Baltimore Ravens (-115 odds) – Bottom line: No one is stopping Baltimore this year in the AFC North. The Ravens have a loaded defense, and even though some players like LB Ray Lewis and SS Ed Reed are aging, it feels like the team is constantly stockpiling talent through the draft. This year is no exception, as LB Sergio Kindle and DT Terrence Cody should have huge impacts. Look for the acquisition of WR Anquan Boldin to pay major dividends. Baltimore should have over 5,500 yards of offense this year as a team, and that could make it a dangerous team, not just to win the AFC North, but the Super Bowl as well.
My NFL Predictions: 13-3, 1st place in AFC North

Pittsburgh Steelers (+210 odds) – The Steelers could be in for a very long season. It is already well advertised that QB Ben Roethlisberger is sitting for the first month of the season thanks to his off the field issues. Missing the traded WR Santonio Holmes won’t help matters either. Neither will the loss of OT Willie Colon, who will miss the season due to injury. The defense should get SS Troy Polamalu back healthy, but there are still too many questions to buy what Pittsburgh is selling. Expect the ’08 champs to miss the playoffs once again.
My NFL Predictions: 7-9, 2nd place in AFC North

Cincinnati Bengals (+300 odds) – If anything comes from these drug allegations linked to RB Cedric Benson, the Bengals are going to be in a ton of trouble. The Comeback Player of the Year last season could be facing a suspension, which would put a ton of pressure on the shoulders of QB Carson Palmer. Whether it was because his receivers just weren’t great or that he has lost his touch, Palmer struggled all season last year, barely throwing for 3,000 yards. He’ll need to come a lot closer to 4,000 this year for Cincy to make any noise in division.
My NFL Predictions: 6-10, 3rd place in AFC North

Cleveland Browns (+1500 odds) – In another year’s time, the Browns might be a team to contend with. Even though this team has the longest winning streak in the NFL going right now at four games, Cleveland still knows that there is plenty of work to be done. We love the prospects of watching RB James Harrison run this year, but there isn’t a lot of talent on the rest of the team quite yet. That will change soon though, as GM Mike Holmgren is clearly changing the philosophy at the Dawg Pound. Some combination of Jake Delhomme, Seneca Wallace, and Colt McCoy should find a way to make this team respectable in 2010 by its own standards.
My NFL Predictions: 6-10, 4th place in AFC North
