For the past couple of seasons, the Cincinnati Bengals have been a contender in the AFC as they’ve managed to make a Super Bowl appearance as well as another AFC Championship game.
The Bengals have a talented young offensive core headlined by Joe Burrow and Ja’Marr Chase that can hang with the best of the best in the NFL.
Cincinnati has already proven that they can win in high-pressure moments and most are expecting them to once again be one of the few title contenders in 2023.
While the Bengals are the current betting favorites to win the AFC North, the rest of the division has only gotten better.
The Baltimore Ravens revamped their offense, while the Cleveland Browns and Pittsburgh loom as wild cards as well.
In fact, Chris Brockman and TJ Jefferson both are picking against Cincinnati to capture the division title via The Rich Eisen Show.

Both Brockman and Jefferson have the Bengals finishing third which was quite the hot take when looking at their previous success.
Brockman had the most surprising pick to win the AFC North as he chose the Steelers, while Jefferson went with the Ravens.
Baltimore is the projected runner-up and for good reason given the new additions to their roster and hopefully a resurgent Lamar Jackson, though Pittsburgh is hopeful that Kenny Pickett takes a leap and the defense regains its form.
Bengals fans won’t be happy with people picking against their team, but the team will have a chance to prove those doubters wrong when the new season officially begins.
