AFC North Division Title: Can the Browns Break Their 34-Year Drought?
The Cleveland Browns are currently listed at +155 odds to win the AFC North, second only to the Baltimore Ravens at +115. The Steelers (+440) and Bengals (+1600) follow as longshots.
Key reasons to bet on the Browns:
- Elite roster featuring 3 All-Pro offensive linemen and All-Pro DE Myles Garrett
- Powerful rushing attack with Nick Chubb and Kareem Hunt
- Improved defense with additions like Jadeveon Clowney, Greg Newsome II, and John Johnson
- Baker Mayfield's strong second half in 2020 (16 TDs, 2 INTs after Week 7)
Potential concerns:
- Tough AFC North competition, especially from Baltimore
- Questions about Clowney's durability and impact
- Uncertainty around OBJ's return affecting Mayfield's performance
- No division titles since 1989
Final verdict: The Browns are worth betting to win the AFC North. Their talented roster and Mayfield's improvement make them legitimate contenders, despite strong divisional competition. The +155 odds offer good value for a team that nearly reached the AFC Championship game last season.
Key stat: The Browns had three All-Pro offensive linemen in 2020, showcasing their elite front-line talent.
Bottom line: Cleveland's overall roster strength and momentum from 2020 make them a smart bet at +155 to win their first division title in over 30 years.
