NFL Season Preview
Unlike the NFC, the AFC has a far greater split between the haves and the have-nots. While that leaves a smaller pool of teams to pick from when attempting to handicap the conference, it does mean there’s less upside to be had for a correct selection.

However, for those that prefer a somewhat safer approach to the betting board, here’s a look at the top five teams worthy of consideration when predicting this year’s AFC champion, along with their respective odds.
2019 AFC Championship Predictions: New England Patriots Odds +240
A conversation about the potential AFC champion could not be complete without mention of the Patriots – a fixture of the AFC title game in the Belichick-Brady era. Some kinks have appeared in that seemingly impenetrable armor over the past year, but this is still the team to beat in the AFC.
Tom Brady hasn’t shown any signs of a decline, throwing for over 500 yards in the Super Bowl. As long as he and Belichick are at the controls, the Patriots are firmly planted within the conversation as the best team in the AFC.
2019 AFC Championship Predictions: Pittsburgh Steelers Odds +500
The Steelers appeared to be in cruise control to the AFC title game and a rematch with the Patriots before they were stunned by the Jaguars in the divisional round. All the key faces are back.

While Le’Veon Bell’s contract situation wasn’t resolved, he’ll be on the field in Week 1.
And Ben Roethlisberger’s shown a renewed commitment to the game, vowing to play three more seasons after flirting with retirement last offseason. The team’s explosive offense and improving defense have them in position to be one of the top four teams in football.
2019 AFC Championship Predictions: Jacksonville Jaguars Odds +800
While many were caught off guard by the Jaguars’ trip to the AFC title game last season, there have been signs that this was a team ready to take off. They’ve been adding piece after piece to the defense that was finally ready to unleash itself last season.
Under Tom Coughlin’s guidance, the Jaguars have a very bright future, with that solid defense and a strong rushing attack, headlined by Leonard Fournette, set to carry this team for years to come.
2019 AFC Championship Predictions: Houston Texans Odds +1000
For so many years the Texans have just been a quarterback away from being something special, and they may finally have that player in Deshaun Watson, who showed a ton of upside in limited action as a rookie before an injury derailed his campaign.
The team’s endured some significant injuries on the defensive side of the ball as well, but J.J. Watt is reportedly fully healthy and ready for a bounce back campaign. Even still, Watson is due for some touchdown regression in his sophomore season, so it may be a little early for bettors to be getting as excited to hop on the Texans bandwagon as they have been.
2019 AFC Championship Predictions: Los Angeles Chargers Odds +1100
The Chargers have already been stung by the injury bug – as seems to be a yearly occurrence for the team. But this is a squad loaded with talent on both sides of the ball.

In an era dominated by passing offenses, the Chargers have a potential Hall of Fame quarterback with a deep receiving corps, and on the other side of the ball, they have a pair of elite edge rushers, and a pair of elite (and healthy) cornerbacks.
Last season the team started out 0-4 before closing out the year on a 9-3 run. Within that 0-4 start, three of the losses came by a combined seven points, and the three losses within the 9-3 finish all came on the road against playoff teams.
