Buffalo Bills, Baltimore Ravens, and Denver Broncos headline preseason projections as the strongest AFC contenders to secure playoff berths and advance past the Wild Card round, driven by returning core talent, offensive line strength, and favorable division outlooks. New England Patriots and Cincinnati Bengals also carry solid implied probabilities around 60 percent for postseason entry following strong 2025 finishes, while Kansas City Chiefs face added uncertainty after Patrick Mahomes’ prior injury and a down year. The conference’s overall depth, with tight races in the AFC West and North, means schedule strength, early-season injuries, and divisional outcomes will heavily influence which four teams reach the Divisional Round. Trader consensus reflects these roster and matchup dynamics as the season opens.
