2019 AFC North Division Predictions and Odds to Win
1. Pittsburgh Steelers(+195 odds at Bovada)
The Steelers failed to win double digit games and make the playoffs for the first time since the 2013 season last year. Pittsburgh went 9-7 in a season that was filled with injuries and off field drama. Gone are wide receiver Antonio Brown and running back Le’Veon Bell as the Steelers look to get their lockerroom back and everyone on the same page. That’s exactly why we like the Steelers to surprise people and be better than the experts think. Quarterback Ben Roethlisberger will have a lot to prove without Brown and we look for wideout JuJu Smith-Schuster to have a great season picking up the slack. The real reason for optimism is the improved defense. Pittsburgh has some nice young talent at linebacker with their 2018 1st rd pick T.J. Watt at OLB and their 2019 1st rd pick Devin Bush at ILB. Expect the Steelers defense to be among the Top 10 in the league.
2. Cleveland Browns(+125 odds at Bovada)
Pump. The. Brakes. That’s all we have to say on the Cleveland Browns hype train this offseason. Ya, we get it, they have a great young quarterback in Baker Mayfield and he has a top flight weapon now in former Giants wide receiver Odell Beckham. That’s all fine and dandy but has anyone taken notice of their defense? It was an absolute hot mess last season finishing 30th in the NFL in total defense and they didn’t add much in the offseason to get us excited about drastic improvement. Sure, they used their first four draft picks on defense and we like 2nd rd pick, cornerback Greedy Williams. However, his mouth is writing checks his ass probably won’t cash in his rookie season. We like the Browns to win games due to an explosive offense but their defense is going to prevent them from winning the division and possibly even making the playoffs.
3. Baltimore Ravens(+275 odds at Bovada)
The Ravens went 10-6 last season and won the AFC North Division. A lot of people think they have a shot at winning the division again this season but we aren’t buying it. Call us haters, but we just aren’t sold on 2nd year quarterback Lamar Jackson. The guy can’t read defenses or throw with the pinpoint accuracy needed to be an upper echelon signal caller in this league. Sure, we love his athleticsm and ability to make something out of nothing on broken plays. That’s where it ends though. He has a lot of improvement to do to last as the Ravens long-term starter. Defensively, the Ravens always seem to have a formidable defense. This year will be no different. They brought in former Seahawks safety Earl Thomas and he’s great when he’s not on the shelf. The guy is made out of glass so let’s see how many games he lasts this season in the physical AFC North. Baltimore will be in the hunt for a wild card due to their defense but ultimately will miss the playoffs if you ask us.
4. Cincinnati Bengals(+1600 odds at Bovada)
The Bengals have missed the playoffs the last 3 seasons and it will be 4 after this year. The good news for long suffering Bengals fans is they finally cut the cord with Marvin Lewis at head coach. Lewis was a loser who was never getting this franchise to the promised land. Not that new head coach Zac Taylor will but at least it’s some new life and ideas infused into the team. The problem for Taylor is he still has a bum at quarterback in Andy Dalton. This guy is nothing but a bum in the pocket and will lead the Bengals nowhere. Not this year. Not any year. It’s hard to envision the Bengals getting ahead of the Browns or Steelers the next couple years if this guy is still running the show in Cincinnati. Meanwhile, the Bengals defense was dead last at 32 in total defense last season. They stink and will be among the worst in the NFL again this season. Cincinnati has a lot of work to do folks. A bad football team.
