How NFL Conference Championship Odds Work
NFL conference championship odds are season-long futures bets on which team will represent the AFC or NFC in the Super Bowl. A team must win its conference championship game to cash the bet.
American odds show the potential return on a bet. For example, a $100 bet on the Los Angeles Rams at +290 would profit $290 if the Rams win the NFC Championship. A $100 bet on the Buffalo Bills at +500 would profit $500 if Buffalo wins the AFC Championship.
This page tracks three odds checkpoints for every team:
- Current odds: The latest AFC and NFC Championship odds available at DraftKings Sportsbook.
- Previous update: The odds from this page’s prior update.
- Preseason odds: The baseline odds entering the 2026 NFL season.
Conference championship odds can move after games, injuries, trades, quarterback news and other developments that change a team’s chances of reaching the Super Bowl. Shorter odds indicate a team has become more favored, while longer odds indicate it has become less favored.
