2025-26 NFL Conference Championship Odds Tracker
By Matt McEwan
Updated:
I am tracking the odds to win the 2026 AFC and NFC Championships all season long—also read as which two teams will play in Super Bowl 60—from the moment they opened on February 21. The graphs containing NFL conference championship odds below have been generated by averaging the odds from multiple sources.
You can see the most recent odds to win each NFL conference, as well as how the odds to win the AFC Championship and NFC Championship have changed throughout the course of the 2025-26 NFL season below.
Odds to Win AFC Championship
The New England Patriots are the favorites to win the AFC Championship. The Patriots took over after the Chiefs lost again in Week 13, and are given +416 consensus odds to win the conference championship. A $20 bet on the Patriots at their +416 odds would stand to profit $83.20 and return $103.20, while their implied probability to win the conference from those odds is 19.4%.
The Patriots used a win over the Giants paired with the Chiefs loss to the Cowboys to take over as the new favorites following Week 13. It is the first time New England has been seen as the favorites to win the conference this season.

The Broncos and Bills are also given consensus odds shorter than 5-1, as the three make up the top tier of contenders. Then three more teams are seeing consensus odds shorter than +850: the Colts, Ravens, and Chiefs. This is the narrowest gap between the favorite and the team with the sixth-best odds I have seen this late in the season since I began tracking conference futures.
AFC Conference odds in the table above are updated every 20-30 minutes from DraftKings, FanDuel and other top sportsbooks; if you’re not with DraftKings yet, be sure to check out our DraftKings promo code before making any bets.
Track AFC Championship Odds
Here are some notes on the AFC Championship odds movement:
- [December 2] The Chiefs lost to the Cowboys on Thanksgiving, which resulted in the Patriots taking over as the favorites to win the AFC for the first time this season.
- [November 25] A Bills loss to the Texans paired with the Chiefs beating the Colts in Week 12 was the cause for Kansas City taking back over as the favorite.
- [November 18] The Chiefs losing to the Broncos in Week 11 resulted in Buffalo taking back over as the favorite.
- [November 11] Buffalo’s bad loss to the Dolphins in Week 10 was the cause of them tumbling down the board, and Kansas City regaining the title of favorite.
- [November 4] After the Bills beat the Chiefs in Week 9, Buffalo regained the top spot in the AFC Championship odds.
- [October 15] With Buffalo’s record falling to 4-2 after a Week 6 loss to the Falcons, some sportsbooks started to favor the Kansas City Chiefs to win the AFC.
- [September 16] After Joe Burrow suffered what might be a season-ending turf toe injury, sportsbooks wrote the Bengals off, tanking their odds from +1080 to +2920.
- [September 9] The Bills mounted a fourth-quarter comeback against the Ravens in Week 1, which resulted in Buffalo overtaking Baltimore as the favorite to win the AFC.
- [August 20] Sportsbooks made it quite clear that they did not agree with Shane Steichen’s assessment of Daniel Jones giving Indianapolis a better chance of winning than Anthony Richardson. The Colts’ AFC Championship odds dipped from an average of +3850 to as long as +6000 after Jones was named the starter.
- [March 12] After acquiring DK Metcalf from the Seahawks, the Steelers saw their NFL Conference futures improve from +2750 to +2250. I think it’s likely we see Pittsburgh’s odds improve a little further if they manage to land Aaron Rodgers in free agency. Their top two WRs are among the best in the league, but they still need someone to distribute the ball.
- [February 21] Yet again, the Kansas City Chiefs opened as the favorites to win the AFC Championship with slightly longer than 3-1 odds. The Baltimore Ravens and Buffalo Bills opened in the same tier as the Chiefs, both getting odds shorter than +400. There was a significant drop to the next team, the Bengals, at just shorter than +900 odds. The team with the biggest difference in opening AFC Championship odds year-over-year was the Broncos, who opened at +6000 last year, but had the seventh-best opening odds at +1733. The Jets’ odds were a lot different from last season as well, seeing just shorter than 57-1 odds this season versus their +1500 odds from last season.
