Updated 2024 AFC Championship Odds to Win before Conference Round Matches

NFL AFC Championship odds list the Baltimore Ravens as a -165 moneyline chalk to get by the Kansas City Chiefs. The Ravens are at home for this year’s AFC title matchup, which is one of the reasons Baltimore is the chalk.

Does Baltimore offers fair odds to win the AFC title? How about the odds on Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs? Are they fair?

AFC Championship Odds Analysis

Are the Kansas City Chiefs an Overlay or Underlay at Their Current Odds?

At first glance, the Kansas City Chiefs look like a serious overlay at +140 to beat the Baltimore Ravens and make it to a second straight Super Bowl. The defending champs upset Josh Allen and the Buffalo Bills on the road in a stunning 27-24 divisional round victory.

Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs have a lot of momentum heading into the AFC Championship versus Lamar Jackson and the Baltimore Ravens. What’s really interesting if you like KC in the title game, is that Mahomes and Travis Kelce finally got it going.

If the duo hook up multiple times this Sunday, the Chiefs can upset the Ravens, but that’s not likely to happen. Kansas City barely got by a Buffalo team that was missing key players on defense.

The Bills linebacking unit was so banged up that Jordan Poyer ended up covering Kelce. Roquan Smith or Patrick Queen is likely to face guard Kelce all night, which will force Mahomes to evade the rush and look for other receivers. At +145 odds to win the AFC, the Chiefs are an underlay.

Are the Baltimore Ravens an Overlay or Underlay at Their Current Odds?

The Ravens should be a -7 chalk in this, which means the -165 makes Baltimore an overlay. Lamar Jackson is unstoppable. Almost as important is the fact that Steve Spagnuolo’s quarterback spy on the Chiefs’ defense, linebacker Willie Gay, lists as questionable after suffering a neck injury in the win against the Bills.

If Gay can’t go, Kansas City is going to have a close to impossible time stopping Jackson and Baltimore’s rushing attack. If KC decides to stop Baltimore’s run game, Jackson will beat the Chiefs with his legs or throw to one of his receivers, including Odell Beckham Jr., who has come on in recent games.

Kansas City has a chance, but their chance is limited. The Ravens odds to win the AFC title are overlaid.

Updated 2024 AFC Championship Odds to Win before Divisional Round Matches
 

Previous Betting News

Over the weekend, Houston knocked off the Cleveland Browns, Kansas City took care of Miami, and the Buffalo Bills sent the Steelers home for the offseason.

Oddsmakers waited until Monday’s delayed Bills versus Steelers game before updated AFC Championship odds. As we head into the NFL Divisional Round, the Baltimore Ravens are solid +115 favorites to get it done.

Check out updated odds to win the AFC Championship, analysis, and picks heading into the NFL Divisional Round.

NFL AFC Championship Picks

Top Pick: Baltimore Ravens +115

Wide receiver Zay Flowers, Marlon Humphrey, and Kyle Hamilton lists as questionable and so does right guard Kevin Zeitler, but other than those four players, the Ravens are one hundred percent healthy heading into their first playoff game.

Baltimore takes on the Houston Texans this weekend a solid -8.5 chalk. Lamar Jackson and the offense have won via the pass and the rush. In fact, this might be Lamar’s best season as a pro and that’s saying a lot. The defense is exceptional at taking the ball away.

Hamilton and Humphrey will play. Even if they don’t, the Ravens are deep enough to cause C.J. Stroud and the Texans fits. Baltimore is as solid of a play to make the Super Bowl as we’ve seen in a long time.

Second Pick: Kansas City Chiefs +330

There’s are reasons to prefer the Chiefs over the Bills. Buffalo struggled to beat Kansas City 20-17 in their regular season showdown. In fact, KC thought they grabbed the lead after Travis Kelce’s lateral to Kadarius Toney, but Toney began the play in the neutral zone, which means KT was offsides.

