Context

The market for the 2027 AFC Championship assigns a 15.5% chance to the Baltimore Ravens and 14.5% to the Buffalo Bills, with no other team above 11%. The distribution is notably flat at the top, leaving the Ravens and Bills as essentially co-favorites. A gap separates them from the Los Angeles Chargers at 11%, and then a cluster of teams between 7% and 9% adds to the uncertainty: the New England Patriots (9%), Kansas City Chiefs (9%), Houston Texans (7.7%), Denver Broncos (7.5%), and Cincinnati Bengals (7.1%). The Jacksonville Jaguars hold a 5.5% probability, and the Indianapolis Colts are at 3.5%. Next come the Las Vegas Raiders and Pittsburgh Steelers, each at 2.4%, then the Cleveland Browns at 2.1%, the Miami Dolphins at 1.6%, the New York Jets at 1.5%, and the Tennessee Titans at 1.1%. In all, 13 of the 16 listed teams have at least a 2% chance. The “another team” contract is priced at 0%, indicating near-certainty that the champion will emerge from the listed pool. Total market volume stands at roughly $3.49 million. The individual probabilities add up to slightly more than 100%. The contract resolves to the winner of the 2027 AFC Championship game if one is determined by March 31, 2027 ET; otherwise, it resolves to “Other”.
