Steelers 11-5
Ravens 8-8
Bengals 8-8
Browns 6-10

The steelers are still the team to beat, and they really can't be gameplanned. Pressure on Rothlesburger doesn't work when they run the ball over 130+ yards in as many games as they did last year. Hines Ward, 2 great RB's, good QB, and the best D in the league. They're staying on top of their game.

Ravens. I see their D keeping them in alot of games, but the D and ST's will have to continue to score points for them to keep winning. Not saying they won't, but you can't rely on that. Jamal Lewis is the only real offensive threat they have, and that's controllable by most of the D's they play this season.

Bengals. I like Marvin, and think the teams going to get better, but not immediately. They're gonna grow with Palmer and I have to say he needs one more year in the system before they start challenging for the division. Plus their D is a concern.

Browns. I like some of their D, and think they have some good building blocks there, but it will take more than a year to develop into something. Offensively, they don't have a lot to work with and will be lucky to win more than 6. Especially in their division. Romeo could suprise, though.
