With so much going on in the NFL offseason, it already feels like a lifetime ago that Super Bowl LX reached its conclusion with the Seahawks lifting their second title in franchise history. <\/p>

The coaching carousel has seen several prominent changes, and free agency began with a bang as many top names found their new homes. Generally seen as one of the tightest divisions in the league, the 2025-26 NFL season was a disappointing one as the Steelers were the only team to make the playoffs.   <\/p>

In this article, we will look at the early odds for the AFC North division winner for the upcoming 2026-27 NFL season, but before that, let us have a brief recap of the last season. <\/p>

2025-26 AFC North Recap<\/h2>

The 2025-26 NFL season<\/a> was not as close as anticipated during the offseason. Generally, the division has been a tight one with the Steelers, Bengals, and the Ravens all in competition for the divisional crown. <\/p>

With a 10-7 record, the Pittsburgh Steelers won the division for the first time in 5 years. The Baltimore Ravens provided some competition after a horrible start, but eventually it was not enough to make the playoffs as they finished with an 8-9 record. Lamar Jackson missed multiple games, and the Ravens’ defense went through a terrible run, due to which Baltimore started 1-5. <\/p>

The Cincinnati Bengals had their fair share of horrid luck as Joe Burrow went down due to a turf toe injury and missed 9 games, which ultimately resulted in a lost season. Moreover, Cincinnati also had one of the worst defenses last season, leading to a disappointing 6-11 campaign. <\/p>

As for the Cleveland Browns, there were several issues on the offensive side of the ball, starting with the quarterback. The Browns went through 3 different signal callers in the season, and even though the defense was much better, they could only manage 5 wins and 12 losses. <\/p>
