AFC West Odds
How to Bet on Odds to Win the AFC West
Futures bets are wagers placed on events that will happen at some point later in the season, not a single game or performance. These are bets on a more significant outcome that have yet to be decided.
Futures odds are typically available before and during the season, but the odds are constantly in flux. They change based on what’s happening in and around the sport, including team performances, roster changes, injuries, etc.
How to Read AFC West Odds
You can change your odds format at most NFL betting sites depending on your preference.
As the name suggests, American odds are commonly used in the U.S., giving you a triple-digit or higher number with either a minus or plus sign.
The whole American odds (or moneyline odds) system is based on betting $100.
The numbers next to a minus sign (-) tell you how much you must bet to win $100. The plus symbol (+) beside the numbers tells you how much you can win by betting $100.
The negative sign indicates the favourite, while the plus sign points to the underdog.
AFC West Teams
Denver Broncos
The Denver Broncos were an original AFL team founded in 1960. Behind Hall of Fame quarterback John Elway, the Broncos entered a golden era from 1988 to 1999, appearing in five Super Bowls and winning two. Denver rose again when two-time NFL MVP Peyton Manning signed with the team. Manning led the Broncos to their most recent Super Bowl title in 2015-16.
Kansas City Chiefs
Though initially called the Dallas Texans in the AFL, the Chiefs organization is responsible for many modern-day NFL traditions. Team founder Lamar Hunt coined the phrase “Super Bowl” to describe the NFL championship and lent his name to the AFC title trophy. Two-time NFL MVP Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs have dominated the AFC recently, winning three Super Bowls since 2019.
Las Vegas Raiders
The Raiders are one of the most iconic franchises in NFL history, known for their rebellious image and "Commitment to Excellence." Under team owner Al Davis and head coach John Madden, they symbolized toughness and swagger, winning three Super Bowls from 1976 to 1983. The Raiders have been on the move since the beginning of their history. They played in Oakland and Los Angeles before moving to Las Vegas in 2020.
Los Angeles Chargers
Known throughout its history for high-powered offenses, particularly during the “Air Coryell” era in the 1980s, the Chargers have made only one Super Bowl appearance. They are one of the only NFL teams to have never won a Super Bowl. The L.A. Chargers returned to Los Angeles for the 2017 season after relocating to San Diego from 1961 to 2016.
