Along with the overall division predictions, CloudZeroSports Betting will be reviewing each division as well! In this article, we will be going over player props and over/under lines for every team.
Cincinnati Bengals (O/U 11.5)
Joe Burrow and the Cincinnati Bengals will once again be a phenomenal team. Their explosive and dynamic offense will take them deep into this year. The defense should be outstanding and will help Burrow get the ball back into his hands as quickly as possible. As long as they have Burrow and he is healthy, this team will contend for another Super Bowl. However, since Burrow is questionable for the start of the season, it might hurt the win total. Back to last year, Burrow wasn’t playing the best ball the first few weeks due to that preseason injury. I believe they go right at 11 wins this season. They have a respectable and tough schedule to battle for that number 1 seed. I believe the Bengals will be 1st in the division, but I don’t think this will be easy. However, with Joe Burrow leading the charge, he can take them to another division title and maybe another Super Bowl run.
Under 11.5 (Notable games to look for Chiefs, Bills, 49ers, Jags, and Vikings)
Look for Burrow to have a 4000-yard passing and 30+ touchdown passes this year
Baltimore Ravens (O/U 10.5)
The Baltimore Ravens will have a challenging task in the 2023 season. They will be facing some very good teams, and Lamar’s problem of accurately throwing the ball will not help this team. Again, they will have to get it done with the ground game, which finished 2nd in the league last year. They seem to me a little one-dimensional, but they still win games. I believe they will win roughly 9-10 games this year, so I will be taking the under. Even though they have a healthy Lamar, it will not be enough to win the division. I believe they finish 3rd in the AFC North.
Under 10.5 wins (Notable games to look for Lions, Chargers, Jags, 49ers, and Dolphins)
Pittsburgh Steelers (O/U 8.5)
I understand the hype, but believe me, it is preseason. Are there things to look forward to? Absolutely, but this is a tough division. Kenny Pickett enters his second season as the undisputed starting quarterback. The question is, can he lead this team, and will the offense score points? The scheduling helps this team tremendously. I believe the Steelers will score points with Pickens, Friermuth, Johnson, Warren, and Harris. Najee looked great towards the back half of the year since he took the plate and screws out of his foot. Another question: Is the offensive line going to hold up its end? I think they will. They drafted a well-rounded class to help them with their depth. The Steelers are a very sneaky sleeper team that will be dangerous come playoff time. On the other side of the ball, this Steeler’s defense might be one the most talented in a long time, which will help this team to many wins this year. I believe they have a great shot to make some noise in playoffs this year, just like they did in 2009. One last point: Remember the Steelers and how they finished the year. Mike Tomlin was 5-8 going into the last four weeks, ending the year 9-8. Tomlin knows how to rally his guys and steer them in the right direction. Even when they face adversity, they seem like they find a way. With the 8th easiest schedule in the league, I am taking the Steelers to make some noise and finish 2nd in the division.
OVER 8.5 (Notable games to look for 49ers, Jags, and Patriots)
Najee 900.5 yards, seems to me they are using a dual back this year, take the under
Pickett 17.5 Passing Touchdowns, take the over, lot of play makers to distribute the ball
Look for TJ Watt to have another DPOY award
Cleveland Browns (O/U 9.5)
Will the Cleveland Browns be a sneaky team? Is Watson finally going to return to form? A lot of questions to answer here for this year, and to be in this division is no joke. It doesn’t look too great hearing how Watson is doing in preseason and practices. Don’t get me wrong; the Browns will win games and be no pushover like they have been the last two decades. Great talents like Nick Chubb, Myles Garrett, Elijah Moore, Amari Cooper, and Denzel Ward certainly help. It will get the fans rooting for them again, but I don’t think it will be enough to get them in the playoffs. They seem to be very close, but I don’t see it this year. The main question is the quarterback play. Don’t get me wrong, they have a very talented team, but is it enough to pass the rest of the AFC North? The Browns will have a chance to make some noise, but with the divisional games and facing some tough opponents, I see 7 or 8 wins.
Under 9.5 wins (Notable games to look for 49ers, Broncos, Jags, Jets, Bears)
Chubb to have over 1300+ rushing yards
Watson over Passing Yards 3,625.5+ (be losing or in close games)
