Betting odds to win the NFC: Top-heavy conference offers interesting value

Yardbarker has been serving up NFL futures left and right. Odds to win the division, team-by-team win totals, individuals to win MVP — you name it.

Next, we're taking a holistic view of each conference by looking at the betting odds for each team to reach the Super Bowl out of the NFC. The net is spread: We like a favorite, but we also like a team with odds north of +1000.

To Win the NFC Betting Odds

Below are the odds for each NFC team to win the conference, prices available on DraftKings.

  1. Tampa Bay Buccaneers (+330)
  2. Green Bay Packers (+400)
  3. Los Angeles Rams (+550)
  4. San Francisco 49ers (+750)
  5. Dallas Cowboys (+900)
  6. Philadelphia Eagles (+1100)
  7. Minnesota Vikings (+1800)
  8. New Orleans Saints (+2000)
  9. Arizona Cardinals (+2000)
  10. Washington Commanders (+3500)
  11. Detroit Lions (+6000)
  12. New York Giants (+6000)
  13. Carolina Panthers (+7000)
  14. Chicago Bears (+7000)
  15. Seattle Seahawks (+8000)
  16. Atlanta Falcons (+10000)

The top of the board is understandable. The Bucs are just one year removed from winning the Super Bowl and have much of their core still in place. The Packers have Aaron Rodgers who has won two straight MVPs. The Rams are the defending champs and have maintained most of the roster that just won it all.

Those three teams feel like the most definite postseason participants in the NFC. We'll have to highlight one of them to win the conference here, but we'd like to look down the list a bit to find some value to root on as well.

Green Bay Packers +400

Aaron Rodgers and Green Bay have owned home-field advantage for two straight seasons and have squandered it each time. Davante Adams is gone, but as the offseason goes on, I am becoming less and less concerned about that absence.

Rodgers is one of the best quarterbacks to ever play the game, and I'm confident he'll elevate the group around him and keep this offense humming on all cylinders.

Where the Packers are set to differentiate themselves is on the defensive side of the football. Green Bay had a top 10 defense last season by a few various counts. They ranked inside the top 10 of lowest points and yards allowed per game, and Pro Football Focus graded out their defensive unit as the third best overall in the NFL.

The team has impact players at all three levels in Jaire Alexander, Rashan Gary and De'Vondre Campbell. Green Bay had two first-round picks this year, using them both on members of the Georgia defense that won the national championship.

This defense projects to smother opponents, making Rodgers and Co.'s job much easier.

An important factor to remember when betting on futures like this is a team's path to making the postseason. While we can be optimistic about the Lions all we want as we watch them on HBO's Hard Knocks, they are a ways away. Then the Bears feel set to be one of the worst teams in the league this year.

Green Bay gets each of these teams twice, a nice padding of the schedule. The Packers are the team I feel most confident about making the playoffs, and as such they're my favorites to advance to the Super Bowl at +400.

Philadelphia Eagles +1100

For our regular readers — we salute you! — you've likely seen some love come to the Eagles from this writer. Philadelphia has had an offseason that injects optimism and infatuation.

They traded for a star at WR in AJ Brown to pair with second-year DeVonta Smith. They signed James Bradberry at corner to form a smothering CB duo with Pro Bowler Darius Slay.

They return what was the best offensive line in football last season and the defensive line has improvements all over the place, from first- round pick Jordan Davis, Super Bowl hero Brandon Graham back from injury and star edge rusher Hassaan Reddick.

This team has invested in premium positions in the trenches and outside. They are +1100 because of the uncertainty around Jalen Hurts, but this is a bet I've locked in because of how talented this team is everywhere else on the field. Continued growth by Hurts will go a long way for the Eagles. This is a team that should win the NFC East and could be a tough out come January.
