AFC North Winners Odds
AFC North Preview
Baltimore Ravens
It’s not about whether the Ravens win the AFC North, but whether they win the Super Bowl. There’s no talk about their quality because they are still one of the top 5 teams in the NFL. All this team needs is a bit of luck in the playoffs, nothing more than that. They have kept their roster intact, with all the key players still present.
Pittsburgh Steelers
The question here is how much can Aaron Rodgers play? Can he be healthy until the end of the season, and deliver at least 70% of what he had in the past? If he does that, DK Metcalf and the rest of the boys will be one heck of an offense. Defense is already excellent, and they now have Jalen Ramsey instead of Fitzpatrick. That’s an upgrade.
Cincinnati Bengals
One question lingers here, just like in the previous case. Only the name here is Joe Burrow. On the other hand, we didn’t see that the team improved its defense, which was one of the worst in the league at times. EDGE Shemar Stewart was drafted as the 17th overall pick, but still, he just MIGHT improve the defense. Therefore, everything here will revolve around Burrow and the offense.
Cleveland Browns
We respect the Browns franchise, but they are terrible right now. That is, their QB position is terrible, again with all due respect. Joe Flacco and Kenny Pickett aren’t playoff material, and even though there are some talented guys on the roster, the Browns will be hammered at the bottom of the division.
AFC North Predictions
The Ravens are the top dogs on the block, but the Steelers might have a shot here. If Rodgers stays healthy. Cinci’s chances are slim, and we aren’t even mentioning the Browns.
