NFL Conference Championship Odds – NFL Conference Betting Futures

Betting on the NFL conference winner means betting on the team that will win either the AFC Championship Game or the NFC Championship Game from its respective conference.

Everybody makes Super Bowl picks. When they do, they often mention which team they think will win and which team they think they will beat in the big game. Those two teams would be your NFL conference winners.

Beginning in 2020, the NFL has a new playoff format. Seven teams from each conference actually make the playoffs and only the #1 seed in each conference gets a bye in the first round. The other six teams play on Wild Card Weekend. The winners advance to play in the Divisional Round and the team that had a bye will be in action for the first time. The winners in that round advance to the Conference Championship Round.

That is where this specific wager will be decided. It is important to note that conference winner odds are posted long before the playoff teams are known. As a general rule, the teams that appeared in the playoffs the previous year are usually among the favorites to win the conference.

Here at ATS, we list the teams in alphabetical order and have tabs for each conference. We also give you the opportunity to compare odds at different US sportsbooks across the industry to see which ones have the best odds. The higher the price, the higher your potential winnings are going to be, so you always want to select the sportsbook that has the biggest number and bet with them.

If a team has odds of +450 to win the conference, they will generally be the favorites. Betting on a line of +450 means that your winnings will be 4.5 times your bet amount, so you would win $450 on a bet of $100. You are not going to find minus prices to win the conference until later in the season after some games have been played and the standings are starting to shake out.

Once you do, you can divide the odds from your bet amount to get your potential winnings. If a team is -150 and you bet $200, you can convert the odds to a decimal and do 200 / 1.5 to get your potential payout of $133.33.

All 16 teams from the AFC and the NFC are going to be listed under Odds to Win the Conference until they are mathematically eliminated from doing so, no matter how ludicrous it seems that they can win.

The conference champion odds are always changing based on offseason transactions, betting action, or wins and losses in the regular season, so keep it tuned right here at ATS to see the latest odds.