The Chiefs have moved on from the game. Kansas City looked fantastic when bouncing the Dolphins 26-7. Give Mahomes and his mates the nod over the Bills this weekend.

Third Pick: Buffalo Bills +220

Buffalo is good enough to win the Super Bowl. However, a closer look at the Bills’ 31-17 victory over the Pittsburgh Steelers in the wild card matchup reveals that Josh Allen put Buffalo on his back and led them to victory.

Allen threw 3 TD passes and rushed for a 52-yard score. If not for Allen’s heroics, the game would have been excruciatingly close if you’re a Bills fan. KC’s defense played Allen tough in the regular season game. The Bills defense is also somewhat banged up, which is another reason Buffalo is the third pick.

AFC Championship Pick: Buffalo Bills +220 | AFC Odds to Win Championship

Fourth Pick: Houston Texans +1300

If the Texans upset the Ravens, they can for sure make it to the Super Bowl. However, beating the Browns at home with Joe Flacco at quarterback is different than beating the Ravens with Lamar piloting Baltimore’s offense.

The Texans come off of a stunning game against the Browns. So a bounce could also be in order. C.J. Stroud will find it difficult to move the ball versus Baltimore’s D while Houston will struggle to stop Lamar and his mates. Moving on from the divisional round doesn’t seem possible. The Texans head to the offseason feeling good.

NFL Betting Update: Odds to Win the 2023 AFC Conference Championship
 

Previous Betting News

NFL Week 18 is a good time to assess which teams we believe will win the conference titles. In this blog, we take a look at the American Football Conference where the Kansas City Chiefs, Buffalo Bills, and Cincinnati Bengals will lead the playoff charge. Check out updated Odds to Win the AFC as well as picks. 

 

NFL Betting Update: Odds to Win the 2023 AFC Conference Championship

2023 NFL AFC Championship

  • When: Sunday, Jan. 29 at TBD
  • Where: TBD

Top Pick: Cincinnati Bengals +400

By the time the playoffs start, Sam Hubbard might be available. If Hubbard is, the Bengals should have no trouble getting by their AFC peers.

Hubbard plays defensive end on the opposite side of Trey Hendrickson. The Bengals’ defense has stepped it up this season while the offensive line has also gotten better. Joe Burrow is playing lights out and Mr. Cool gets to throw to three receivers, Tyler Boyd, Tee Higgins, and Ja’Marr Chase, who can stretch the field.  

 

Second Pick: Kansas City Chiefs +176

The Patrick Mahomes and Andy Reid combo is almost unstoppable. But Kansas City has a couple of flaws that a team like the Bengals could exploit.

First, the defense doesn’t always play as well as it must. It’s not that the D doesn’t have talent. It’s that it underperforms.

Second, Mahomes doesn’t have a receiver that can stretch the field. Tyreek Hill was that guy. Travis Kelce, as great as he is, can’t do it, which is why the Chiefs play a lot of three tight-end sets.

Reid and Mahomes are so good that even without a stretch the field receiver, the pair can find ways to win. At the odds, though, the Chiefs are a bad play. 

 

Third Pick: Los Angeles Chargers +1100

Heading into NFL Week 18, the Bolts have won 5-of-6. LAC should make it 6-of-7 because they play the Broncos on Sunday. But although the Chargers can win the conference, we have to question their quality of opponent during the streak.

The loss came versus the Las Vegas Raiders. The wins came against the Cardinals, Dolphins, Titans, Colts, and Rams. None of the teams the Bolts beat will make the playoffs except for, maybe, the Fins, who have lost 5 straight heading into their final regular season game.

 

Top Underdog Pick: Jacksonville Jaguars +2300

If Jacksonville beats Tennessee, the Jaguars win the AFC South and head to the playoffs. The smart money is on the Jags to do just that.

