AFC West is an electric assembly, always bringing plenty of excitement but with a highly predictable outcome in the past eight years. Yes, that’s right—you’ve guessed it—it’s because of the Chiefs, who won eight division titles in a row.
Before Betting on AFC West 2024 Winner
As long as Patrick Mahomes and Travis Kelce play for the Chiefs, they are going to be favorites to win the AFC West. And we can make this a written rule. At the moment, the team from Missouri is -250 to win the title again, and that’s quite understandable given that this team is the reigning Super Bowl champion. As usual, all the defensive enigmas and problems eventually fade as the season goes by, and even if they don’t, the offense covers them.
The Chargers are next on the list at +350, and we must say we’ve gotten tired of waiting for them to explode. So are the pundits and the fans. Yet there is a catch here. All this might be the best thing that happened to LAC, because the pressure is significantly lower now. Plus, they’ve finally got rid of Brandon Staley, bringing in the legendary Jim Harbaugh, who’ll bring some toughness into the easy-going locker room.
Denver has the potential to make huge noise not just in the AFC West but also during the entire conference. They’ve changed several defensive coaches, drafted Bo Nix, and added plenty of new faces to defense. Expect much more from them than projected.
The Raiders need to figure out what to do with their QB position because they won’t be competitive. Though, that just might be the plan, to tank and shoot high at the next year’s draft.
