ExtremeRavens Posted 7 hours ago Posted 7 hours ago We asked readers who will win the AFC North. Baltimore and Pittsburgh share identical 6-6 records entering Sunday’s game between the two divisional rivals. Cincinnati (4-8) and Cleveland (3-9) face longer odds to win the division. Here are the results from our online poll: Ravens — 61.7% (300 votes) Bengals — 21.2% (103 votes) Steelers — 16.1% (78 votes) Browns — 1% (5 votes) Here’s what some fans said about the AFC North race (answers have been edited for clarity and grammar): Based on the remaining schedule, the Bengals should win the division, however they will probably bungle it up. As always, injuries could change everything. The Ravens are done because every game from now on could be considered a playoff game and as recent history has shown, the Ravens’ coaches will coach scared. Not utilizing your best players like Derrick Henry is insane. Seems like he is in Monken or Harbaugh’s doghouse because of the fumbles earlier in the year. Finally, it doesn’t seem like anyone knows what’s going on with Lamar. Probably injuries or contract renegotiations bothering him. — Carl Unless the Ravens’ lackadaisical offense changes, the Ravens will be fortunate to go 2-2 over the next four games. Which leaves it all on the final game of the season in Pittsburgh. And Tomlin will save his job with another win over Harbaugh. But of course whichever team makes it to the postseason, it will be one and done. The AFC North is pitiful. — Robert The truth is that IT DOESN’T MATTER who wins the division! — Herb Hopkins Even if the Ravens beat Pittsburgh on Sunday, Baltimore has matchups against the Bengals, Patriots and Packers. Can they win two of those three? Not likely. Pittsburgh faces the Dolphins, Lions and Browns. Can Steelers win two of those three? I’m afraid so. Steelers beat the Ravens Week 18 on a Boswell field goal to make the playoffs. I desperately hope I’m wrong. — Mark It will be the Ravens, if they lock in and stop playing around. — Felipe Vargas The team that truly works hard and wants it. I’m going with the Steelers. The Ravens just don’t seem to have the desire. — Bob Noll Should be the Ravens, but will be hard to beat Pittsburgh twice. Also still have the Patriots and Packers. That 1-5 start really was a doozy! — Jason Garvert Not to jinx my boys but I’m still going with the Ravens. Nothing ever came to this team easy and this is no different. They will get the job done. We already had the losses so we will win out and then win where it counts the most. The playoffs! — Patrice Jackson It all depends on how Lamar plays. — Peter Sciukas Hopefully the Ravens, but this week’s game will determine a lot and show what the Ravens are truly capable of. They’ve been a disappointment all around this season so I’m not all that optimistic. — Tara Polson Definitely not ruling out Cincinnati. Only two games back and everybody still has to play everybody at least once if not twice. — Jonathan Dimes The winner of this division should be the Saskatchewan Roughriders. — Terry Difazio No one will win it. Everyone will finish last. — James Thomas Doesn’t matter who wins, because none of the teams are good enough to beat the other teams that will be in the playoffs. — Tracy Walter-Campbell The way this is going … the Bengals. — Michael Gibson The Baltimore Sun reader poll is an unscientific survey in which website users volunteer their opinions on the subject of the poll.
