Chiefs favored to win seventh consecutive AFC West title in 2022

The Kansas City Chiefs are favored to make AFC West history once again during the 2022 NFL season.

Kansas City continued its historic streak of success within the AFC West division last season, winning its sixth consecutive AFC West title, becoming the only team in division history to ever win the division six times in a row. Prior to the 2017 season, the Chiefs had never once won the division in consecutive seasons, but Andy Reid ushered in an unprecedented era of success.

For the upcoming season, Kansas City is favored to take home the AFC West title once again. If they were to do this, they’d extend their record of dominance over the division.

Here’s a look at the latest betting odds on AFC West division winners from Tipico:

Team Odds
Kansas City Chiefs +155
Los Angeles Chargers +240
Denver Broncos +260
Las Vegas Raiders +600

Even though the offseason narrative has been that AFC West teams have closed the gap, oddsmakers are hesitant to give anyone the edge over Kansas City. This time last season, the Broncos were a distant second behind the Chiefs. This time, it’s Los Angeles that is closest in odds to K.C., but Denver is a close third. While Las Vegas is a distant fourth, they’ve seemingly improved their odds from last season as well (+1600).

Unfortunately, these odds won’t stop national media from picking the Chargers to win the AFC West during the course of the offseason. While these odds remain ever-changing, it’s important to remember that the Chiefs are one of just four NFL teams to have a winning all-time record against every team in their division. A lot of that success comes under the tutelage of Andy Reid, and it won’t be going away overnight.
