8/8/15 Update:
Since this article was initially posted over three months ago, we’ve seen a good deal of movement across the NFL divisional odds. The New England Patriots, who were originally listed at -225 to win the AFC East, have dropped to -150 with a 4-game suspension looming for star quarterback Tom Brady.
The Miami Dolphins (+400 to +320) and Buffalo Bills (+500 to +400) appear to be the main beneficiaries of Brady’s potential suspension, while the Jets divisional odds remain unchanged at +1200.
It’s also interesting to see the Broncos drop from -240 to -180. Although they did lose starting OT Ryan Clady for the season, there haven’t been any major player personnel changes for Peyton Manning and company. This would likely indicate that oddsmakers are either bullish about the Chiefs prospects this season (+350 to +300) or bearish about Manning’s health.
We wrote earlier about the impact of Arian Foster’s groin injury, but it’s still worth noting that the Texans odds of winning the AFC South have dropped from +350 to +500. Other major moves include: Arizona (+650 to +440), St. Louis (+650 to +950), San Francisco (+900 to +1500), Chicago (+1200 to +1700) and San Diego (+450 to +600).
