Baltimore's the most talented, yes.
Pittsburgh's the best coached.
And Cleveland is, well, they probably have the best pocket passer which can make them dangerous any given year depending on the rest of the team.
Cincy has an exciting QB that could bring fan excitement. That new energy could give them a chance to win games they weren't winning with Dalton when everything dusted. But not this year.
Now, on to business.
Baltimore is not sweeping Pittsburgh again. I also do not see them repeating 5-1. 4-2 likely.
Pittsburgh does not have to go to Cleveland until week 17. If the Browns are done, then they could give Baltimore the division with a win. In fact, Pittsburgh CAN go 5-1 if they win this game.
It's considered taboo to go against what LJ did last year, but I'm not going against what he did last year. Any offense can be neutralized by the time of possession. In fact, SF and Buffalo did it. It's amazing when you consider their four-game stretch of running over NE, Cinci, Houston, and LAR was enough to make them an SB favorite(all teams with TOP ranked out of the top ten outside NE and they were gassed). Because before that, they weren't looking like that since week 1. It will be interesting to see how they play at places like Indianapolis, Houston, Philadelphia, and New England.
Pittsburgh went 8-8 with terrible QB play and they certainly improved the backup spot this offseason. Their defense was much better than previous years, meaning with a healthy Big Ben they are dangerous. It helps that their last five games are all winnable and there's no hard game after another. They're a 10-6 team already with a healthy Big Ben but can always win one or two more games.
Cleveland needs to be patient. the schedule didn't quite go their way. Everyone's banking on them beating the Jaguars, Giants, and Jets, but we'll see. Them facing Jacksonville right after Pittsburgh does not look good. The Steelers and Browns have been in 1-3 limbo in road games against both divisions. If that continues, the Browns(and ODB) WILL NOT beat the Giants. If the Browns are not patent, they will lose Mayfield when his contract is up or he throws a tantrum to get the hell out of there. They could go 6-10 again but feel that 9-7 is their ceiling meaning everything has to go right for them against the Jaguars, Giants, and Jets.
I think it's between Baltimore and Pittsburgh.