Some trends to consider before placing any wagers on who will win the 2024 AFC Championship game:
- The New England Patriots have won 11 AFC Championships, the most conference championships of any team in the NFL
- The Chiefs have won five of the last six AFC Championships
- Three AFC teams have never been to a Super Bowl: Cleveland Browns, Houston Texans, and Jacksonville Jaguars
- The Patriots have won three of the last nine AFC Championships, and four of the last 11, but all came with Tom Brady under center
- No AFC South team has won an AFC Championship since 2010, when the the Indianapolis Colts did so with Peyton Manning

Odds to Win NFC Championship
The Rams are the favorites to win the NFC Championship with odds as long as +260. If you bet $20 on LA, you would stand to win $52 and return $72. Based off those odds, the probability of the Rams winning the NFC Championship this season is 27.8%.
The Rams took over as the lone favorites after a dominant win over the Bucs in Week 12. They managed to remain the favorites after a Week 13 loss to the Panthers, largely thanks to Eagles and Lions also losing.
Sportsbooks see four teams in the NFC as the true top contenders, as each is given consensus odds shorter than +600. Alongside the Rams in this list are: the Seahawks, Eagles, and Packers. San Francisco is given the next-best odds to win the NFC Championship, but they’re a distant +1175.
NFC Championship Odds
Here are some notes on the NFC Championship odds movement:
- [November 11] Another very impressive win by the Rams, led by another great game from QB Matthew Stafford, resulted in LA taking over as the favorites to win the NFC following Week 10.
- [November 4] While on bye, the Eagles took back over as the NFC favorites, thanks to the Lions and Packers being upset in Week 9.
- [October 21] Detroit became the NFC favorites for the first time after a dominant Week 7 win over the Buccaneers, while the Packers posted another uninspiring victory.
- [October 15] The Packers regained the favorite status after Week 6, when they beat the Bengals and the Eagles were upset by the Giants.
- [September 23] Philadelphia took back over as the favorites to win the NFC Championship after the Packers were upset by the Browns in Week 3.
- [September 16] The Packers logged another extremely impressive win in Week 2, beating the Commanders with ease, and while the Eagles did beat the Chiefs in Arrowhead, it wasn’t a very convincing one. The result was the Packers taking over as the favorites to win the NFC, marking the first time someone other than the Eagles were favored this season.
- [September 9] Green Bay’s odds got notably better after a very impressive Week 1 victory over the Lions. This movement gave them the second-best odds at the time.
- [August 29] The Packers acquiring Micah Parsons really shook up the NFC Championship odds. While the Eagles did not see much movement as the favorites, their odds did worsen a touch from +330 to +380. The Lions, who have to deal with Green Bay twice as fellow NFC North teams, saw their odds worsen from an average of +496 to as long as +700. The Packers’ odds improved from an average of +1008 to as short as +650, leaping the Rams, Commanders, and 49ers on the board.
- [July 22] Bettors must have started believing in JJ McCarthy, as Minnesota’s NFC Championship odds steadily improved from an average of +2100 back in March to an average of +1167 ahead of the preseason.
- [March 12] The LA Rams saw their NFC title odds improve from +1225 to +1050 after re-signing Matthew Stafford and adding Davante Adams in free agency. The Minnesota Vikings, on the other hand, saw their odds fade from +1600 to +2100 after losing Sam Darnold in free agency, leaving second-year pro JJ McCarthy as the projected starter at this point.
- [February 21] The Philadelphia Eagles opened as the favorites to win the NFC Championship with shorter than 3-1 odds. The Lions were a close second at opening with just longer than +400 odds. The NFC team with the biggest difference in opening odds year-over-year is the Commanders, who opened last season at 55-1 odds to win the NFC Championship, but had the fourth-best opening odds this season at +900. The 49ers were one of the bigger surprises at opening, as they were given the third-best odds in spite of missing the playoffs last season.
Some trends to consider before placing any wagers on who will win the 2024 NFC Championship game:
- Since 1999, only one team has repeated as NFC Champions: the Seattle Seahawks in 2014 and 2015
- The NFC’s no. 1 or 2 seed has represented the conference in the Super Bowl 12 of the last 14 years—it has not happened in two of the last five years
- No NFC North team has won an NFC Championship since 2011 when the Green Bay Packers accomplished the feat
- The Detroit Lions are the only NFC team who has never won the conference championship
