It looks like the AFC is pretty even with all 4 divisions having at least 1 very good team and 1 good team along with 2 hopefuls. East Pats, Jets, North Steelers, Ravens, South Colts, Jags, West Chargers, Broncos. The NFC is a toss-up as well with the one dominating Eagles team in a class by themselves.

As usual, all up in the air. You could do worse than just betting the outsider in every Division, you would certainly get a better run than years ago although the books are learning.
I am going nap on The Bengals this Year and I am sorry to disagree with you RPM, but your Ravens look cooked. The last couple of years, they have had the opportunity to go all the way, great D, great ST and a weak Division, but I feel they have lost their chance. Besides the inability to get a passing game, they now are starting to lose key players and injuries are seeming to become common place. The Browns have finally got rid of Davis, but now have to evaluate what the problem was, which will take at least a year. That leaves the enigmatic Steelers. Its too early to go into why I think they might be in trouble this year but suffice to say, there is plenty of reasons. That leaves a Bengals Team that was much injured last year, yada yada ya.
Its all about prices and The Bengals offer the best value at the moment. Odds of 66/1 for the Superbowl, to me equate to 8/1 for the Division, which is far too big this time of the Year.

It doesnt matter whether We think Davis was the problem or if the players under-achieved, bottom line was, it didnt work. All the un-cluttering is going to take at least a year.
As good as The Ravens management has been over recent Years, things have just not worked out, and a couple of gambles havent come off. Still no passing game, dodgy QB, Off-Line beginning to falter, D-Line not having consistancy of recent years, Lewis slowing, Special Teams going downhill.
Steelers made hay with a running game against foe with problems against the run. Bettis will be gone , Staley is as good as gone, Haynes will not carry a load, watch that secondary now that it hasnt a lead to fall on.
So, with a process of elimination, The Bengals. How hard was that to figure.
