Steelers have best odds of winning AFC Championship and Super Bowl in AFC North

The re-tooled and re-fueled Steelers are 11-to-1 favorites to win the AFC in 2013, according to the LVH Superbook in Las Vegas.

The New England Patriots (who may or may not have their top two tight ends to start the season) are the leaders at 2-to-1 to represent the AFC in the Super Bowl. Denver is second at 9-to-4 and Houston checks in at 5-to-1. The Steelers are fourth with the best odds in the AFC North.

Maurkice Pouncey named top offensive linemen in future projection

Steelers center Maurkice Pouncey will be among the game's best linemen, according to Scouts Inc.'s Gary Horton.

Baltimore and Cincinnati are right behind the Steelers at 13-to-1 to represent the AFC in Super Bowl XLVIII.

The Steelers are 7-to-4 favorites to win the AFC North, with Baltimore and Cincinnati trailing them at 2-to-1. Cleveland is at 15-to-2. It's suggests the betting public expects a three-way race for the AFC North crown between three good teams. It's been between these three teams for the last two years, and another year of that seems inevitable.
