AFC North Showdown: Can the Bengals' Defense Stop the Ravens?

In this episode, the hosts discuss the highly competitive AFC North division leading into the 2025 NFL season. They highlight the strengths and weaknesses of each team, noting the Ravens' loaded roster and Lamar Jackson's potential for an MVP season, the Bengals' impressive offensive lineup but questionable defense, and the Steelers' potential underperformance despite their strong culture and recent additions like DK Metcalf and Aaron Rodgers. The Browns are largely dismissed due to their crowded and ineffective quarterback situation. The consensus is that the Bengals' defensive performance will be the critical X factor, with predictions favoring the Ravens to come out on top in the division and possibly represent the AFC in the Super Bowl.
