Prediction of all 8 NFL divisions for the 2024 season

It seems to be a make-or-break year for this version of the Bengals, if only because we're not sure if Joe Burrow will ever have two receivers like Ja'Marr Chase and Tee Higgins on the field at the same time again. The Baltimore Ravens could take a step back after losing some talent and coaching on defense, and the Cleveland Browns may or may not go down based on Deshaun Watson's play. The Pittsburgh Steelers have an excellent defense, but can their offense overcome the doubts? Right now, the Bengals seem to have the best chance to emerge from the AFC North and compete in the playoffs.

PLAYOFF FORECAST: Defeat in the AFC Divisional Round

We predict that the Bengals will beat the Jacksonville Jaguars in the AFC Wildcard round and then lose on the road to the Houston Texans in the Divisional round.

We also have the Ravens, who came in as the number seven seed and lost to the Texans in the wild card round.
