2016 AFC North NFL Betting Preview: Steelers Lead Way Over Bengals and Ravens

The Pittsburgh Steelers are running short on time with their current head coach-quarterback combination. The Cincinnati Bengals can't win a playoff game. The Baltimore Ravens are a sub-.500 team since their Super Bowl victory four seasons ago. And the Cleveland Browns just can't seem to do anything right.

Here's a look at the post-draft Super Bowl LI odds for members of the AFC North division at sportsbooks monitored by Odds Shark.

Pittsburgh Steelers (+1000)

The Steelers won four of their last five games last season to nab a wild-card spot, reaching the divisional round before falling at eventual Super Bowl champion Denver. But time is beginning to run out on the Ben Roethlisberger era. Can Pittsburgh make one more Super Bowl run with Big Ben? A healthy Le'Veon Bell would help, and while the Steelers ranked just 21st in total defense last year, they used their top three picks in the draft on that side of the ball.

Cincinnati Bengals (+1800)

Cincinnati won the AFC North for the second time in the last three seasons last year, made the playoffs for the fifth straight season and proved to be one of the best bets in the league, going 12-2-2 against the spread. But for the fifth postseason in a row, the Bengals bowed out in their playoff opener. When is this team going to take the next step?

Baltimore Ravens (+2800)

The Ravens stumbled through the worst season of the John Harbaugh era last year, as the injury bug took a big bite. Baltimore won just five games and covered only five spreads in missing the playoffs for the second time in the last three seasons. This year, the Ravens hope to have quarterback Joe Flacco and running back Justin Forsett healthy for the entirety, and eight picks in the first four rounds of the draft added quality depth.

Cleveland Browns (+10000)

Cleveland continues to muddle along as the most hapless franchise in the NFL. Two seasons ago, the Browns showed some promise, starting 7-4, but since then, they've won just three of 21 games, going 8-12-1 ATS in the process. Cleveland thought it had a good defense, but that unit sank to 27th overall last year. And the Johnny Manziel experiment blew up in the team's face. Now, the Browns move on to yet another new head coach (Hue Jackson), their sixth in the last nine seasons, and have a reclamation project at quarterback in Robert Griffin III.
