<h2>AFC East: Jets Were the Bettors&#8217; Favorite, Bills the Winner</h2>
At the beginning of the season, the <a href="https://www.sportsgrid.com/nfl/depth-chart/new-york-jets-depth-chart">New York Jets</a> garnered the most attention in the AFC East, claiming 42.7% of tickets and a staggering 63.8% of the handle. The hype around <a href="https://www.sportsgrid.com/nfl/players/aaron-rodgers/1536">Aaron Rodgers</a> fueled their market interest, making the Jets the biggest liability. However, it was the <a href="https://www.sportsgrid.com/nfl/depth-chart/buffalo-bills-depth-chart">Buffalo Bills</a> who delivered, clinching the division title.
Key Trends:
<ul>
<li>Favorite: Bills (Winner)</li>

The <a href="https://www.sportsgrid.com/nfl/depth-chart/pittsburgh-steelers-depth-chart">Pittsburgh Steelers</a> lead as the division favorite at -175, with 34.8% of tickets backing them. However, <a href="https://www.sportsgrid.com/nfl/depth-chart/baltimore-ravens-depth-chart">Baltimore Ravens</a> bettors have been more aggressive, capturing 46.9% of the handle. Despite the Ravens&#8217; heavy handle, sportsbooks view the Steelers as the biggest liability in the AFC North futures market.

<ul>
<li>Favorite: Steelers (-175)</li>
<li>Highest Ticket%: Steelers (34.8%)</li>
<li>Highest Handle%: Ravens (46.9%)</li>

Despite heavy backing, sportsbooks saw the <a href="https://www.sportsgrid.com/nfl/depth-chart/jacksonville-jaguars-depth-chart">Jacksonville Jaguars</a> as the biggest liability in this division.

They led the market with 32.5% of tickets and an overwhelming 89.7% of the handle. The <a href="https://www.sportsgrid.com/nfl/depth-chart/denver-broncos-depth-chart" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Denver Broncos</a> were the sportsbooks&#8217; biggest liability, but despite beating expectations, KC has been too good to topple.

<li>Highest Ticket%: Chiefs (32.5%)</li>
<li>Highest Handle%: Chiefs (89.7%)</li>

The <a href="https://www.sportsgrid.com/nfl/depth-chart/philadelphia-eagles-depth-chart">Philadelphia Eagles</a> dominated the NFC East with -10000 odds, securing a massive 72.3% handle. Despite strong betting interest in the <a href="https://www.sportsgrid.com/nfl/depth-chart/washington-commanders-depth-chart">Washington Commanders</a>, who led in ticket percentage (43.8%), the Eagles’ dominance turned them into a near certainty to win the division.