Trevor Lawrence and his mates are one of the hottest teams in the NFL. The Jaguars have won 4 straight and 5-of-6. Unlike the Bolts, the Jags have beaten a pair of playoff teams during their streak, Dallas and Baltimore.

If the Jags make it, the +2300 odds might look like a gift. Consider backing the Jaguars to win the conference before they take on the rival Titans on Saturday.  

 
NFL 2023 AFC Conference Championship & Super Bowl Odds: Bills Betting Analysis
 

Previous Betting News

We had some drama at the end of the NFL regular season, with the whole playoff picture put in doubt after the cancellation of the game between the Buffalo Bills and the Cincinnati Bengals. The league decided that making the AFC Conference Championship Game a neutral venue affair should be the way to go, but that decision meant that the Bills dropped out of the #1 seed in the process. They now have a more difficult path to the Super Bowl, but it’s a run that they are certainly equipped to make. This is also now a team that has some extra inspiration in the form of Damar Hamlin. Will that drive them to a championship, or will they come up short again? Let’s break it all down and don’t miss our NFL Playoffs betting odds for Bills in the Wild Card Round.

 

NFL 2023 AFC Conference Championship & Super Bowl Odds: Bills Betting Analysis

Wild Card Round

The Bills did still manage to land the #2 seed, so they would have home field advantage all the way to the Conference Championship Game. Their playoff run begins on Sunday when they host the Miami Dolphins in the Wild Card Round. The Bills go into that one at -395 for the straight up win and are favored by 9. With Tua Tagovailoa expected to be out again, the Dolphins look seriously overmatched in this one. There isn’t a whole ton of value to be found here, but this is a game where the Bills should move on without too much trouble.

 

Conference Championship

With the Bills losing the #1 seed, they also dropped down to second favorite to win the AFC. They are currently sitting at +187 and I would suggest that you get in on this bet now if you like them to represent the AFC in the Super Bowl, as this is likely to be as good as those odds get. So, I think the Bills will blow past the Dolphins in the Wild Card, which would then likely have them facing the winner of the game between the Ravens and Bengals. My money would be on Cincinnati to take that one, which would set up a rematch of the suspended game. The Bengals are hot right now, and it is worth remembering that they had the lead when the Week 17 game was suspended. This is the matchup that makes me nervous when looking at the Bills chances of getting to the Super Bowl.

 

Super Bowl

The Bills had basically been the favorite to win the Super Bowl from the start of the season, and even more so after beating the Kansas City Chiefs. That all changed with the suspension of the Bengals game, as it is now the Chiefs who are seen as the favorite by the bookies. It’s close, though, and you have to say that the Bills look to be very good value at odds of +400 to win it all. Again, my concern is that the Bengals might prove to be the fly in the ointment, as they are coming into the postseason playing great football, plus they now have a chip on their shoulder, as they feel the most negatively affected by the decision to cancel the Bills game and go neutral venue. At the start of the season, I had the Bills going all the way to the Super Bowl, so it’s tough to bet against them now.

 
2023 AFC Division Odds to Win
 

Previous Betting News

The Miami Dolphins, Baltimore Ravens, Kansas City Chiefs, and Jacksonville Jaguars are favorites to win their respective AFC divisions. Of the four teams, Kansas City is the only one that looks like a for sure lock.

Check out AFC betting lines, analysis, and free picks for the East, North, South, and West.

 

2023 AFC Division Odds to Win | MyBookie Divisional Betting Preview

2023 NFL Season | 104th season of the National Football League
Regular Season: September 7th – Sunday, January 7th, 2024

 

AFC East | Odds to Win

The New England Patriots are an impossible longshot to win the AFC East. The Pats would have to run the table and the Dolphins would pretty much have to lose every game.

The Bills would have to lose at least three and the Jets would have to lose at least three. So the Patriots winning the East isn’t going to happen.

