The Baltimore Ravens entered their Week 3 home game against the Indianapolis Colts as the heavy favorite to pick up a victory in the contest. In the end, the Colts had the last laugh, as they notched a 22-19 win in overtime.

To make matters worse for the Ravens, the Pittsburgh Steelers, Cleveland Browns and Cincinnati Bengals all came away with a victory in Week 3. Nonetheless, the Ravens remain the odds favorite to win the AFC North.

Baltimore currently sits as the +190 favorite to take home the AFC North title this season. The Bengals, who entered the 2023 campaign as the overwhelming favorites to once again win the AFC North, boast the third-best odds (+370) to top the division.

Even as the Steelers currently sit atop the AFC North standings, they hold the worst odds (+375) to win the division.

The Ravens will truly be tested in the coming weeks, as they will have a pair of road matchups against the Browns and the Steelers. They split the regular season series with the two teams last year.

First, the Ravens will look to take care of business against the Browns in Week 4. Baltimore is aiming to notch a 3-1 record for the third time in the last four seasons.
