AFC East: Bills clear at 65% on Kalshi, 66% on Polymarket, Patriots gaining

The Oct. 13, 12:23 UTC reading puts Buffalo clear on top, with New England second at 30%/33% and up 5 points since Oct. 6, ahead of the Jets at 3%/2% and Dolphins at…

The Buffalo Bills remain the market favourite to win the 2026 AFC East, with a 65% probability on Kalshi and 66% on Polymarket in the 13 October 2026 snapshot at 12:23 UTC. New England is the nearest challenger at 30% and 33%, respectively, according to iPredicta’s market comparison.

The Patriots’ average probability across the two venues has risen 5 percentage points since 6 October 2026. That move strengthens their position as Buffalo’s principal rival, though both exchanges still give the Bills a substantial advantage.

New England gains, but Buffalo stays ahead

The market order points to a potential reversal of last season’s result. New England won the AFC East in 2025 and reached Super Bowl LX, according to iPredicta. Buffalo had won the division for five consecutive seasons before the Patriots ended that run.

The New York Jets sit well behind the leading pair, at 3% on Kalshi and 2% on Polymarket. iPredicta also describes the Miami Dolphins as outsiders, although the supplied material does not include their latest numerical probabilities.

Reading the snapshot

Polymarket’s AFC East market had recorded $58,328 in lifetime trading at the reading, and its full set of probabilities totalled 100.7%, according to iPredicta. The figures are a timestamped comparison rather than live prices; the outlet says it refreshes the readings daily.

The numerical snapshot puts Buffalo slightly higher on Polymarket than on Kalshi, despite accompanying source commentary describing the opposite relationship. The reported 5-point gain for New England measures the change in the average of the two venues’ prices, not necessarily an identical increase on each exchange.

What it means for prediction markets

  • Agreement on the favourite: Both venues place Buffalo first and New England second, with little disagreement over the Bills’ probability.
  • The challenger is strengthening: New England’s 5-percentage-point average gain since 6 October is the key reported shift, but it has not displaced Buffalo.
  • Precision matters: Polymarket’s 100.7% book total and the source’s inconsistent directional commentary make the timestamped figures more useful than broad descriptions of the venue gap.

Delaware vs. Middle Tennessee is Polymarket's next college football event today

Quiet quarter-hour — no significant new headline in the last 15 minutes, so this fresh sports contract leads, in a different category from the last three editions…

Delaware’s matchup with Middle Tennessee leads Polymarket’s displayed college football slate for Tuesday, October 13, with the Delaware contract priced at 53¢, according to Polymarket’s sports page. Both teams enter the listing with 2-3 records.

As of Oct 13, 2026, at 11:09 AM ET, the editorial summary reported no significant new headline during the preceding 15 minutes. That put the sports contract in focus, shifting coverage away from the categories featured in the previous three editions.

A closely priced lead matchup

Delaware’s 53¢ price sits near the midpoint of the contract-price range. The supplied Polymarket listing does not include a kickoff time, trading volume or price history, so it establishes the displayed order and price—not whether this matchup is the busiest market or has recently moved.

Elsewhere on the Week 7 page, Florida International, at 3-2, faces Jacksonville State, at 4-2, with Florida International priced at 43¢. Kennesaw State and Missouri State each have 1-4 records, with Kennesaw State at 59¢. Western Kentucky, at 2-4, is listed at 52¢ against Sam Houston, at 1-4.

Wider differences across the slate

According to Polymarket, Georgia Southern and Old Dominion both stand at 2-4, with Georgia Southern priced at 62¢. Colorado State and Texas State each have 2-3 records, but Colorado State’s displayed price is 17¢—the lowest among the eight quoted team contracts.

Appalachian State, at 3-2, is priced at 53¢ against Coastal Carolina, at 2-4. Pittsburgh, at 5-1, carries the highest displayed price in the group at 69¢ against Boston College, at 2-3.

What it means for prediction markets

  • Delaware’s 53¢ contract indicates a relatively close market assessment; its position atop the page does not establish trading-volume leadership.
  • Identical records do not produce identical prices: Delaware and Colorado State are both 2-3 and face 2-3 opponents, yet their quoted contracts are 53¢ and 17¢, respectively.
  • The supplied snapshot contains no volume, liquidity or historical pricing data. It cannot establish momentum or explain why traders priced the matchups this way.