The Jets and Bills aren’t playing well enough to catch Miami. The Dolphins have the NFL’s top offense and a decent defense. Things are so bad in Buffalo that Sean McDermott fired offensive coordinator Ken Dorsey. The Fins take the East.

NFC East Pick: Miami Dolphins | AFC East Odds

AFC North | Odds to Win

The one team among the four in the AFC North that shouldn’t win the division are the Cleveland Browns. The Browns are good enough to take the division crown but on Wednesday, Cleveland said Deshaun Watson’s season is over.

The Ravens and Bengals throw down on Thursday Night Football. The winner gets the edge to take the division title. However, no matter which team is victorious when Cincinnati travels to Baltimore, the Pittsburgh Steelers are the team to back.

Pittsburgh’s offense has caught up to their excellent defense. The Steelers should be very difficult to beat to win the division and rates an overlay at the +550 odds.

NFC North Pick: Pittsburgh Steelers | AFC North Odds
MyBookie Betting Lines for the divisional champions


 

AFC South | Odds to Win

The Colts and Titans shouldn’t catch Houston and Jacksonville. The Jags are a game ahead of the surprising Texans.

Both teams, Jacksonville and Houston, boast top notch quarterbacks. C.J. Stroud is as good at the NFL level as he was when throwing darts for Ohio State. Trevor Lawrence is one of the better starters in the league.

The winner will come down to defense and in that respect, Jacksonville is the play. The Jags D forces turnovers better than any other team in the NFL. Jacksonville wins the South.

NFC South Pick: Jacksonville Jaguars | AFC South Odds
MyBookie Betting Lines for the divisional champions


 

AFC West | Odds to Win

Kansas City should win the AFC West but the Chiefs may not be the best bet to win the AFC West. At -1200, Kansas City is a slight underlay.

The Chargers are a logical pick, but LAC is suspect. The Raiders and the Broncos, though, are both playable.

Antonio Pierce has brought an attitude adjustment to Vegas. The Raiders play with heart and are solid on both sides of the football. Rookie Aidan O’Connell almost always makes the right decision.

Denver is on a roll. The current 3-game winning streak started with a home W versus the Green Bay Packers. The Broncos then upset KC at Mile High 24-9 before beating the Bills 24-22 in Buffalo. Sean Payton finally has gotten the Colorado Ponies to gel. So the Broncos are a good longshot play at 65-to-1 if you believe the Chiefs fall apart.

Betting Projections for 2022 AFC Conference Winners

While many thought that the Kansas City Chiefs were far and away from the best team in the AFC prior to the season, many have changed their minds after the 17 games of a regular season. Kansas City’s offense took a couple of steps back, and their defense was very questionable for much of the season. With that being said, the Chiefs are still the favorite to represent the AFC in the Super Bowl. Let’s take a look at the AFC Conference Championship odds for all seven teams in the AFC playoff field.

 

Kansas City Chiefs +200

Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City offense can be nearly unstoppable at times. However, teams have somewhat figured out how to slow down this powerhouse by using shell coverage and making Mahomes check down to the short routes. The Chiefs still have enough weapons to overcome this strategy, but we still have doubts about them on the defensive side of the ball. We like the Chiefs to get to the AFC title game, but we’re not sure that they’ll get to the Super Bowl.

 

Tennessee Titans +340

The Titans are the top seed in the AFC, thus having a bye in the Wild Card round. Tennessee has proved its doubters wrong numerous times throughout the season. With a healthy AJ Brown and Julio Jones to go along with the returning Derrick Henry, the Titans’ offense could be very tough to stop, especially if Henry is back to his old self. Mike Vrabel brings toughness and a swagger to the Titans, and we think that they’re going to represent the AFC in this year’s Super Bowl.

 

Buffalo Bills +360

Josh Allen has the ability to carry a team on his back. While the Buffalo offense has looked bad at times, Allen knows that he was close to a Super Bowl last season, and he’ll do anything to get his team there. Buffalo also has a very good defense. Their lack of a running game could come back to haunt them in the playoffs.

