The AFC North could very well be the most competitive division in the NFL entering the 2023 season. For the last two seasons, the Cincinnati Bengals have won the division and are looking to make it three consecutive titles. Cincinnati’s record a season ago was 12-4.

The last time someone won three consecutive division titles was when the Pittsburgh Steelers won it for four consecutive years from 1994 to 1997. This division could very well go in many different ways this season.
Who has the best odds to win the AFC North this season?
AFC North Best Odds, Bets & Predictions for 2023
Cincinnati Bengals +150
Once again, the Cincinnati Bengals have the best odds to win the AFC North via BET MGM. Cincinnati has one of the best offenses in the NFL. The Bengals have quarterback Joe Burrow, running back Joe Mixon, and wide receivers Ja’Marr Chase, Tee Higgins, and Tyler Boyd.
They have a solid head coach in Zac Taylor. The defense is very underrated, with Trey Hendrickson and Sam Hubbard leading the way. Cincinnati will be able to handle the battles when times get tough for them and will potentially find a way to win this division for a third consecutive season.
Baltimore Ravens +220
The Baltimore Ravens have the second-best odds of winning the AFC North. Baltimore just signed quarterback Lamar Jackson to a contract extension, but he has been injury prone over the last couple of seasons. The Ravens’ season could turn into a circus if it goes south quickly with the egos they have.
Their wide receiver room is rookie Zay Flowers, Odell Beckham Jr., and Rashod Bateman. Beckham Jr. isn’t the player he once was. The defense has some holes on it, but Patrick Queen and Marlon Humphrey Jr. are the two bright spots on it. Head coach John Harbaugh led them to the playoffs last season, but this season may be different this time around.
Cleveland Browns +400
Interestingly, the Cleveland Browns have +400 odds of winning the AFC North title this season. Cleveland does have talent on its roster. The Browns could be one of the biggest question marks in the entire NFL this season.
Quarterback Deshaun Watson will have a full training camp this time around. If he can be the quarterback he once was with the Houston Texans, then he could be dangerous for them. The Cleveland Browns last won a division title in 1989. It’s been a long time coming for this franchise. Head coach Kevin Stefanski will feel the heat this season. Nick Chubb, Amari Cooper, Denzel Ward, and Myles Garrett are some of the key players on this football team.
Pittsburgh Steelers +450
The Pittsburgh Steelers have the worst odds of winning the AFC North. The offense could be a stalemate once again if things don’t improve. Quarterback Kenny Pickett is ready to take that next step and get Pittsburgh back to the postseason after missing it a season ago. They feel like a dark horse team in the AFC.
Head coach Mike Tomlin leads the Steelers. Najee Harris, Diontae Johnson, George Pickens, and Pat Freiermuth are some of the key components of this offense. The offensive line has to be better. And the defense also must be better outside of T.J. Watt. If not, it will be another long season for the Steelers faithful.
