*Our implied probability calculation uses the sportsbook’s odds minus the vigorish charged by that sportsbook. An average online gambling calculator will provide you with the implied probability based on just the betting odds. By going a step further and accounting for the vig, we find a true implied probability in relation to the sportsbook’s odds.
The Chiefs return from a bye week at 7-2 and remain heavily favored to win the AFC West. The Dolphins are 6-3 and also returning from a break. The 7-3 Ravens and 6-3 Jaguars both remain in good shape as far as the odds are concerned, but the two clubs head into this week looking to rebound from disappointing losses.
- Bye: (1) Chiefs
- (2) Dolphins vs. (7) Steelers
- (3) Ravens vs. (6) Bengals
- (4) Jaguars vs. (5) Browns
The remaining AFC North teams hold down the three wild card spots in the latest odds. The Browns and Steelers improved their standing with victories last week, while the Bengals suffered a tough home loss. Cleveland’s odds could be further impacted moving forward as the team will be without Deshaun Watson the rest of the way due to a shoulder injury.
In the eighth and ninth spots, we find two of the more intriguing stories of the season to date. The Texans entered the season with low expectations, but they’re 5-4 and very much alive in the hunt. Meanwhile, the Bills were heavy favorites to reach the playoffs at the beginning of the season. Now 5-5, Buffalo has ground to make up.
Further down the charts, the Broncos’ odds have risen in the wake of the team’s three-game winning streak. This week, the four AFC North clubs will do battle in a pair of games that could shake up the odds. The Bengals are at the Ravens on Thursday Night Football, while the Browns host the Steelers on Sunday.

The Eagles return from a bye week with the NFL’s best record at 8-1. The Lions are 7-2 following a victory last week and remain atop the NFC North. The 49ers won their first game back from a break in convincing fashion over the Jaguars to get to 6-3. The Cowboys are also 6-3 following a dominant home win over the Giants.
- Bye: (1) Eagles
- (2) Lions vs. (7) Vikings
- (3) 49ers vs. (6) Seahawks
- (4) Saints vs. (5) Cowboys
The Seahawks are also 6-3 and remain in great shape as far as the odds are concerned. The Vikings have surged up the charts in the wake of recent success. Minnesota has won five straight to run its record to 6-4 in advance of a Sunday Night Football road date versus the Broncos.
The Saints hit a bye week with a record of 5-5. They’re in first place in the NFC South standings and are favored in the latest division odds. The Buccaneers and Falcons are the next two names on the playoff odds board, which further helps to confirm that this is a race that is far from decided.
In NFC battles this week, the Lions, 49ers, and Cowboys are all heavily favored to win their respective games over clubs near the back of the pack in playoff odds. Upset losses for any of them will almost certainly shake up the board. The Eagles will be in the Monday Night Football spotlight for a Super Bowl rematch versus the Chiefs.
