Almost all of the buzz around the AFC North this offseason has been about the Cleveland Browns. The Browns have received a ton of media attention due to the splashy acquisitions they made this offseason, headlined by Odell Beckham Jr. The Pittsburgh Steelers have received pretty much only negative press, whether it's about Antonio Brown or Le'Veon Bell leaving.

It might work to the Steelers' advantage to finally be the underdogs in the division, and for the following reasons, they'll win the AFC North in 2019.

3. The Browns are overhyped

The Browns are already large favorites to win the division at most sportsbooks. They've received endless praise from the media for all the moves they've made, and it's the first time in a long time they'll enter a season with lofty expectations. \

This team isn't used to having these kind of expectations placed on them, and the hype has gotten way out of control. They'll wilt under the added pressure, and won't be nearly as good as people are suddenly expecting them.

The Browns' resurgence is a nice story, but they're now being overvalued, and it'll help the Steelers to get some of the heat taken off. Cleveland won't be able to get over the hump this year, and the Steelers will remain the top dog in this rivalry for at least another year.

2. The Steelers still have very talented receivers

Most of the talk about why the Steelers will regress next year centers on the Antonio Brown trade. Yes, Brown is a big loss, but Pittsburgh's receiving corp will be just fine.

JuJu Smith-Schuster has emerged into one of the best receivers in the league, and the Steelers just made a sneaky good pickup with Donte Moncrief. They still have a Hall of Fame quarterback throwing to them, and there's been a massive overreaction to the Brown news.

One receiver, no matter how good they are, doesn't make or break a roster of 53 players. Smith-Schuster has shown he's more than capable of carrying the load as a number one receiver, and I expect him to continue to shine in 2019.

1. Pittsburgh got extremely unlucky in 2018

Everyone views the 2018 season as somewhat of a disaster for Pittsburgh, but that's not really the case. They still had some really good moments, like finally beating the Patriots. They showed they still had the talent to hang with anybody, they just got really unlucky at times.

The Steelers had to play a really difficult schedule last year, which will get a lot easier this year. The season wasn't that terrible, and they were one win away from winning the division still.

If any number of bad breaks had gone their way, they would've been hosting a playoff game in the first round. Whether it was Chris Boswell slipping during his game-winning field goal attempt against the Oakland Raiders, or blatant officiating blunders in the game against the New Orleans Saints, the Steelers consistently got the short end of the stick in 2018.

Their luck will regress to the mean, and things will swing back the other way for them. With more balls bouncing their way, the Steelers will win the division just like they very easily could've in 2018.
