AFC Championship Odds Movements

The Dolphins are getting a surprising amount respect from oddsmakers and the betting public. Speaking of the Bengals, they are 0-2 but remain in the upper tier of teams in this market at +1000. The Browns slid to +2000 after losing Nick Chubb for the season. The Chargers are now +1400 after their 0-2 start.
• September 12: The loss of Jets QB Aaron Rodgers for the season following his torn Achilles suffered on the fourth snap of year shook up this market. Before the injury, the Jets were tied for the No. 4 pick overall choice to win the AFC at +900. They are now ninth at +3000. All three favorites in the AFC - Kansas City, Buffalo, and Cincinnati - lost in Week 1 and saw their prices soften slightly this week. The Dolphins and Browns made the biggest leaps. Miami moved up to +800 from +1400 after beating the host LA Chargers, and moving up to the favorite spot in the AFC East at +135. The Browns whipped the Bengals and saw their price double from +1800 to +900. Those aformentioned losses by KC, Buffalo, and Cincinnati represent an opportunity to buy into one of those teams at a better price.

• May 10: The Kansas City Chiefs are favorites to defend their AFC crown and return to the Super Bowl this season. Multiple offseason moves elsehwere left the Chiefs in the primary position among oddsmakers. The Cincinnati Bengals are the best play here right now.

AFC Conference Trends

Home Advantage Matters: In both the AFC and NFC championship games, home-field advantage has proven advantageous. But it’s been really true on this side of the standings. Home teams have won seven of the last nine AFC title games, and 13 of the last 16.

Offense Wins Championships: The winning team in the AFC Championship has scored at least 35 points in five of the last nine title games. Of course, the winning team in all five instances had either Tom Brady or Patrick Mahomes II running the show.

NFC Championship Odds Movements

• September 26: Three teams - San Francisco, Philadelphia, and Dallas - remain the priceiest picks. The 49ers are a steep +240, while the Eagles (+300) and Cowboys (+450) lurk within striking distance. The Lions are No. 4 at +1000, while the Packers and Saints sit tied for 5th +1600.
• September 19: The NFC has morphed into a three-team race after just two weeks of the season. It's the 49ers (+260), Cowboys (+325), (+350), and everyone else. The numbers on each have solidified to where you're looking at more a preference than seeking value. We're not fully sold on the Saints even though the NFC South is up for grabs. The value here lies with Detroit. You can grab them at +1400 following a bad home loss in OT to Seattle. They're still the pick to win the NFC North.
• September 13: The 49ers joined the Eagles as co-favorites in NFC Conference championshio market after the top four favorites all won on the road in Week 1. The Eagles held at +300, while prices on the 49ers (+350 last week), Cowboys (+600), and Lions (+900) all emjoyed slight moves on the upside.
• September 6: The Eagles continue their tenuous hold on the top spot in this market. The 49ers, however, continue to gain ground and have wiped out much of the gap. The Eagles have slid from +280 to +300 since the start of training camp, while the 49ers have risen to +350 from +400. The Lions have lost a bit of their luster as more mature money flows in to this market. While value shoppers have moved toward the Cowboys, pushing them from +650 to +600.
• July 28: The top three teams - Eagles, 49ers and Cowboys - have broken free from the rest of the conference. The Lions are next at +850. The biggest upward movers of note: Saints and Seahawks rising to +1200 from +1800; and the Vikings jumping from +2200 to +1500. The Panthers have seen their price tumble from +2200 to +3500.
• May 10: The NFC Champion Eagles are tabbed by oddsmakers to repeat as conference champions. Jalen Hurts got his bag in the offseason. The Eagles did well in the draft and have all the key pieces back. The 49ers are overpriced given their uncertainty at quarterback. Brock Purdy's joyride ended in catastrophe in the NFL title game. Trey Lance remains untested over a full season. The Cowboys and Lions are more reasonable plays, as are the Giants.

NFC Conference Trends

All About O: Similar to the AFC, it takes a lot of points to win conference championships, more than it takes defensive stops. Six of the last eight NFC winners scored 31-plus points to clinch their Super Bowl trip, and six scored least 26.

New Faces: Last year, for the first time since January of 2011, NFL Championship Weekend did not feature either Tom Brady or Aaron Rodgers.
