2024-25 AFC West Division odds highlight that the Kansas City Chiefs are once again favored to dominate the competition.
Patrick Mahomes and his teammates lead the pack with odds set at -260, a slight increase from their initial line of -200.
Having recently secured their second consecutive Super Bowl victory, the Chiefs have also claimed eight straight AFC West titles, showcasing their dominance in the division.

Will they achieve a ninth consecutive title this upcoming season?
As of August 27, let’s examine the odds provided by DraftKings Sportsbook.
AFC WEST DIVISION WINNER ODDS
Chiefs: -260 (bet $10 to win $13.85 total)
Chargers: +350 (bet $10 to win $45 total)
Raiders: +1000 (bet $10 to win $110 total)
Broncos: +2200 (bet $10 to win $230 total)
While the Chiefs are clear favorites, they will face formidable competition in the form of the Chargers, Raiders, and Broncos.
Last season, both Kansas City and Las Vegas finished with a 4-2 record in the division, but the Chiefs secured the tiebreaker thanks to their superior overall performance.
Here are key insights about each team in the AFC West.
KANSAS CITY CHIEFS
2023-24 division finish: 1st (4-2)
Bottom line: The trio of Andy Reid, Patrick Mahomes, and Travis Kelce has proven to be a nearly unstoppable force since Mahomes took the helm in 2018. This powerhouse has led the franchise to three Super Bowl titles and guaranteed a spot in the AFC Championship Game each year since his arrival. Winning the division has become a regular expectation for this talented team.
LOS ANGELES CHARGERS
2023-24 division finish: 3rd (3-3)
Bottom line: The Chargers’ odds have shifted to +350 from +300 as the season approaches. New head coach Jim Harbaugh faces the challenge of elevating the Chargers, who have not won the division since 2009. His experience at Stanford, the 49ers, and Michigan will be put to the test as he seeks to transform the franchise into a contender.
LAS VEGAS RAIDERS
2023-24 division finish: 2nd (4-2)
Bottom line: The Raiders’ odds improved to +1000 from +1300 as they prepare for the season. With Antonio Pierce entering his first full season as head coach, he has made a pivotal decision at quarterback. Gardner Minshew will now lead the team, following a mixed performance from Aidan O’Connell last year. Can Minshew steer the Raiders toward their first division title since 2002?
DENVER BRONCOS
2023-24 division finish: 4th (1-5)
Bottom line: The Broncos have placed their faith in rookie quarterback Bo Nix as he takes the reins for Week 1. Once the last team to win the AFC West before the Chiefs’ current reign, Denver now faces the longest odds, with their line moving to +2200 after starting at +950 in March. Can Nix turn the tide for the struggling franchise?
