After winning the AFC West five years in a row from 2011-2015, the Denver Broncos took a back seat to the Kansas City Chiefs in 2016 and fell all the way to the bottom of the division in 2017 as the Chiefs won again.

Approaching the 2018 season, the Broncos have the longest odds to win the AFC West this year. The Chiefs aren’t the favorites, though. Rather, the Oakland Raiders have emerged as favorites.

Here are the odds, courtesy of BetDSI:

1. Oakland Raiders +175

2. Kansas City Chiefs +250

3. Los Angeles Chargers +250

4. Denver Broncos +350

The Raiders are a bit of a surprise considering they’re coming off a 6-10 season. Oddsmakers apparently really like what Jon Gruden is doing in Oakland. The sleeper bet — and perhaps the best bet — may be the Los Angeles Chargers, who have plenty of talent but have battled injuries over the last two seasons.
