Updated: Aug 11, 2023
After leading the division with 12 wins last year, the Cincinnati Bengals are once again expected to finish this season on top of the AFC North standings.
| Team | 2022 Overall | 2022 Divisional |
| Cincinnati Bengals | 12-4 | 3-3 |
| Baltimore Ravens | 10-7 | 3-3 |
| Pittsburgh Steelers | 9-8 | 3-3 |
| Cleveland Browns | 7-10 | 3-3 |
The biggest wildcard team in this division is the Cleveland Browns.
Specifically, their quarterback Deshaun Watson will be under intense scrutiny by football fans everywhere, curious to see if Watson will once again become a dominant QB in this league.
If you are a fan of hard-nosed, slug-it-out-in-the-trenches football, then you are most likely already an AFC North fan.

2023 AFC North Win Totals
Despite winning 12 games last year, the Cincinnati Bengals are plus (+) money to go Over 11.5 wins this year.
The Ravens and Browns are projected to be .500 or better, and even the Pittsburgh Steelers are offered at 8.5 wins.
2023 AFC North – Win Totals
| Team | DraftKings | FanDuel | Caesars |
| Cincinnati Bengals | 11.5 | +110 | 11.5 | +110 | 11.5 |+105 |
| Baltimore Ravens | 9.5 | -170 | 10.5 | -102 | 9.5 | -165 |
| Pittsburgh Steelers | 8.5 | -155 | 8.5 | -150 | 9.5 | +125 |
| Cleveland Browns | 9.5 | +115 | 9.5 | +108 | 9.0 | -110 |
- It isn’t very often we see a division that has four teams all projected at 8.5 wins or higher.
- Realistically, making the playoffs will come down to beating your divisional opponents.
- In 2022, each team finished with a 3-3 record against teams in the division.
2023 AFC North – To Win Super Bowl Odds
The Cincinnati Bengals were the last AFC North team to make a Super Bowl.
Two seasons ago, Joe Burrow and the Bengals lost to the LA Rams 23-20 in the year’s final game.
AFC North Teams – Super Bowl Odds
| Team | DraftKings | FanDuel | Caesars |
| Cincinnati Bengals | +1100 | +1000 | +1000 |
| Baltimore Ravens | +2000 | +1800 | +2200 |
| Cleveland Browns | +4000 | +2800 | +3500 |
| Pittsburgh | +5000 | +4500 | +6000 |
The odds variance on teams like Cleveland and Pittsburgh reminds us how important it is to shop around for your Best Odds.
The difference between betting Cleveland at +2800 vs +4000 is huge.
For a $10 bettor, that is more than a $100 difference in profit.
The gap in odds for the Steelers between FanDuel and Caesars is even bigger.
2023 AFC North – To Win Division Odds
I’m not sure I like the Baltimore Ravens at +220, but at +275, I am very interested in them winning the AFC North.
| Team | DraftKings | FanDuel | Caesars |
| Cincinnati Bengals | +150 | +130 | +125 |
| Baltimore Ravens | +220 | +250 | +275 |
| Cleveland Browns | +425 | +390 | +380 |
| Pittsburgh Steelers | +450 | +470 | +500 |
- In 2022, the Baltimore Ravens were the betting favorite to win the AFC North division, but things went sideways for them after Lamar Jackson was injured.
- Much was expected of Deshaun Watson last year. The Cleveland Browns’ odds dropped significantly once the NFL suspended Watson during the summer of last year. Before then, the Browns were expected to be a very good team and compete for the division.
- After watching Watson return late in the year and struggle, expectations in Cleveland this year are a little tapered.
- The Kenny Pickett watch in Pittsburgh is on. Is Pickett the QB who can help the Steelers compete and ultimately beat Joe B, Lamar, and Deshaun? That’s a tough ask for a second-year Pro.
2023 AFC North – Player Awards Odds
The AFC North already has two established great QBs in Lamar Jackson and Joe Burrow.
Kenny Pickett can be a polarizing topic for football fans. Some believe he was a late first-round steal for the Steelers.
Others believe Pittsburgh would have been better off passing on Pickett.
Pickett showed just enough to give his believers long-term hope but made enough mistakes as a Rookie that his doubters were also patting themselves on the back.
AFC North QBs – MVP Award Odds
| Player | DraftKings | FanDuel | Caesars |
| Joe Burrow | +750 | +700 | +750 |
| Lamar Jackson | +1500 | +1500 | +1600 |
| Deshaun Watson | +3000 | +2500 | +4000 |
| Kenny Pickett | +4500 | +4000 | +6000 |
Stop me if you have heard this before, but if Lamar Jackson can figure out a way to play all 17 games, getting him at +1600 seems like a great number.
Jackson has missed nine games over the past two seasons.
In his 2019 MVP season, Jackson had 3100+ passing yards and 1200+ rushing yards. Numbers that still seem attainable for him four years later.
Interesting AFC North Bets To Consider
At +750 with FanDuel, Nick Chubb is tied with Jonathan Taylor for the shortest (lowest) odds to win this year’s NFL rushing title.
Derrick Henry is 3rd, at +800.
- Henry has already won two rushing titles.
- JT has one rushing title.
- Last year, Chubb finished with 1,525 rushing yards, good enough for 3rd most in the NFL.
Nick Chubb is no doubt the best running back in the AFC North.
According to the odds, Lamar Jackson might be the second best.
But is he good enough to finish with more yards than JT and King Henry?
Always Shop Around
Once the NFL schedule is released, I love to dive into last year’s NFL data and analyze teams and their potential win totals.
Spending time in the data science lab and analyzing the numbers can be just as fun as watching the game action play out.
As we all spend time crunching stats and doing our homework, it’s important to remember that the single greatest edge a recreational sports bettor has against the sportsbooks is our ability to shop around.
When professional bettors are handicapping games and making decisions, they are often looking for a 3% or 5% edge in their favor.
When we source multiple online sportsbooks, we can often spot a difference in odds that represent 20% or 25% edges in our favor.
Would you rather bet the Bengals to win the AFC North at +150 or +125?
The Baltimore Ravens are +220 to win the AFC North, or as high as +275.
Imagine if every bet you won paid out an additional 20% in profit.
