Many NFL fans will be watching this season to see if the Kansas City Chiefs do what no team has done before in the history of the league – win three Super Bowls in a row. 

The team is once again the betting favorite to win it all this year, checking in at +550.

When it comes to the AFC as a whole, several other talented teams will be looking to make a run to the title themselves  – including playoff contenders from last season like the Buffalo Bills, Baltimore Ravens, and Houston Texans.

Here’s a look at what to expect when betting the AFC this season.

Teams’ Odds On Winning The NFL AFC Conference

2023 AFC Division Winners

Team	Record	Division	2024 Odds to Win Division
Buffalo Bills	11-6	AFC East	+195
Kansas City Chiefs	11-6	AFC West	-270
Baltimore Ravens	13-4	AFC North	+145
Houston Texans	10-7	AFC South	+105

Beyond the Chiefs, the Ravens are +1100 to win the Super Bowl with the Texans at +1500 after CJ Stroud had such a great rookie season.

But are these teams in a position to win?

The Ravens have flamed out over the last few years and the Texans are still an up-and-coming squad.

The Bills are at +1700 and each of these divisions looks highly competitive as the season was set to kick off.

My Key Insights

• The Chiefs have had a fairly easy road to the division title in the AFC West. It will be interesting to see if an improved Broncos team can find some footing under coach Sean Payton and rookie quarterback Bo Nix.
• Despite the Ravens winning 13 games last season, the North should again be competitive as the Browns, Steelers, and Bengals all had winning records last season. Many will be watching to see if the Bengals and Joe Burrow can bounce back. Burrow’s season was hampered by injuries, including a torn wrist ligament that ended his season.
• The South also looks highly competitive. The Jaguars’ Trevor Lawrence will also look to compete again after the quarterback underwent an injury-plagued season. The Texans hope to build on a surprising season from last year led by second-year quarterback CJ Stroud.
• The Dolphins bring an explosive offense into the AFC East, but again face a tough opponent in the Bills, who just edged out Miami for the division crown. The return of Aaron Rodgers also has Jets fans and bettors excited to see if the team can see some major progress.

2024 AFC – To Win Super Bowl Odds

The Chiefs just seem to keep winning and a great defense and offense led by Patrick Mahomes and Travis Kelce could once again had the team back in the Super Bowl last year.

But can Kansas City make it three in a row? That remains to be seen but oddsmakers are giving the squad the edge once again at +550.

Contrarians may decide the odds seem stacked against the team and look for other options.

The Chiefs re-signed standout defensive end Chris Jones and also added linebacker Drue Tranquill on that side of the ball as well. The offense has added wide receiver Marquise Brown for even more firepower.

The Ravens have been a perennial favorite to compete for the title as well, but the team and quarterback Lamar Jackson have struggled in the playoffs.

Despite that, Baltimore remains the second favorite in the conference to win the Super Bowl at +1100 and is looking to break through this year.

Buffalo once again came up short in the 2023-24 playoffs, losing by a field goal to the Chiefs. Can Josh Allen and his teammates finally get over the hump this year?

The franchise brings back plenty of talent and will be looking to find a path to the big game. Here’s a look at the top contenders for this season’s Super Bowl.

AFC Teams – Super Bowl Odds

Team	DraftKings	FanDuel	Caesars
KC Chiefs	+500	+550	+575
BAL Ravens	+1000	+1100	+900
CIN Bengals	+1300	+1500	+1300
HOU Texans	+1600	+1500	+1300
BUF Bills	+1600	+1700	+1700
NY Jets	+1900	+1800	+1700
MIA Dolphins	+2200	+2200	+2500

Most sportsbooks seem to have the top five with pretty similar odds, although there is a bit of a range for Bills and the Bengals.

Even the Jets at +1700 to +1900 are not far off from the Bills and Texans. Temas like the Ravens, Bills, and Bengals may offer some nice value if the Chiefs falter in the effort at a three-peat.

2024 AFC – Division Winner Favorites

The Chiefs, Bills, Ravens, and Texans all won their division in 2023. Three of those are the betting favorites again this year to win their division.

But there should be plenty of competition in some of these division battles.

