NFL futures: Can any team sweep their division this season?

The beauty of NFL divisions is the parity they often bring when teams play twice each season. Often times, trends, strengths and weaknesses get thrown out the window a bit as rivals play a more physical and grinding type game born from familiarity.

With that disclaimer out of the way, there is a betting market available on DraftKings to load up any teams to win every single division game. It doesn't happen much, but if you felt so inclined, there does appear to be a few teams to at least consider.

Potential betting choices for divisional dominance this NFL season

Kansas City Chiefs (+550)

We have to get the obvious one out of the way, Kansas City has the best odds to go 6-0 in their division this season, and it's not hard to see why.

There's the obvious, that the Chiefs and Patrick Mahomes have won two straight Super Bowls. Then there's the fact they share the AFC West with a trio of teams with plenty of problems. The Chargers have lost most of their skill-position players, while the Raiders and Broncos have major question marks at quarterback.

Kansas City has gone 6-0 in two of the last five seasons in the AFC West and should be favored in every single divisional game this season.

One of the Dallas Cowboys (+1200) or Philadelphia Eagles (+1200)

Most likely, we're not seeing a clean 6-0 record out of the NFC East, but if it were to happen, it's going to be from one of these two teams. Both teams have the Giants' number, easily dominating that matchup for the past 10-ish years, and New York could arguably be one of the league's worst teams this year.

Washington has reason for optimism with Jayden Daniels at QB, but the Commanders still feel a year away from being truly competitive.

Dallas and Philly tend to split their matchups during the regular season, but when we look at the NFL landscape, this division to us offers the easiest path for the clean-sweep feat.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers (+2200)

This is a longshot, but Tampa Bay, who went 4-2 in the NFC South and won the division last year, offers some intriguing value. The basis for any such bet in this market is looking at the quality of teams in one's division, and there's no denying that Carolina is in for another rough season, likely handing out wins to each of their rivals in the NFC South.

Then there's New Orleans, who feels due for an implosion with a regressing Derek Carr and a lame-duck head coach in Dennis Allen. The Saints don't inspire much confidence this season or beyond as they navigate some serious cap-related issues.

The biggest roadblock here would be the Atlanta Falcons, a team the market is looking quite favorably on with Kirk Cousins. We've gone on the record already of not being too bullish on this team ourselves, and if the Bucs can handle business against Atlanta, there is a path here.
