Agreed. I think it's gonna be a down year for the AFC North. It will definitely be between Pittsburgh and BMore, but I don't think either one will win the Superbowl. The Patriots and Jets should probably be considered favorites in the AFC. I think the Jets might be held back by their offense though. Course in today's NFL..you never know.
Definitely true that you never know who will explode onto the scene or who will surprise you, good or bad. I'm not expecting much from the Steelers this year. They got really lucky last season. They're due for a bad year.
