Interesting, lower-stakes match up for game 1. Home game.... Probably a make or break year for both coaches.
If they are having to "Chase" it, will they ever catch it? Better hope whatever you are chasing doesn't have 4.2 speed.Bengals Chase new era
I think I saw someone say the Steelers haven't opened at home since 2014. Long time as well.Interesting week for AFC-N teams.
Steelers at Bills
Browns at Chiefs
Ravens at Raiders (MNF)
Those are three very difficult spots. The Bills will be the favorite to win the AFC-E and a contender for the AFC. The Chiefs will be the overall favorite in the AFC (watch out for superbowl loser hangover though). The Raiders will be playing their first game in front of a crowd in Vegas (could be a huge Baltimore crowd though).
Anyway, tough week for the North. Bengals have the most favorable match up mostly due to being at home.
Yeah.... I think Pittsburgh has the same situation we do which is that the baseball schedule can sometimes impact their situation. They also share their stadium with Pitt which is probably a logistical nightmare as well.I think I saw someone say the Steelers haven't opened at home since 2014. Long time as well.
Ravens will be the only road team favored of those 3 in the division.

Very bottom heavy in terms of quality of opponent. The Baltimore, KC, @Cleveland finish is ridiculous.... On the other hand, you could make the argument that the Bengals could win 6 or more of their first 9.
If our defense is still bad with the amount of decent to good talent we have on it, I am am blaming Anarumo.Not a horrible schedule. we should be close to 8-8 and we will find out what our real weaknesses are, mostly that our defense is still not very good.
I'd place some blame on Tobin. They've added players through free agency, but only hit on a few pieces in the draft. Overall, they've let themselves get to a situation where the D was in need of a complete rebuild and that should never happen.If our defense is still bad with the amount of decent to good talent we have on it, I am am blaming Anarumo.
