NFL Previews: AFC North

2008 Standings
Pittsburgh 12-4
Baltimore 11-5
Cincinnati 4-11-1
Cleveland 4-12


2009 Predictions
Cleveland Browns


It doesn't matter if Brady Quinn or Derek Anderson is at the helm, the Browns are going to flat out suck this year. I have a feeling that even though Quinn won the starting job, he is a couple of mistakes away from being benched. And what sucks even more for Quinn is that he really has no one to throw too. Kellen Winslow is gone, Donte Stallworth suspended for killing someone and Braylon Edwards has forgotten how to catch. Also, Jamal Lewis has been more than productive than I ever thought he would be, but I feel like the mileage is finally going to bite him and he will be hurt for a majority of the year.

Prediction: 3-13

Cincinnati Bengals


I like the Bengals this year. I really do. But they are a big what if team. If Carson Palmer can stay healthy, Ochocinco can go back to form he was 2 years ago, if Chris Henry really has a coming out party their offense will be all set. However, football includes two sides of the ball and even with additions of rookie Rey Maualuga and veteran Roy Williams their defense is laughable. And in this division where the top two teams are defense driven the Bengals are in line for another disappointing season.

Prediction 7-9

Baltimore Ravens


The Ravens had a break out season last year led by rookie Joe Flacco and that unbelievable defense. And Nothing wil change this year. The only problems I foresee is the Ravens offense. They Have Willis McGahee, Ray Rice and recently unretired Derrick Mason, and that is about it. The Ravens defense will be great and angry as always but they will take a step back from last year.

Prediction: 10-6 Wild Card

Pittsburgh Steelers


The Champs will return to the field with relatively the same roster. The only person that Pittsburgh lost was Larry Foote and they are replacing him with more than ready Lawrence Timmons. The Steelers also will have Rashard Mendenhall and Limas Sweed one year older, and that will only help them. Their Defense will be great, their offense will be great, and no one can think differently.

Prediction: 13- 3
(DP's prediction to represent the AFC in the superbowl)
