Analysis
The Raiders' AFC West championship odds have collapsed 45% over seven days to just 6¢, reflecting either deteriorating team prospects or sharp money exiting a low-liquidity position (zero 24h volume despite $110k open interest). The extreme 1598% implied yield on the "Yes" side is a classic illusion of deep out-of-the-money pricing—the market is pricing near-zero probability, not genuine opportunity. With 263 days to expiry, high realized volatility (1185%), and a Cliff Risk Index of 12, this contract carries significant tail risk and should be treated as highly speculative rather than a fundamental mispricing.
Resolution rules
This market will resolve according to the team that is declared as the AFC West division champion for the 2026 NFL regular season. If multiple teams tie atop the division, this market will resolve according to the official tiebreak procedure of the NFL. If the 2026 NFL regular season is cancelled, postponed after January 17, 2027, 11:59 PM ET, or there is otherwise no winner declared for this division within that timeframe, this market will resolve to “Other”. The primary resolution source for this market will be official information from the NFL; however, a consensus of credible reporting may also be used.
