The Baltimore Ravens<\/a> and Detroit Lions<\/a> have won the AFC and NFC North in each of the past two seasons, but can they keep that streak alive?<\/p>\n

The Cincinnati Bengals<\/a> and the Pittsburgh Steelers<\/a> each have a shot to challenge the Ravens. Both those teams are polar opposites as the Bengals sport a young, prolific offensive attack, while the Steelers rely on their defense and signed Aaron Rodgers<\/a> to be a game-managing quarterback. The Cleveland Browns<\/a> are in a rebuild period with a pair of exciting rookies in Dillon Gabriel<\/a> and Shedeur Sanders<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The Lions’ crown could be taken by the Green Bay Packers<\/a>, who have made the playoffs in each of Jordan Love<\/a>‘s first two seasons as the starter. Will the Minnesota Vikings<\/a> use this season to develop young signal-caller J.J. McCarthy<\/a> or contend for the division title like last season? And will Chicago Bears<\/a> new head coach Ben Johnson turn the glimpses Caleb Williams<\/a> showed into consistent production?<\/p>\n

Here’s what the “First Things First<\/a>” crew had to say, predicting how things could shake out in Wednesday’s episode.<\/p>\n