 

New England +900

The Patriots will face their old friends in Buffalo in the first round of the playoffs. New England has a rookie quarterback, and that could be an issue in the playoffs. It’s hard to argue against Belichick’s success, and his ability to shut down the star player of his opponents. We don’t think they can beat the Bills, but you never know…….

 

Cincinnati Bengals +900

Joe Burrow and the Bengals are one of the hottest teams heading into the playoffs. In the last couple of games that the full offense played, the Bengals have been nearly unstoppable. We’ll see if Burrow is nervous in his first playoff appearance, but even if he is, he’ll find a way to at least win one game. 

 

Las Vegas Raiders +2000

The Raiders have overcome a lot of obstacles this season to make it to this point in the season, but the fun has to end somewhere, and we just don’t see them getting out of Cincinnati. The Bengals destroyed the Raiders in Week 11. That won’t happen again, as the game will be much closer, but the result will be the same.

 

Pittsburgh Steelers +2200

Pittsburgh needed a ton of luck to get into the playoffs, and they’ll need a ton of luck to knock off the Kansas City Chiefs. It’s not going to happen. Ben Roethlisberger’s career will end in Kansas City this weekend.

 
NFL Betting Projections for 2022 AFC Conference Winners
 

Previous Betting News

Many NFL fans and analysts peg the eventual winner of the AFC playoff field to end up being the Super Bowl Champion. Any of these teams could end up taking the top spot in the AFC, and that is a testament to how solid these organizations have looked over the course of the season.

The Buffalo Bills are the AFC betting favorites to win the conference with the top overall record, while the Kansas City Chiefs have the pedigree to make a Super Bowl run, while the Cincinnati Bengals look to establish themselves and repeat as AFC Champions. 

To help you place wagers on the AFC Conference Championship Odds, let’s examine the NFC playoff field and predict what each club’s odds are to make a run in the playoffs.

 

NFL Betting Projections for 2022 AFC Conference Winners

Buffalo Bills 12-3 (+160)

The Buffalo Bills were considered Super Bowl favorites when they first started the season, and although they have faced their own challenges, including mistakes and numerous important player injuries, they are once again among the NFL’s top teams.

The Bills Mafia will be difficult to defeat in the postseason, thanks to a top-five offense and defense. Additionally, since they are 5-1 this season at home, home-field advantage can unquestionably be the difference-maker in the playoffs.

 

Kansas City Chiefs 12-3 (+240)

Patrick Mahomes hasn’t slowed down at all since Tyreek Hill’s departure, as the Kansas City Chiefs continue to dominate with the NFL’s second-best scoring offense.

Additionally, Mahomes truly has a chance to break the NFL’s single-season passing yard record and is the clear favorite to win MVP. The Chiefs have already won the AFC West, making it their fifth straight division title. Moreover, Andy Reid’s squad is primed to get another shot at the conference title. 

 

Cincinnati Bengals 11-4 (+500)

In 2021, the Cincinnati Bengals appeared to be serious Super Bowl contenders, and they are once again competing at the top of the AFC. To secure the AFC North, they have won seven straight games, nine of the last ten, and 11 of the last 12.

Their 25th-ranked pass defense is still a problem, and the playoffs may bring more of the same. However, having one of the best offenses plus a developing defense might propel them back into the Super Bowl.

 

Los Angeles Chargers 9-6 (+1200)

With their victory over Indianapolis on Monday, the Chargers locked up the No. 6 seed in the AFC and secured their spot in the postseason.

The Chargers have all the offensive weapons necessary to contend for the Super Bowl with one of the most talented young superstars at quarterback. In order to compete with the likes of the AFC’s top contenders, they will need to clean up their defensive play.

