Who will win the AFC North, Baltimore, Pit or Cin?
At the end of the year, I had all three power rated about 2 points better than an average team. The Steelers got hit with injuries, and the Bengals have Andy Dalton, so only Baltimore won a playoff game.
Fast forwarding to 2015, I have them rated pretty close again, with Pitt a little below Cin and Baltimore.
However, the Steelers are in BIG trouble since they made the mistake of winning the Division last year. That sets them up in a MONSTER schedule disadvantage this year:
Pitt: Indy, Ne
Balt: Jax, Mia
Cin: Hou, Buf
Baltimore gets an automatic home win in the middle of their schedule 11/15 the week after their bye when they host Jax. The game after they host the Rams. This means the black birds basically get to coast/rest the entire month of November......that will be too much for the Bengals and Steelers to over come.
What about the Browns? I keep hearing "They are still a year or two away". I am more inclined to say they are 10 or 20 years away. If you like Clev to win the Division, a better investment is to put it on a roulette number. Or Keno.......
On the capping front, I fired on two morning games, and I am now working on the late games: Stay Tuned!
