Surprise, surprise. The Chiefs are the favorites in the AFC West heading into the 2024 NFL season.
Kansas City is a massive -230 favorite at FanDuel Sportsbook to come out on top in the division, which are the best divisional odds of any team in the NFL.
The Andy Reid-led Chiefs have won the AFC West in each of the past eight seasons and all six in the Patrick Mahomes era.
Coming off a third Super Bowl win in the last five seasons, the Chiefs revamped their receiving corp, adding Marquise “Hollywood” Brown in free agency and Xavier Worthy in the draft, giving Mahomes a pair of new weapons to throw to.
There is a newcomer in the division that could make it a little tougher for Mahomes and Co. this season: Chargers head coach Jim Harbaugh.
Harbaugh bolted from Michigan to become the new leader on the sidelines in Los Angeles, and expectations are high.
The Chargers currently have the second-best odds (+350) to win the AFC West and are +112 to make the postseason.
There isn’t much competition behind the Chiefs and Chargers.
The Raiders (+900) and Broncos (+2000) are both expected to be among the worst teams in the NFL this season.
Betting on the NFL?
Las Vegas is a +310 playoff long shot, and they have an outside shot (+1400) at finishing with the worst record in the league in the eyes of FanDuel oddsmakers.
The outlook in Denver is even more bleak.
The Broncos have the second-worst odds in the NFL to make the playoffs (+600) and have been pegged with a preseason win total of just 5.5, which is tied for the second-fewest.
