We are just a little over one month removed from Super Bowl LX, and yet so much has already transpired in the 2026 NFL offseason. The NFL Combine is over, and before we turn our attention to the draft coming up next month, teams are finalizing deals with free agents and pulling off trades. <\/p>

The offseason is all about improving the overall balance of the squad and ensuring the correct personnel is in place for the upcoming football season. Irrespective of where teams finished the previous season, that is in the past. <\/p>

So, each new season brings about its own set of challenges, and depending on how the offseason goes, team fortunes can change rapidly. As most of the team’s rosters start to take shape, this article will be about the early odds for the AFC West division winners.  <\/p>

2025-26 AFC West Recap<\/h2>

Before looking ahead at the 2026-27 NFL season<\/a>, here is a quick summary of how the AFC West shaped up last season to give us an idea of where things stood prior to the offseason. <\/p>

The Denver Broncos ended a run of 9 straight seasons that saw the Kansas City Chiefs winning the division. With a (14-3) record, the Broncos clinched the AFC West, just as the Chargers with an (11-6) claimed second spot. Denver and LA both made the playoffs, but the latter was bounced in the Wild Card round by the Patriots, whereas the former lost to the same team in the AFC Championship game.<\/p>

The Chiefs went from all-out domination to a losing season (6-11), culminating in missing the postseason for the first time in the Patrick Mahomes era. Last but not least, the Las Vegas Raiders finished with one of their worst seasons (3-14), coming last in the division for the second year running. <\/p>
