Hey! Welcome back to Division talk everyone today we will be talking about the AFV North! Now, I know what you are thinking, “Are we really still doing Division Talk? The first two sucked.” Yes, we are continuing Division Talk I don’t care if you disagree this is what we are doing so deal with it but also thanks for reading. So let’s jump in to this...... together <3.

Cleveland Browns:

I’ll keep this one really short. I have nothing nice to say about this team, especially after the whole Deshaun Watson saga. If you read all the details Judge Sue L. Robinson had in her report it is HORRIFYING. I cannot believe this organization paid him $230 million after committing the crimes he committed. The fact that he will make more money in a day than most people make in a year is disgusting and the Browns should be ashamed of themselves. Nick Chubb is the only saving grace on this team because I am not too high on their defense and Amari Cooper is an obvious #1 receiving option and love him to death BUT if you have actually watched his NFL, he is great for the first half of the season then fizzles out. In my opinion the Browns will finish last in this division and there is no other way to say it.

Baltimore Ravens:

God, I hope I am wrong about this one. I really hate that I am putting the Ravens finishing 3rd in this division. It is just the offense I am not sold on. STOP! DON’T DO IT! Do not yell at me about saying that. I know what you're putting. I BELIEVE IN LAMAR! Ok, are we friends again? Great! The offense is just bleh, for pass catchers is, Rashod Bateman, Devin Duvernay and James Proche II. which one of those makes you shake in your boots? Obviously, Mark Andrews is going to be great but is Andrews’ production going to be enough to make this team a playoff team? I doubt it. At least J.K. Dobbins will be back and can take the load off of Lamar in the running game, but he has no one to throw to! We know the defense is loaded with studs, but you cannot win games if you do not put points on the board. That is the biggest question mark for the team because it’s like can the offense be effective? That is why I have them finishing 3rd in the division.

Pittsburgh Steelers:

This one is easy they have Mitch Trubisky under center. I know Kenny Pickett could steal the starting job then Pittsburgh finishes last because Mitch is the best quarterback in the NFL, and I am not going to argue about it. Steelers finish 2nd and NVP Mitch Trubisky’s legacy continues to grow.

Cincinnati Bengals:

Burrow, Chase, Higgins, Boyd and Mixon. Unbelievable offense AND they added La’el Collins and Alex Cappa to their offensive line. Everyone’s complaint was “ThE bEnGaLs DoNt HaVe An OfFeNsIvE lInE” well now they added a guy who was a big part of one of the best O-line’s in football in Dallas and a super bowl champion to their line so SHUT UP! Their defense was good enough to get them to the super bowl last season so who’s to say they won’t do it again? Exactly this team is good, and they win the division. I want to say win it easily, but I am smart enough to know that things happen and it might not go as such. BUT I BELIEVE IT IN MY HEART THEY WILL WIN THE DIVISION AND I AM WRITING THE ARTICLE SO GO BENGALS!!!
