2025 AFC North Betting Odds
The Ravens began the season as the presumptive favorite to win the Super Bowl and appeared to be well on their way to an impressive opening weekend road win over…
Category Ratings
They have seemingly been in a spiral ever since that point, the lone exception being when they teed off on the Browns in Week 2, and have stumbled their way out of the gates to a dismal 1-5 record.
There does appear to be light at the end of the tunnel, however, as the Ravens schedule gets significantly easier over the next five weeks. They first have to survive a suddenly feisty Bears team in Week 8 before drawing the Dolphins, Vikings, Browns, and Jets and you can see why the Ravens may not be down for long.
The Steelers meanwhile sit atop the AFC North at 4-2, but their schedule ratchets up in difficulty in the coming games with dates against the Packers and Colts on the horizon and several difficult opponents down the stretch.
The Bengals suddenly look a lot more live than they did with Jake Browning under center. Joe Flacco has quickly realized that Ja’Marr Chase and Tee Higgins are pretty good at catching the football and Cincinnati’s offense has sprung back to life. The defense remains unsettling moving forward but they at least appear to have some life once again after a dreary start to their season.
Lastly, while the Browns won’t win the division this season, they’re not as terrible as many painted them to be. Their defense is legit and any team visiting Cleveland is in for a fight. They just don’t tend to travel well. The Browns are 2-2 at home with both losses by a combined 5 points. They are 0-3 away from Cleveland and have been outscored 98-36.
Here’s how the betting odds for the AFC North shake out as we close out October.

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 as we enter Week 8
| Team | Current Win Totals and Betting Odds | Win Totals and Betting Odds Entering Week 5 | Win Totals and Betting Odds Entering Week 3 | Preseason Win Totals and Betting Odds |
| Baltimore Ravens | O/U 8.5 | (+100/-120) | 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 8.5 | (-150/+125) | O/U 7.5 | (-135/+115) | O/U 8.5 | (-110/-110) |
| Cincinnati Bengals | O/U 7.5 | (-125/+105) | O/U 6.5 | (+100/-120) | O/U 8.5 | (+115/-135) | O/U 9.5 | (-110/-110) |
| Cleveland Browns | O/U 5.5 | (-140/+120) | O/U 5.5 | (-160/+135) | O/U 4.5 | (-140/+120) | O/U 5.5 | (+135/-160) |
- The Ravens win total spiked to 12.5 after their blowout victory over the Browns and after their 1-5 start they are now projected to win 8.5 games. Considering their schedule, 9-8 doesn’t seem overly impossible.
- The Steelers remain favored to deliver yet another winning season for Mike Tomlin with their projected win total still sitting at 8.5, this time heavily juiced towards Pittsburgh also delivering a 9-8 season.
- The Bengals escaped with a 33-31 win over the Steelers but have looked markedly better on offense with Joe Flacco under center. They are projected to be in the mix of the AFC North race but still in the range of a losing record with a win total of 7.5. Their defense makes them hard to fully believe in.
- The Browns win total remains unchanged from three weeks ago with a projected number of 5.5. This was one of the most popular under bets in the preseason and the number is now juiced towards the over. Not great Bob.

As recommended by yours truly three weeks ago, it wasn’t worth placing a Super Bowl futures bet on the Ravens until Lamar Jackson came back. Well, he’s on his way back in Week 8 and the Ravens odds to win the Super Bowl are now 22-1. Now would be your ideal time to jump back on that market if you still believe in them.
The remaining teams in the division have not seen a great deal of movement in their Super Bowl odds. The Browns moved from 300-1 to 400-1 but no one was putting money down on Dillon Gabriel to guide Cleveland to a Super Bowl, let’s be quite real.
The Steelers moved slightly from 55-1 to 50-1 but do not feel like a serious threat in the AFC.
The Bengals odds would be significantly better if their defense didn’t look like Skyline Chili. Joe Flacco will put up numbers and get the Bengals into the end zone again, but that Bengals defense is immeasurably bad. 200-1 feels generous.
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 took a major hit thanks to a hamstring injury that kept him out of the lineup.
However, dare I say if you think the Ravens will turn it around and get back in this thing, Lamar at 33-1 is pretty enticing for a sprinkle.
Here’s a look at how the odds stack up for each starting QB in the division, with exception to the Browns, who are represented by their best overall player.
| Players | Current Odds to Win NFL MVP | Odds to Win NFL MVP Entering Week 5 | Odds to Win NFL MVP Entering Week 3 | Preseason Odds to Win NFL MVP |
| Lamar Jackson (Ravens) | +3300 | +2700 | +350 | +430 |
| Joe Flacco (Bengals) | +50000 | +50000 | +40000 | +20000 |
| Aaron Rodgers (Steelers) | +15000 | +15000 | +6000 | +7500 |
| Myles Garrett (Browns) | +30000 | +20000 | +25000 | NR |
