The Bengals and Ravens entered the season tied at the top of the board to win the AFC North division title.

Well, only one of those two squads remains in the running — the one with the reigning NFL MVP. 

Will the Ravens be able to capture the division crown for a second year in a row?

Let's take a look at the odds at DraftKings Sportsbook as of Dec. 23.

AFC NORTH DIVISION WINNER ODDS

Baltimore Ravens: -150 (bet $10 to win $16.67 total)
Pittsburgh Steelers: +125 (bet $10 to win $22.50 total)

Heading into Week 16, the Ravens were not the favorites to win the division. That distinction belonged to Pittsburgh, which had a division win over Baltimore. 

However, everything is now flipped on its head.

Baltimore beat Pittsburgh 34-17 in Week 16, and despite the Steelers owning the tiebreaker (win percentage in conference games), the Ravens are now favored to win the AFC North.

In the division, Baltimore has two wins over Cincy, a win over Pittsburgh, a loss to Pittsburgh and a loss to Cleveland. The Steelers own wins over the Browns, Bengals and Ravens, and have a loss to Cleveland and a loss to Baltimore. 

Now, the Ravens will travel to Houston in Week 17 and then host the Browns in Week 18, while the Steelers will host Kansas City in Week 17 and host the Bengals in Week 18. The outcomes of those remaining games will determine the division crown, given each team has an AFC opponent and a division point left on their schedules. 

Buckle up.