 

Baltimore Ravens 10-5 (+1300)

Baltimore has already secured a postseason berth, so advancing depends entirely on Lamar Jackson’s injury status. Their roster simply lacks the firepower to compete with the top teams in the AFC without the playmaking QB. Before considering the Ravens as AFC contenders, we need to see them work together on both sides of the ball.

 

Miami Dolphins 8-7 (+2200)

Thanks to Tua Tagovailoa’s ability to capitalize on his deep ball with a flashy receiving group, Mike McDaniel is in charge of one of the most dangerous offenses in football.

Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle may be too explosive to slow down once the playoffs start, and adding Bradley Chubb would only help the defense get better, but it might be too late if Tagovailoa’s injury issues prevent him from playing in the postseason.

 

Jacksonville Jaguars 7-8 (+2500)

The Jaguars, who play in the AFC’s poorest division, have begun to set themselves apart. Including victories over the Ravens, Titans, and Cowboys, Jacksonville has won five of its last six games.

With every start Trevor Lawrence makes, he gets one step closer to fulfilling his full potential, which has allowed them to climb out of the gutter, and now they seem to be headed for the AFC South title.

 
Who Are the Betting and Odds Favorites to Win the 2022 AFC Championship?
 

Previous Betting News

Heading into the 2022-23 season, many felt that the AFC was going to be the dominant conference. Preseason predictions saw many saying that the AFC West could actually have four playoff teams, the AFC East would be loaded, and the race for the playoffs was going to be a battle. Heading into Week 15, the playoff picture is much clearer than many had predicted. With the Denver Broncos and Las Vegas Raiders struggling, and only one team getting in from the AFC South, there won’t be a log jam fighting for the Wild Card spots. 

The latest odds to win the AFC have been released, and it’s time to take a look at some of the favorites to represent the American Football Conference in the Super Bowl.

 

Who Are the Betting and Odds Favorites to Win the 2022 AFC Championship?

Buffalo Bills +170

Heading into the weekend, the Buffalo Bills are the #1 seed in the AFC Playoffs and would have home-field advantage throughout the conference playoffs. Having home-field advantage would be huge for the Bills, as the weather in Buffalo in January can play a huge role in how the game goes.

As long as Josh Allen can take care of the ball and stay away from making the huge mistakes that have plagued the Bills in their losses this season, the Bills have a great shot at winning the conference. Even though their defense has struggled as of late, and they will be without Von Miller for the rest of the season, this team has the chance to finally get to the Super Bowl.

 

Kansas City Chiefs +240

When the Chiefs traded Tyreek Hill away, many felt that the Chiefs offense wouldn’t be the same. Well, Andy Reid changed some of his offensive philosophies, and the Chiefs have continued to score points in bunches. Patrick Mahomes has utilized numerous wide receivers, along with his favorite target, tight end Travis Kelce, to continue to make the Chiefs offense one of the best in the league.

Defensively, the Chiefs have had a nice season as well. Kansas City still has a shot at the top seed, but with a loss to Buffalo earlier in the season, they would lose a tiebreaker. Mahomes has shown a penchant for coming up big in the postseason, so the Chiefs will be a very dangerous team.

 

Cincinnati Bengals +525

Early in the season, the Bengals were suffering from a Super Bowl hangover. Once they got over that, the Bengals have now been on a roll. Joe Burrow is quickly becoming one of the best quarterbacks in the league. The offensive line issues have been getting better, and the Bengals offensive weapons have gotten healthy. The Bengals defense has also improved. Cincinnati is in a battle with Baltimore to win the AFC North, and if they can win that battle, it will greatly improve their chances at winning another AFC title.

 

Baltimore Ravens +900

The Ravens AFC title chances rest solely on the shoulders of Lamar Jackson. With his injury status still unknown, we’re not sure if or when Jackson will return. With backup Tyler Huntley now in the concussion protocol, the Ravens have a lot of questions to answer. They play physical, and the defense has been getting better. If they head into the postseason healthy, they have a good chance of winning the conference.