Team	DraftKings	FanDuel	Caesars
NY Jets – AFC East	+165	+160	+165
KC – AFC West	-260	-270	-260
BAL – AFC North	+145	+145	+145
HOU – AFC South	+105	+105	-105

• The AFC East should see quite a battle with the Bills getting about the same betting odds as the Jets. The Dolphins are also checking in at around +200.
• The Ravens and Bengals should be locked in a close race in the North, with Cincinnati seeing odds just a tick above Baltimore.
• Kansas City looks to be the leader in the clubhouse in the West, but perhaps this is the year the Chargers at least challenge the Chiefs.
• Can Houston repeat the division success in the AFC South? That remains to be seen and expect Jacksonville and Indianapolis to once again be tough customers in this division.

2024 AFC – Player Awards

The AFC brings plenty of talent when it comes to quarterbacks who could be battling for the MVP award and high passing totals for the 2024-25 season.

Patrick Mahomes and Lamar Jackson have been named the league’s MVP four of the last six years with two each.

Here’s a quick look at the top AFC players to check out for these two awards.

Betting On AFC Quarterbacks

Player	NFL MVP Odds	Most Passing YDS Odds
Patrick Mahomes	+450	+750
Josh Allen	+800	+1700
CJ Stroud	+1000	+750
Joe Burow	+1000	+900
Lamar Jackson	+1500	+3000
Tua Tagovailoa	+2000	+1000
Aaron Rodgers	+2500	+2800
Trevor Lawrence	+3000	+2100
Justin Herbert	+3000	+2900

Jalen Hurts and Jordan Love are the only NFC quarterbacks among the top seven in MVP betting odds.

The AFC continues to dominate when it comes to top quarterbacks. CJ Stroud vaulted into the top odds this season including tied as the favorite for most passing yards with Patrick Mahomes.

Interesting AFC East Bets To Consider

Rushing Yards

The AFC also has plenty of interesting running back options with a few new names moving into the favorites for most rushing yards.

Player	Most Rushing YDS	2023 Rushing YDS
Jonathan Taylor	+600	741 YDS
Breece Hall	+800	994 YDS
Derrick Henry	+1000	1,167 YDS
De’Von Achane	+2000	800 YDS
Nick Chubb	+2500	170 YDS

There were some major changes among the top AFC rushing prospects this year.

Bettors are looking for a big return from Jonathan Taylor after missing the first four games with a high ankle sprain and three games later in the season with an injury to his thumb.

Bettors are expecting big things from Breece Hall as well after a nice rookie season. The return of Aaron Rodgers may help the offense in New York overall –including more yardage for Hall.

Derrick Henry gets a nice change of scenery with a move to the Baltimore Ravens and is always a player to watch. De’Von Achane returns to the Dolphins after a nice rookie season.

A bet on Nick Chubb now seems highly unlikely to pay off as he is now expected to miss the four games of the season due to recovery from knee surgery.

Receiving Yards

There are also some interesting pass catchers to keep an eye on this season. Betting on individual receiving yards can adobe a nice sweat throughout the season.

Here’s a look at some of the top betting prospects.

Player	Most Receiving YDS	2023 Receiving Stats
Tyreek Hill	+600	119 Rec, 1,799 YDS
Ja’Marr Chase	+900	100 Rec, 1,216 YDS
Garrett Wilson	+1400	95 Rec, 1,042 YDS
Nico Collins	+2000	80 Rec, 1,297 YDS

Tyreek Hill is the betting favorite to repeat as the NFL’s leading receiver. The speedy receiver will certainly have the opportunity in the high-octane Dolphins’ offense.

Ja’Marr Chase also continues to impress with the Bengals and improved offenses in Houston and New York could help lift the stats of Nico Collins and Garrett Wilson even more.

Always Shop Around for the Best Odds

Watching your picks and seeing how things play out can be a lot of fun each Sunday (or Monday or Thursday).

Consider key factors when making those selections, such as injuries, weather, quarterback, defensive strength, and other indicators.

When looking at the odds, you can see from above that these may vary by sportsbook.

Doing some “odds shopping” offers the best chance to maximize your chance of winning and also get the best possible returns on any of those player props and futures bets.

Some books may feature small discrepancies on odds depending on the week. That extra half point may mean the difference between winning and losing that week.

It’s important to have reasonable expectations when betting as well. Pick a few games in which you feel good after reviewing some of the key factors that may play out.

Also, thinking you should win every single bet for the week isn’t realistic. Hoping to come out a game or two ahead each week is probably a better plan.

Find some wins here and there and hopefully you’ll be in the black when the season comes to an end.
