AFC Conference Betting Odds

The AFC Conference (American Football Conference) was created when the American Football League was merged with the NFL in 1970. While back then there were only 13 teams in the conference, today its 16 teams together with the 16 teams in the NFC Conference, make up the 32 NFL franchises that compete each year for Super Bowl glory.

The AFC Conference is split into four divisions of four teams each - the AFC East (Buffalo Bills, Miami Dolphins, New England Patriots and New York Jets), the AFC North (Baltimore Ravens, Cincinnati Bengals, Cleveland Browns and Pittsburgh Steelers), the AFC South (Houston Texans, Indianapolis Colts, Jacksonville Jaguars and Tennessee Titans), and the AFC West (Denver Broncos, Kansas City Chiefs, Oakland Raiders and San Diego Chargers).

As part of each NFL season, the winner of the AFC Championship game is awarded the coveted Lamar Hunt Trophy, which the Pittsburgh Steelers have won a record eight times to date. The Steelers have also won the most Super Bowls of any other NFL team with six victories out of eight appearances.

The last time an AFC Conference team won the Super Bowl was in 2009 (Super Bowl XLIII), when the Pittsburgh Steelers narrowly beat the Arizona Cardinals 27-23 to lift the Vince Lombardi Trophy. Trying to predict the AFC Conference winner is an extremely popular pastime amongst NFL fans, and an equally popular betting line at most premier online sportsbooks.
