As per the thread title, who do you suspect might surprise by winning a division?
I have my eye on the Steelers as having a good chance to win the AFC North.
They feel like they have a much better roster than the last few years so should put up a winning record, Ravens have a lot of change from last year and have to play a 1st place schedule, who knows on the Bengals following Burrows injury, Browns got worse by having Watson at QB again.
I’d laugh if it was the Brotherfucking Cheatriots. Not that I wish them any success. But those douches went all in after Brady retired and got Mahomesed. I’d laugh if it goes back to same as it ever was.
But seriously. Fuck all things Masshole and Brotherfucking Cheatriot fuckbag. [Reply]
I'll go with the Titans. They finished 6-11 last year, so it would qualify as a surprise. They seem to have gone "all-in" this offseason, placing a bet on Will Levis to be a good QB on a rookie deal. They also get a last-place schedule. Texans get a first-place schedule and seem likely to come down to earth a little. Colts are gonna roll with a QB who gets injured about every other play. Jaguars seem like they peaked in 2022 and it wasn't that great. [Reply]
I’ll take the Falcons in the South, but they’ll have an early exit in the postseason and wish they had another offensive playmaker or difference maker on defense.
The 8th pick looms large to end their season. [Reply]
