2026 AFC Championship Odds

We Three Kings

UPDATE WEDNESDAY, JULY 16: It's basically a three-way coin toss atop BetMGM's AFC championship futures odds. The Baltimore Ravens are +350 favorites, with the Buffalo Bills and Kansas City Chiefs the co-second choice at +360.

Defending AFC champ Kansas City is coming off yet another Super Bowl appearance. However, the Chiefs got thumped by the Philadelphia Eagles 40-22 in the title game on Feb. 9.

Around that same time, BetMGM opened its AFC championship odds market with K.C. and Baltimore as +350 co-favorites, followed by Buffalo at +375. So there's been a modest shifting of gears over the past few months.

In digital wagering (mobile/online), the Bills are No. 1 in tickets by a notable margin. Buffalo has 1.5 times more bets than the Denver Broncos, who are surprisingly No. 2 in ticket count.

The Bills are also No. 1 in money, though the margin is closer to No. 2 Baltimore.

Kansas City and Baltimore are Nos. 4-5, respectively, in AFC title tickets. As noted above, the Ravens are No. 2 in money, and K.C. is No. 3.

Others In The Mix

UPDATE WEDNESDAY, JULY 16: The Denver Broncos nabbed a Wild Card bid last season, but promptly got dumped at Buffalo 31-7. Still, BetMGM thought enough of Bo Nix & Co. to open the Broncos as the +1400 co-sixth choice in AFC championship odds, along with the Houston Texans.

Denver is now +1500, still sixth with Houston. As mentioned above, the Broncos are No. 2 in ticket count at BetMGM, but they're only No. 6 in money.

The Pittsburgh Steelers, now +2000 after opening +2500, are No. 3 in tickets and No. 4 in money. Aaron Rodgers will be under center for the Steelers this season, which apparently is helping generate some interest.

AFC Championship Opening Odds

The Kansas City Chiefs are the three-time defending AFC champions. BetMGM opened the Chiefs as +350 co-favorites to win a fourth straight AFC title. The Baltimore Ravens also opened +350.

Below are opening odds to win the AFC in the 2025-26 season, from BetMGM:

Kansas City Chiefs +350
Baltimore Ravens +350
Buffalo Bills +375
Cincinnati Bengals +800
Los Angeles Chargers +1100
