AFC Conference Betting Odds

The AFC was created when the American Football League merged with the NFL in 1970. Back then there were 13 teams in the conference. Since then there have been five expansion teams (the most recent being the Houston Texans in 2002) and two teams have left the conference, giving us the current total of sixteen franchises. Some of the best known teams that play in the AFC are the New England Patriots, the Oakland Raiders, and the Pittsburgh Steelers, who as of 2009 are the defending Super Bowl champions.

NFL futures bets are extremely popular and before the start of the regular season there is betting value in trying to predict the AFC Conference winner, who then goes on to play in the Super Bowl against the team that wins the NFC Championship. AFC Conference odds are offered by all the leading online bookmakers and betting with our recommended sportsbooks is a safe and secure way to wager on which team will emerge as the newest powerhouse in this ultra-competitive conference.

The winner of the AFC Championship game is awarded the Lamar Hunt Trophy. The Pittsburgh Steelers have won the most AFC titles, with seven victories. Interestingly, they are also the team that has lost the most AFC Championship games, and that total also stands at 7. The Cincinnati Bengals are currently going through the longest drought of not appearing in the AFC Championship game as their last appearance was 20 years ago. The Houston Texans are the only AFC team never to go to the title game, but that is understandable as they have only existed for 7 years.
