Obviously, that's a pretty big leap forward with the Browns Super Bowl odds. Previously, the Cleveland Browns were a good roster with a limited quarterback which got them to an 8-9 record and a third-place finish in the AFC North.
Dealing with Lamar Jackson and Joe Burrow in your division is no easy task. So the Browns got bold and went all in. Originally, it felt like a massive mistake when Watson appeared to turn down the Browns in favor of either the Falcons or the Saints but luckily for them they got their guy.

The AFC just became that much more difficult. The Denver Broncos traded for Russell Wilson not too long ago and people thought that was the best division in football but the AFC North said not so fast.
A Super Bowl in Cleveland seems almost unimaginable but with one of the league's best rosters and a new quarterback who when on the field is arguably top five at his position, this Browns team is scary good. And their Super Bowl odds reflect that.
