Time to take a look at the AFC North. The Ravens and Steelers finished with 12-4 records in 2011, and the Ravens took the divison due to head to head tie breaker. Since it should come down to those two teams again The Sports Den is going to flip a coin to decide the division winner, and the winner is……..

                     
                               AFC North Finals Standings – 2012  

1. Pittsburgh Steelers – The Steelers won the coin flip and is The Sports Den’s pick top win the division. Another reason is they will survive the two brutal games they play against the Ravens, and come out on top in the tie breakers.
Prediction: 11-5

2. Baltimore Ravens –  Lost the coin flip so that mean they will come in second. Will go toe to toe with the Steelers, but come up a little short in the tie breakers.
Prediction: 10-6 

3. Cincinnati Bengals –  The Bengals finished third in the division with a 9-7 record that was good enough to get them in the playoffs. The Bengals will still have problems beating the Steelers and Ravens out for the division, another third place finish is likely.
Prediction: 9-7

4. Cleveland Browns – The Browns finished the 2011 season losing six in a row to finish with a 4-12 record. Rookie Brandon Weeden, turns 28 in Oct., takes over at QB, and Trent Richardson is in at RB, but won’t make much of a difference.
Prediction: 3-12   

Next: AFC South
