Steelers No Longer AFC North Favorites Following Loss To Packers

The Green Bay Packers defeated the Steelers 35-25 on Sunday, bringing Pittsburgh’s record to 4-3.

Pittsburgh still has the best record in the AFC North, but the betting market no longer considers it the favorite to win the division.

As of Monday, FanDuel lists the Baltimore Ravens as the division favorites at -105, with the Steelers second at +175.

Many considered the Ravens the frontrunners to take the AFC North at the start of the season, but they stumbled out of the gate with a disappointing 1-5 record.

Baltimore secured its second victory of the season on Sunday, defeating the Chicago Bears 30-16.

The Ravens begin a five-game stretch against teams with losing records this week as they prepare to face the Miami Dolphins on “Thursday Night Football.”

On the other hand, the Steelers will play four opponents with winning records in their next five games, aside from the Cincinnati Bengals, who defeated Pittsburgh in Week 7.

Star quarterback Lamar Jackson could return for Baltimore soon, after missing the last three games due to a hamstring injury.

The Steelers will clash with the Ravens on Dec. 7 for their first meeting of the season, and it could be a battle for the top spot in the division.
