Steelers Legend Picks Ravens for AFC North Title
The AFC North is shaping up to be one of the most competitive divisions in the NFL, and one Steelers legend has made his prediction for the division winner.
Former Steelers linebacker, James Farrior, recently appeared on the "The Pat McAfee Show" and declared that he believes the Baltimore Ravens will win the AFC North.
Farrior's prediction is based on the Ravens' strong roster and their recent success against the Steelers. The Ravens have dominated the Steelers in recent years, winning nine of their last ten matchups.
"I think they are going to be the team to beat in the division," said Farrior. "They have all the pieces in place, and I think Lamar Jackson is going to have a big year."
Why Farrior Picks the Ravens
Farrior points to a number of factors that lead him to believe the Ravens will win the division. He highlights the team's offensive firepower led by Lamar Jackson, who remains a threat to defenses with his ability to both run and pass.
The Ravens' offensive line has also improved significantly, allowing Jackson more time to throw the ball and creating more opportunities for their running backs.
On defense, the Ravens boast a strong unit that has been among the league's best in recent years. They have a talented secondary and a ferocious pass rush that can disrupt any offense.
The Steelers' Challenge
The Steelers will have their work cut out for them if they want to win the division. The team is facing a number of challenges, including a rebuilding offensive line and a defense that struggled at times last season.
While the Steelers have a strong history of success in the AFC North, they will need to improve significantly if they want to contend for the division title.
A Tight Race
While Farrior has picked the Ravens, the AFC North is expected to be a close race. The Cincinnati Bengals, led by star quarterback Joe Burrow, are also a strong contender. The Browns, with their talented roster, will also be in the mix.
It will be an exciting race for the division title, and fans are in for a thrilling season of AFC North football.
