The AFC North is very weak this year. Pittsburgh and Baltimore will probably salvage some of their season. Cleveland has a fairly tough schedule ahead, including GB, KC, and NE on the road. At best, they'd be looking at a Wild Card, which is highly unlikely. 7-9 is probably a best case scenario, but they might get lucky and go 8-8.
Cleveland can not finish games. They've often been holding on to a slight lead in the 4th, but rarely seem to walk away with the win...and this isn't recent history, this is a trend dating back to 1999 when they re-entered the league. With the constant state of flux in that organization in the front office, coaching staff, and QB position, there is no foundation in place. Teams rebuild, but Cleveland has not been a real contender since the late 80's because they are constantly backpedaling.
The AFC North is Cincy's to lose.
