2025 AFC North Betting Odds

Life comes at you quick in the NFL. One week you’re on top of the world and then, in the blink of an eye, a couple of unfortunate losses followed by a couple of key injuries can throw the entire train right off the tracks.

If you wanted yet another example of this happening in this beautiful sport, look no further than the 2025 Baltimore Ravens.

Following a heartbreaking opening loss to the Bills on Sunday Night Football, the Ravens quickly responded with a 41-17 thumping of the Browns, and it appeared as though Baltimore was back on track and well on their way to running away with their third straight division crown.

But since that point? Well, let’s just say it appears the Ravens train has come right off the tracks.

The Lions ran all over a Ravens defense that suddenly looks like it very much misses former defensive coordinator Mike Macdonald, who has the Seahawks defense playing at an elite level, and then the Chiefs came to life in Week 4 with a thorough beatdown of the Ravens at Arrowhead.

Compound the Ravens’ defensive woes with a hamstring injury to Lamar Jackson and Derrick Henry suddenly looking like a mortal human being for the first time in his storied career, and the Ravens suddenly look very vulnerable.

Before we jump into the totality of the current state of the AFC North, let’s take a quick look at how the betting odds to win the division stack up as we enter the first weekend of October.

Odds to Win 2025 AFC North Entering Week 5

Team	Current Odds to Win AFC North	Odds to Win AFC North Entering Week 3	Preseason Odds to Win AFC North
Baltimore Ravens	-140	-360	-155
Pittsburgh Steelers	+180	+750	+500
Cincinnati Bengals	+1100	+650	+260
Cleveland Browns	+1600	+6500	+3500

If you still love the Ravens to win the division and didn’t pull the trigger at the beginning of the season, you can now get them at a cheaper price than their preseason odds at -140.

However, the Ravens are also 1-3, and if Lamar is on the shelf for more than just his Week 5 matchup against Houston, one has to wonder if the combination of Cooper Rush and the 31st overall defense will be enough to keep the Ravens alive.

Meanwhile, the team that appears to benefit the most from the Ravens’ sudden plummet back to Earth is Mike Tomlin’s Pittsburgh Steelers, who boast a 3-1 record as we enter October and are fresh off an impressive victory in Dublin against the Vikings.

While Aaron Rodgers is averaging under 200 passing yards per game, the Steelers offense has still done enough in their first four games to mask the weaknesses of their own defensive unit and are in pole position to take command of the AFC North with the other three teams in the division all enduring their own set of problems.

At the very least, Mike Tomlin appears to be well on his way to prolonging his winning season streak, especially with four games remaining against the Bengals and Browns.

Speaking of those Cincinnati Bengals, any hope of Jake Browning keeping Cincy afloat after Joe Burrow went down for three months has all but evaporated, as the Bengals’ offense has looked absolutely lifeless since losing their franchise quarterback.

The magical hot streak put forth by Browning two seasons ago feels like it took place two decades ago, and it will be fascinating to see if the Bengals attempt to trade for a veteran QB currently stuck as a backup on their team’s depth chart (looking at you, Russell Wilson and Kirk Cousins).

Despite starting the season 2-0, the Bengals have the worst offense in football, and you have to be a special kind of bad on offense to stink worse than the Titans. This is even worse when you consider the weapons the Bengals have at their skill positions.

Rounding out the AFC North is a Browns team that can’t figure out anything on the offensive side of the ball and is in the middle of yet another change at quarterback, with rookie Dillon Gabriel taking over for Joe Flacco. However, on the defensive side of the ball, there may not be a better group in football, and that defense will be instrumental in keeping the Browns competitive the rest of the way.

Cleveland currently sits at 1-3 on the season, but they are not nearly as bad as everyone figured they would be. They are still long shots to win the division, but with the way this division looks as we begin October, you can’t rule them out entirely just yet.

