Despite a brutal 1-4 start to the season, the Baltimore Ravens (-105) are still favored to win the AFC North at FanDuel Sportsbook.

The Pittsburgh Steelers, who are 3-1 and currently atop of the AFC North, have the second-best odds to win the division at +130. The Cincinnati Bengals (+1100) and Cleveland Browns (+1700) are considered long shots.

The Ravens were tabbed as Super Bowl favorites prior to the start of the season, but a slew of injuries and horrendous defensive play as left Baltimore at 1-4 through five weeks. The Ravens have allowed 41, 17, 38, 37 and 44 points in five games.

Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson (hamstring) was inactive for Sunday’s 44-10 blowout loss to the Houston Texans. Brian Wacker of The Baltimore Sun reports that Jackson could be out for up to 2-3 weeks. The Ravens host the Los Angeles Rams in Week 6 and then have a bye week.

On Sunday, the Cleveland Browns lost to the Minnesota Vikings, 21-17, in London and the Cincinnati Bengals lost to the Detroit Lions, 37-24. Baltimore and Cleveland are both 1-4, while Cincinnati sits at 2-3.

The Steelers couldn’t have asked for a better bye with all three AFC North teams losing.

The Steelers host the Browns in Week 6, while the Bengals play the Green Bay Packers at Lambeau Field. The Ravens play the Rams at M&T Bank Stadium.

Following the Ravens’ bye in Week 7, Baltimore plays the Chicago Bears, Miami Dolphins, Minnesota Vikings, Cleveland Browns and New York Jets. On paper, that’s a pretty favorable schedule for the Ravens to get back in the AFC playoff picture.
