Not much changing in this division. Whats your thoughts.

Pitt 12 4 Big Ben stays healthy and is on a passing frenzy this year. Defense plays tough and good coaching.
Balt 11 5 good all around team but Flacco just can't be more than ordinary
Cinci 10 7 They get a little better this year but with a tough division this is there limit
Cleve 3 13 Trent can only help them so much. They are still a big mess.

I don't like Pitt to win the division but I'm torn between Balt and Cincy to unseat them.

I think you're high on all the records except Cleveland.

10-7 wins the division.

Okay first I see the top three spliting games this year. So Bengals, Steelers and Ravens will be 1 and 1 vs. each other. Thats two losses each. Cleveland may surprise some and win one they should not.

Net, I don't see a 12-4 season this year winning the division. I could see maybe an 11-5, but I just don't see a dominant team this year. I do think the other WC will come from this division. So two teams into the playoffs.

I also think while Pittsburgh addressed some issues, they still have holes. Same for Baltimore. I see a very close year with both, and Cincy could shock one of them.

SO, I will say Baltimore wins(assuming flaco and Rice play and don't hold out) and Pittsburgh wins WC. 10-6 for both, or maybe 11-5 for Baltimore.

Big Ben may have a resurgence.......but more passing won't equal more wins. This is a team that is aging on defense and I think caught in a transition. They will be the team that makes the biggest turn in this division. I see 8-8 from Pitt.

Baltimore is still the class of this division and should win it. I could see 12 wins from them.

Cincinnati will be better this year, but it may not mean many more wins. That said, I don't see them sliding much either. 9-7 or 10-6....I'll be a homer and error on the side of optimism....10-6.

Cleveland is still a mess; but I think they get a few wins late in the year that get them to 5-11.

So:
Baltimore - 12-4
Cincinnati - 10-6**wildcard
Pittsburgh - 8-8
Cleveland - 5-11
