Bettors Picking Steelers Despite Long AFC North Odds
The Pittsburgh Steelers have the longest odds to win the AFC North by far, but the betting public is still picking the Steelers.
The Steelers have +950 odds to win the AFC North, according to FanDuel Sportsbook, the worst odds of the four teams.

The Baltimore Ravens have the best odds at +145, followed by the Cincinnati Bengals at +165 and the Cleveland Browns at +400 and the Steelers bringing up the rear.
But that big number might have the bettors backing Pittsburgh. According to a public action note from BetOnline, 17% of the bets on the AFC North are on the Steelers, despite the long odds.
That enthusiasm for the Steelers to win the AFC North doesn’t carry over to every other wagers. Just 1% of the total bets for the Super Bowl LVII winner are on Pittsburgh, half as much as Cleveland.
The public is bullish on the Steelers’ chances of going over their 7.5 win total. Two-thirds of the betting money has been on the over, while only 34% is on the under.
