- The Nos. 1 and 2 as well as the Nos. 3 and 4 teams in the AFC power rankings will meet in Week 11.
- There are just six AFC teams with winning records so it should be hard to figure out the top six teams in the weekly ratings.

Get ready for a memorable Week 11 with two of the most anticipated games of the season on tap. The undefeated Kansas City Chiefs are the underdog against Buffalo while AFC North clashes between Pittsburgh and Baltimore rarely disappoint those who bet online.
Three of the four division leaders come into Week 11 having won at least four games in a row with the lone exception being the Houston Texans as they have dropped two games in a row. Keep that in mind.
When looking at the NFL futures odds, Kansas City still leads the way at +400 in the odds of winning the Super Bowl. Baltimore (+600) and Buffalo (+800) are other top AFC contenders.

AFC Super Bowl Rankings: Top 6 Contenders to Bet On
1. Kansas City Chiefs (+185 to win the AFC)
Last Week Ranking: 1
The undefeated Chiefs keep finding ways to win games. This time it was a game-ending blocked field goal against division rival Denver as Kansas remains three games in front of the Los Angeles Chargers in the AFC West standings.
In the rich-get-richer department, running back Isiah Pacheco and receiver JuJu Smith-Schuster could be returning soon, according to NFL news. Seven of the nine wins by the Chiefs are by seven points or less so the two-time defending Super Bowl champions haven’t always been dominant on the way to a 9-0 start. However, they don’t ask how, they ask how many.
Bills vs. Chiefs on Sunday will mark just the 5th game since 1970 merger featuring two teams with 8+ wins prior to Week 11

The Chiefs managed just 57 rushing yards against the Broncos and 19 of them came from quarterback Patrick Mahomes. Tight end Travis Kelce did find his way into the end zone for just the second time this season.
More than a few eyes will be on the Week 11 matchup against Buffalo. Per Chiefs vs Bills betting lines, Kansas City is listed as the underdog for just the second time this season.
1. Buffalo Bills (+375)
Last Week Ranking: 5
Despite a five-game winning streak and a 4-0 mark at home, the Buffalo Bills seem to be flying a bit under the radar. With Buffalo listed by the BetUS sportsbook odds as a slight favorite against the undefeated Chiefs, the Bills can make quite the statement this weekend.
Buffalo has a 4½-game lead in the AFC East, – quite possibly the worst division in the NFL this season – even though the last two division wins for the Bills are both by three points.
Buffalo is coming off a 10-point win over the Indianapolis Colts with a defensive touchdown opening the scoring. The Bills scored 10 points in the final 2:14 of the first half after Indianapolis took a three-point lead.
With Mack Hollins and Khalil Shakir leading Buffalo in receiving yards in the win, it is understandable why Buffalo traded for veteran receiver Amari Cooper. Check the NFL injury report to see if Cooper will be on the field on Sunday. Rookie receiver Keon Coleman has already been ruled out.
2. Pittsburgh Steelers (+1200)
Last Week Ranking: 2
Much like the Chiefs, the 7-2 Steelers are finding ways to win games. Pittsburgh is coming off a one-point win over the Washington Commanders and now comes a huge AFC North clash with the Baltimore Ravens on Sunday.
When checking Ravens vs Steelers betting trends, Pittsburgh has won seven of the last eight games with Baltimore while eight games in a row were decided by seven points or less. Typically, Baltimore-Pittsburgh games are among the hardest hitting contests. However, this Baltimore defense has more questions than answers.

Speaking of defense, the Steelers could have their hands full with Baltimore quarterback Lamar Jackson and running back Derrick Henry. Star pass rusher T.J. Watt had four sacks in two games against the Ravens last season. He will be a popular choice in the Week 11 NFL player prop bets.
Russell Wilson completed just 50% of his passes with an interception in last week’s win over Washington. He’ll need to be better than that against the Ravens.
3. Baltimore Ravens (+275)
Last Week Ranking: 4
It is a shame that there are no more games scheduled between the Ravens and the Cincinnati Bengals because it has been great theater when those teams played this season. Baltimore won in overtime on the road in October and in last week’s matchup, Cincinnati failed on a two-point conversion after pulling within a point.
The leaky Ravens defense allowed 428 passing yards as Joe Burrow and Ja’Marr Chase carved up the Baltimore secondary. Four more TD passes by Jackson helped the Ravens to the 35-34 win. That could factor into the NFL predictions.
Safety Kyle Hamilton is trying to work his way back from an ankle injury. Hamilton is second on the Ravens with 71 tackles. Baltimore is favored by three points against the host Steelers.
4. Los Angeles Chargers (+1800)
Last Week Ranking: 6
The Los Angeles Chargers are winning much like head coach Jim Harbaugh’s 2023 Michigan Wolverines – by limiting turnovers and forcing teams to drive the field to put up points. It doesn’t always receive style points but with three wins in a row and a 6-3 record, who is complaining?
The Chargers beat the New Orleans Saints, Cleveland Browns and Tennessee Titans in the last three weeks. When making NFL picks, things figure to be more challenging when a 4-6 Cincinnati Bengals team desperate for a win comes to town.
The Chargers allowed more than six yards per carry against Tennessee. They would probably be happy to see Cincinnati try to run the ball because that means that Burrow is not connecting with Chase.
Second-year linebacker Daiyan Henley had 14 tackles and a sack in his most recent game as he leads the LA defense.
5.Houston Texans (+1200)
Last Week Ranking: 5
The Week 10 loss to Detroit could sting for a while. Houston had five interceptions in the game and led 23-7 at halftime, only to fall by three points. The Texans only managed to score after two of the five interceptions. Houston QB C.J. Stroud had a pair of interceptions in the loss while the Texans managed just 46 yards on the ground.
Houston still has a two-game lead in the AFC South and now the Texans face a Dallas Cowboys team missing starting quarterback Dak Prescott on Monday Night Football. The NFL betting odds have Houston as the road favorite in Dallas after the Cowboys have been double-digit favorites in two of the last three home dates with Houston.
Will the Texans have receiver Nico Collins and edge rusher Will Anderson Jr. for the Week 11 matchup? That is just one of the questions that will be answered.
