As we noted in the NFL schedule rest piece, we really have no idea how each NFL season will play out. We know how teams played last year and the quality of players that they gained and lost this offseason. As we saw with the Cleveland Browns and Cincinnati Bengals last year, injuries can play huge roles while players can surprise and coaching, like with the Pittsburgh Steelers, can overcome a lot.
Last year, multiple times it was clear that the AFC North was the best division in football.
