Odds peg the Browns solidly in 3rd place in the AFC North but there’s value in betting on Cleveland

The Cleveland Browns have a new GM, a new head coach, several important new players and newfound confidence entering the 2020 NFL season. Alas, the professional bookies don’t see anything different in the big picture from Cleveland in this upcoming campaign.

The odds squarely peg the Browns to remain in third place in the AFC North, hammered behind the Baltimore Ravens and Pittsburgh Steelers. At BetMGM the Browns are +500 to capture the division title, behind reigning champs Baltimore (-200) and Pittsburgh (+350).

Because you can bet on just about anything these days, the odds for which team finishes in third place strongly favors the Browns:

If you’re looking for some investment value and not completely sold on the Browns catching the Ravens, the +225 line for Cleveland to finish second is a nice potential payout.
