I dunno how accurate it is compared to many other sites, but
on this site, the current odds to win the AFC are--
Pats 11/10
Ravens 9/4
Steelers 7/2
Texans 16/1
Bengals 25/1
Broncos 25/1
I must say, I am a bit surprised the Pats are almost an even money pick. If, as expected, the Steelers beat the Broncos and the Texans beat the Bengals, the Pats would play the Steelers in the 2nd round. That is a tough matchup.
I just don't think the Pats were THAT dominant to make them an 11/10 pick. That means that if you wagered $100 on them, you would only win $110. And they have to win 2 games to get that payout. Seems like a bad bet to me.
Also worth noting that even though the Pats are a HUGE favorite to win the AFC, they are just a 4-1 pick to win the Super Bowl, behind the Packers (at 9-5) and almost behind the Saints (at 9-2). That tells you how much the oddsmakers think of the top of the NFC compared to the top of the AFC.
