Good luck figuring out which team should be favored to win the AFC North in 2024.
The division, after all, just sent three teams to the playoffs and made some history by having all four finish the season with a winning record — including the injured Cincinnati Bengals at 9-8.
GMFB attempted to answer this recently now that the division is fully out of the postseason, with two of the hosts siding with a Baltimore Ravens team they think will only get better next season after an AFC title game appearance.
But another host pointed out that it’s Joe Burrow and the Bengals as the only one capable of beating the Kansas City Chiefs in the playoffs, which implies plenty of divisional success, too.
The full debate is worth a watch:

For their part, Bengals fans have plenty of reason to consider their team the favorite, given what Joe Burrow showed during his very few healthy games last year. Even without him for most of the season, the team finished with nine wins and was in it to the very end.
