The Baltimore Ravens are the AFC North favorite at -166 on DraftKings, as ESPN listed the market at 11:27 UTC on Saturday, October 17, 2026. The Cincinnati Bengals are +225, the Pittsburgh Steelers +900 and the Cleveland Browns +1600. On October 12 the four were -175, +240, +920 and +1400.
Baltimore is 4-1. Cincinnati, Pittsburgh and Cleveland are all 3-2, one game behind, and the market prices those three very differently. The Ravens have not played a division game yet.

DraftKings’ AFC North winner market, read from ESPN at 11:27 UTC on October 17, 2026. The record column is ESPN’s standings at the same time.
To break even at -166 a bettor risks $166 to win $100, so the Ravens have to take the division 166 times in 266, or 62.4%. A plus price works the other way: Cincinnati’s +225 needs 100 in 325, or 30.8%.
The four figures total 109.1%, and the 9.1 points over 100 are what the book keeps. Scaled back to 100, the prices say Baltimore 57.2%, Cincinnati 28.2%, Pittsburgh 9.2% and Cleveland 5.4%.
There is no AFC North pick on this page. The price is only a bet for someone who puts a team’s chance above the percentage beside it. The futures bet guide explains how a division bet pays.

What each AFC North price needs
Baltimore, -166. The Ravens need 62.4% and have a one-game lead to show for it, with all six division games ahead.
Cincinnati, +225. $100 wins $225 and needs 30.8%. The Bengals lost 30-27 in Pittsburgh on September 27 and play Baltimore twice, on October 25 and December 31.
Pittsburgh, +900. $100 wins $900 and needs 10.0%. The Steelers have split their two division games and get Baltimore twice in the last four weeks, at home on December 20 and away in Week 18.
Cleveland, +1600. $100 wins $1,600 and needs 5.9%. The Browns are 1-0 in the division after the 27-24 win over Pittsburgh on October 1, and they host Baltimore next.
