2023 AFC Betting Odds

At +600, the Kansas City Chiefs are the betting favorite to win the 2023 NFL Super Bowl.

2023 Win Totals

We can spend a lot of time handicapping NFL teams and developing our power rankings.

Or, to get an understanding of how the general market ranks teams, all we have to do is look at the Win Totals set by the sportsbooks and watch how the public bets into them.

2023 AFC – Win Totals

Teams	Win Total	Odds To Win AFC	2022 Record
KC Chiefs	+11.5	+350	14-3
CIN Bengals	+11.5	+550	12-4
BUF Bills	+10.5	+450	13-3
BAL Ravens	+10.5	+900	10-7
MIA Dolphins	+9.5	+1300	9-8
NY Jets	+9.5	+1000	7-10
CLE Browns	+9.5	+1800	7-10
LA Chargers	+9.5	+1100	10-7
JAX Jaguars	+9.5	+1400	9-8

• At +1400, JAX has a decided advantage on most teams because the AFC South division is so weak. Despite having a win total of just +9.5, it’s all but assumed JAX will be in the playoffs as a division winner.
• The Ravens won 10 games last year, with Lamar Jackson missing four regular season games. If he can find a way to stay healthy all season long, Baltimore will be very interesting to watch this year.
• The Miami Dolphins scored a lot of points last year, and Tua Tagovailoa is similar to Lamar Jackson. When Tua is on the field, good things happen for the Dolphins.
• The New York Jets welcome Aaron Rodgers this year, and that move has seen them leapfrog their division rivals from Miami according to the odds.
• Buffalo and Kansas City are still expected to be the top two AFC teams this year, with the advantage going to the defending Super Bowl Champs from KC.

2023 AFC – To Win Super Bowl Odds

Before the 2022 NFL regular season, the Buffalo Bills were thought to be the next great AFC team. Buffalo went out and had an incredible regular season, winning 13 games and losing just three.

However, the playoffs proved to be a disappointment for Bill’s bettors. 

Buffalo won their opening game against Miami 34-31. In the second round, the Bengals came into Buffalo and knocked off the home favorites, 27-10.

Of course, the Kansas City Chiefs took that opportunity to remind football fans that the road to the Super Bowl in the AFC goes through KC.

The Chiefs just got by Cincinnati 23-20, before beating the Philadelphia Eagles in the Super Bowl.

AFC Teams – Super Bowl Odds

Team	DraftKings	FanDuel	Caesars
KC Chiefs	+600	+600	+600
BUF Bills	+900	+900	+900
CIN Bengals	+1100	+1000	+1000
NY Jets	+1600	+1600	+1600
BAL Ravens	+1800	+1800	+2000

Sportsbooks are united in how they rank the Top 5 AFC teams. The odds are very similar everywhere, with a little bit of value found with Baltimore at Caesars.

2023 AFC – Division Winner Favorites

The Bills, Chiefs, Bengals, and Jaguars won their division in 2022. All four teams are the betting favorites this year to win their division again.

Team	DraftKings	FanDuel	Caesars
BUF – AFC East	+120	+120	+125
KC – AFC West	-165	-180	-180
CIN – AFC North	+150	+150	+160
JAX – AFC South	-155	-155	-175

• The Jets and Dolphins will push Buffalo in the AFC East.
• Will the Chargers be able to close the big gap between KC and LAC?
• If Lamar Jackson can find a way to play all 17 games this year, how much will Baltimore challenge the Bengals?
• Ugh… the AFC South (JAX, TEN, IND, HOU) is really bad.

2023 AFC – Player Awards

The AFC is absolutely loaded when it comes to quarterback play.

The top four betting favorites for NFL MVP are all AFC QBs. 

Player	NFL MVP Odds	Most Passing YDS Odds
Patrick Mahomes	+600	+300
Josh Allen	+700	+800
Joe Burow	+700	+900
Justin Herbert	+900	+650
Aaron Rodgers	+1600	+2000
Trevor Lawrence	+1600	+1800
Tua Tagovailoa	+1600	+2200
Lamar Jackson	+1600	+4000

Of the top 9 MVP betting favorites, Jalen Hurts and Dak Prescott are the only non-AFC QBs.

The other 7 are all AFC Gunslingers.

Interesting AFC East Bets To Consider

The Quarterbacks will get most of the headlines but don’t sleep on the quality RBs found in the AFC as well.

Player	Most Rushing YDS	2022 Rushing YDS
Nick Chubb	+450	1538 YDS
Derrick Henry	+650	1525 YDS
Jonathan Taylor	+650	861 YDS

The Top 3 betting favorites to lead the league in rushing yards this year are all AFC RBs.

However, the Jonathan Taylor relationship in Indy does not currently look like it will work long-term!

Always Shop Around

Having a chance to sit and watch our NFL bets play out is a very entertaining way to spend a Sunday.

However, there are many bettors of all skill levels who also enjoy the handicapping process as well.

Diving into the analytics and stats to help predict the right outcome on your next bet can be part of the entertainment package.

However, how many recreational bettors realize the biggest advantage bettors of all skill levels have over the sports books is our ability to shop around for the Best Odds available.

Tua Tagovailoa showed last year that he is an elite QB capable of putting up impressive stats when he is on the field and healthy.

The odds on Tua to win the NFL MVP this year range from +1600 to +2200.

The difference in profit for a single $10 bet on Tua is $60, depending on the odds you take.

Over time, the impact on your overall ROI, when you shop around, is significant.
