The online sports betting odds for games won, division winners, and Super Bowl champions are already available for the 2010-11 season, and while players will be quick to put their money down on the perennial favorites in the AFC, a little revision could sway their favor in another direction. While the Indianapolis Colts and San Diego Chargers appear poised to repeat once again as division champions in otherwise weak foursomes, the New England Patriots and Pittsburgh Steelers will have a tough battle to hold off the New York Jets and Baltimore Ravens respectively.

New York showed incredible improvement under first year head coach Rex Ryan in 2009-10, clinching one of the two Wild Card spots en route to the AFC Championship game in which they nearly knocked off the mighty Colts. With another year under the belts of Ryan, sophomore quarterback Mark Sanchez, and the rest of a Jets squad still learning a lot of the playbook most of last season, New York should be a force this coming year.

Ryan’s old club, the Ravens, is another team looking like it should challenge for the division. With Steelers’ quarterback Ben Roethlisberger out for at least four weeks, the time is now for Baltimore to establish itself as the beasts of the AFC Northbet. With the Colts, Chargers, Jets, and Ravens all clinching their respective divisions, the AFC Wild Card picture will be wide open for the Patriots, Steelers, Tennessee Titans, Houston Texans, and Miami Dolphins to all make a betting on NFL push.
