2027 AFC Championship Futures Odds

Big B's: Buffalo and Baltimore

LATEST UPDATE: In the 2025-26 season, the Buffalo Bills fell short of arguably their best chance to reach the Super Bowl in years. Josh Allen & Co. bowed out in the Divisional Round, losing to the Denver Broncos.

Still, BetMGM opened the Bills as +550 favorites in AFC championship futures odds for the 2026-27 season. But Buffalo wasn't alone, with the Baltimore Ravens also at +550.

After five weeks of play, with the Bills and Ravens both 4-1, Buffalo is the +375 favorite and Baltimore the +400 second choice.

The Bills are coming off a thrilling 37-34 overtime road win over the Los Angeles Rams. The Ravens — without Lamar Jackson (ankle) — just beat the Atlanta Falcons 30-23 in overtime. Jackson is expected back for Week 6.

The Kansas City Chiefs (4-0) are closing the gap on the Bills and Ravens. A healthy Patrick Mahomes helps, but the acquisition of running back Kenneth Walker III has been the biggest key for the Chiefs. Walker already has 537 rushing yards, in just four games.

Walker has four rushing touchdowns and two receiving TDs. And that's helped get the Chiefs — who had a Week 5 bye — into the +425 third choice.

Rounding out the top five in 2026 AFC championship odds are Jacksonville Jaguars (4-1) at +550, then the co-fifth choice of the Cincinnati Bengals and Denver Broncos at +1000.

Tickets and Money

The Broncos were on the brink of a surprise Super Bowl appearance last year. After a 14-3 regular season, Denver reached the AFC Championship Game on its home field, but fell short in the snow vs. New England, losing 10-7.

Denver has continued its come-from-behind ways this season, with a 3-2 record that could just as easily be 1-4 or even 0-5. But it's not, and the Broncos remain No. 1 in tickets and money in BetMGM's 2026-27 AFC championship odds.

The top five in ticket count in BetMGM's AFC futures odds:

Broncos
Bills
Bengals
Chiefs
Houston Texans (+2500)

And the top five in money in BetMGM's 2027 AFC futures:

Broncos
Bills
Bengals
Los Angeles Chargers
Chiefs

The Chargers are stunningly 0-5 this season, plunging from their +700 opener — third, behind the Bills and Ravens — to a massive +15000 long shot (150/1).

Similarly, the Texans dumped their first four games and are 1-4. But Houston isn't as far off the pace yet, at +2500 after opening at +1000.

As of Oct. 13, the Broncos are BetMGM's largest liability.

AFC Championship Opening Odds

The New England Patriots are once again the defending AFC champions. However, as noted above, the AFC East rival Buffalo Bills are the favorites to win the 2027 AFC title.

Below are opening odds to win the AFC in the 2026-27 season, from DraftKings Sportsbook:

Buffalo Bills +550
New England Patriots +650
Baltimore Ravens +650
Los Angeles Chargers +750
Kansas City Chiefs +750
Houston Texans +950
Denver Broncos +950
Jacksonville Jaguars +1000

Indianapolis Colts +2200
Tennessee Titans +5000
