
Well it is for me, put him in there, let him throw up his panic passes for easy pickin!
Steelers win division, lose to Colts in playoffs.

Third place. The Steelers are there and the Ravens will be much improved.

Depends on if the rest of them can stay out of prison.

Depends. Are any of them coming off parole?
