Baltimore opens 2025 as the AFC North favorite for a third straight title, with Cincinnati as the next rung and Pittsburgh and Cleveland on the chase. ESPN Bet’s season-long odds give the Ravens high hopes to return to the postseason, while burrow-led Cincinnati aims to sustain a top-scoring offense despite OL concerns. The Steelers, boosted by Aaron Rodgers’ arrival in Pittsburgh, are built for a playoff push, but Cleveland faces a tougher path with quarterback instability in a brutal division.

Among the bets, Bengals over 9.5 wins stands out thanks to Joe Burrow and a potent aerial attack, while a Bengals under 9.5 wins appeals if the line holds against a tougher schedule and possible regression in the run game. Browns under 4.5 wins relies on qb uncertainty and aging O-line. MVP odds tilt toward Lamar Jackson, with Burrow close behind; Chase eyes Offensive Player of the Year, and Garrett eyes Defensive Player of the Year.