2025 AFC North Win Totals Entering Week 5

There is no better way to understand how a division is perceived by the oddsmakers than looking at team win totals as the season goes on.

Here’s how the AFC North shakes out in the win total department following the first month of the NFL season.

Team	Current Win Totals and Betting Odds	Win Totals and Betting Odds Entering Week 3	Preseason Win Totals and Betting Odds
Baltimore Ravens	O/U 9.5 | (-145/+125)	O/U 12.5 | (+105/-125)	O/U 11.5 | (-125/+105)
Pittsburgh Steelers	O/U 8.5 | (-150/+125)	O/U 7.5 | (-135/+115)	O/U 8.5 | (-110/-110)
Cincinnati Bengals	O/U 6.5 | (+100/-120)	O/U 8.5 | (+115/-135)	O/U 9.5 | (-110/-110)
Cleveland Browns	O/U 5.5 | (-160/+135)	O/U 4.5 | (-140/+120)	O/U 5.5 | (+135/-160)

• After their Week 2 win over the Browns, the Ravens win total soared to a projected 12.5. It has since come crashing back down to 9.5 after the Lamar Jackson injury and overall play from their defense. If you think the Ravens still have time to right the ship, this could be the right time to pounce, however, it sure seems like there are a lot of red flags involving this Ravens team right now.
  
  
• The Steelers have bounced from 8.5 to 7.5 back up to 8.5, with the juice strongly favoring Mike Tomlin taking this group to at least nine wins on the season.
  
  
• After starting the season with a projected win total of 9.5, the Bengals have cratered over the last two weeks all the way down to 6.5 with the juice slightly favoring the under. It’s really hard to see Cincy turning this around if they don’t make an attempt to upgrade from Jake Browning at QB. 
  
  
• The Browns’ win total dipped all the way to 4.5 following their loss to the Ravens in Week 2, but later that weekend they pulled one of the bigger upsets of the season with a 13-10 win over the Packers and despite being blown out by the Lions in Week 4, have brought their win total back up to 5.5 with the juice strongly favoring the over. Will Jim Schwartz keep the Browns in the division race?
  

2025 AFC North – To Win Super Bowl 60 Odds

AFC North Teams – Super Bowl LX Odds

Team	Current Odds to Win Super Bowl LX	Odds to Win Super Bowl LX Entering Week 3	Preseason Odds to Win Super Bowl LX
Baltimore Ravens	+1100	+500	+650
Pittsburgh Steelers	+5500	+8000	+5500
Cincinnati Bengals	+25000	+8000	+2200
Cleveland Browns	+30000	+40000	+40000

The Ravens were the shortest favorite to win the Super Bowl entering the season and those odds got even shorter entering Week 3. What a difference three weeks can make, however, as the Ravens odds to win the Super Bowl are now set at 11-1 entering the first weekend of October.

We’d recommend holding off to see how they look in Week 5 with Cooper Rush under center against the Texans. A Houston win to send Baltimore to a 1-4 start would surely crater the Ravens Super Bowl odds even further.

Beyond Baltimore, oddsmakers aren’t giving anyone else in the division a realistic chance to win it all, with division leading Pittsburgh still tabbed as 55-1 long shots to win the Super Bowl.

The Bengals and Browns are both extreme long shots with the Bengals being tabbed at 250-1 and the Browns at 300-1.

2025 AFC North – Player MVP Odds

Outside of Lamar Jackson, the AFC North doesn’t appear to have any realistic options to win MVP this season, and Lamar’s chances to win MVP this season just took a major hit thanks to a hamstring injury that may sideline him for 2-3 weeks.

Here’s a look at how the odds stack up for the only two players in the division with a realistic opportunity to win MVP.

Players	Current Odds to Win NFL MVP	Odds to Win NFL MVP Entering Week 3	Preseason Odds to Win NFL MVP
Lamar Jackson (Ravens)	+2700	+350	+430
Aaron Rodgers (Steelers)	+15000	+6000	+7500
