The NFC has been snakebitten since Tom Brady retired and Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs Chiefs have won three of the last four Super Bowls, including in 2023 and ‘24.

But as a new season begins, several NFC contenders will be out to compete in the conference with hopes of advancing to Super Bowl LIX in New Orleans at Caesars Superdome.

Last year, the San Francisco 49ers finished the regular season 12-5 and fell just short in the team’s quest for a sixth Super Bowl title.

As the season approaches, here’s a look at all the ins and outs bettors might be looking for when making some selections before and throughout the season.

Teams’ Odds On Winning The NFL NFC Conference

2023 NFC Division Winners

TeamRecordDivision‘24 Odds to Win Division
DAL Cowboys12-5NFC East+160
DET Lions12-5NFC North+135
TB Buccaneers9-8NFC South+320
SF 49ers12-5NFC West-195

Only two of the four division champions from last year are expected to repeat as division winners this year, at least according to bettors and bookmakers.

The Philadelphia Eagles (-120) have moved ahead of the Dallas Cowboys as the betting favorites in the NFC East.

The team brings in another talented squad after appearing in two of the last seven Super Bowls with one win and one loss.

Look for another solid season with the key addition of running back Saquon Barkley and help on the defensive side of the ball, including first-round draft pick cornerback Quinyon Mitchell.

The Atlanta Falcons (-130 to win the NFC South) have also moved ahead of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in the NFC South.

The team added quarterback Kirk Cousins in the offseason and beefed up the defense with safety Justin Simmons and outside linebacker Matthew Judon.

New coach Raheem Morris will have a much-improved squad that finished 7-10 last year.

2024 NFC #1 Seed Odds

Above, you’ll find the odds for teams to grab that number 1 seed for the NFC, giving them home advantage in the playoffs.

2024 Win Totals

By analyzing the sportsbook win totals set for each team, bettors can gauge how others view some of the better teams in the conference as well as some of the worst.

For example, the Atlanta Falcons finished 7-10 last year in the NFC South, but the wins total bet for 2024-25 is at 9.5.

With this wager, bettors are picking whether that team will win more or less than the total set by the sportsbook.

Someone believing the Falcons will have a solid team may want to bet a win total over 9.5.

Here’s a look at win total bets for all 16 NFC teams.

My Key Insights

  • The NFC North may be interesting to watch with coach Dan Campbell and the Lions returning with a top squad and the Bears looking to improve with quarterback Caleb Williams now leading the team and some key additions like running back D’Andre Swift and wide receiver DJ Moore. The Packers also return a quality team that became the first seventh-seeded team to win a playoff game after blowing out the Cowboys. In Green Bay, quarterback Jordan Love recently signed a new four-year, $220 million contract.
  • The Lions made the conference championship last year after decades of ineptitude that included nine straight playoff losses from 1991 to 2023, an NFL record. 
  • The NFC East should be an interesting story this year as well. Cowboys head coach Mike McCarthy is on the last year of his contract as is quarterback Dak Prescott. The team chalked up three straight 12-5 seasons but haven’t found major playoff success. The Eagles also bring back a solid team and will be looking to dethrone Dallas atop the division. Former Cowboys defensive coordinator and Falcons head coach Dan Quinn also takes over as head coach of the Commanders.
  • In the NFC South, the Buccaneers have won three straight division titles, two of those with single-digit regular-season wins.
  • The 49ers remain the team to beat in the NFC West and bettors also are recognizing this talented bunch as favorites to win the division.

2024 NFC – To Win Super Bowl Odds

After winning the Super Bowl the last two seasons, it’s no surprise that the Chiefs are favored to make it a three-peat this season.

However, a few NFC teams also stands out among the favorites –including last year’s Super Bowl runner-up, the San Francisco 49ers.

NFC Teams – 2024 Super Bowl Odds

TeamDraftKingsFanDuelCaesars
SF 49ers+600+600+625
DET Lions+1200+1200+1200
PHI Eagles+1500+1300+1300
GB Packers+1900+1800+1800
DAL Cowboys+1900+1800+1800
LA Rams+3000+1800+2500
ATL Falcons+3000+2600+2800

The Lions have surged after a massive 2023-24 season. The team began 2023-24 at +2100 and are now one of the favorites out of the NFC.

The 49ers opened last year at +900, but bettors and books have cut those odds by a third as many expect the team to be back battling the Super Bowl this season.

The Eagles will also be an interesting team to watch after falling apart late last year and then suffering a big loss in the playoffs to the Buccaneers.

2023 NFC – Division Winner Favorites

In 2023, the 49ers, Buccaneers, Cowboys, and Lions won their respective NFC divisions. However, only two of those four teams are the betting favorites to repeat as division winners in 2023.

TeamDivisionTo Win Division2023 Record
PHI EaglesNFC East-12011-6
SF 49ersNFC West-19512-5
ATL FalconsNFC South-1307-10
DET LionsNFC North+13512-5
  • The 49ers are a great team and should be dominant in the NFC West, although the Rams may offer a bit of competition.
  • No NFC East team has repeated as division winner since 2003-04. The Cowboys will be hoping to buck the trend after three straight 12-5 seasons. However, the Eagles are now the betting favorite in the division after some significant additions and are hoping to regain the perch the franchise found in three of the last seven seasons.
  • The NFC North should see a major battle among the Lions, Packers, and Bears. The NFC South may be up for grabs as well with the Buccaneers hoping to find a fourth-straight division crown while seeing a renewed Falcons squad.

2024 NFC Playoffs Wildcard Team

These are the odds for which team will reach the playoffs by winning the NFC Wildcard matchup.

2024 NFC – Player Awards

Since 2018, three players have dominated the NFL Most Valuable Player award, with Lamar Jackson, Patrick Mahomes, and Aaron Rodgers all checking in with two MVP awards each.

Now with Rodgers on the Jets, can another NGC player break through?

With that in mind, here’s a look at some of the quarterbacks to watch out for when making bets on individual players.

Betting On NFC Quarterbacks

PlayerNFL MVP OddsMost Passing YDS Odds
Jordan Love+1400+1900
Jalen Hurts+1400+3400
Brock Purdy+1600+2100
Dak Prescott+2000+950
Jared Goff+2500+1000
Matthew Stafford+3000+2100

Jordan Love returns with a new contract and a stronger performance down the stretch, including a huge playoff win over the Cowboys.

There are other strong options here to put up big passing numbers, including Prescott and Goff, but will they have enough to lead the league and grab the MVP award? Based on recent years, that seems unlikely.

AFC names appear at the top of these wagers, including Mahomes, Josh Allen, Joe Burrow, CJ Stroud, and Jackson. Of the NFC bunch, those who may have an outside chance include Goff and Prescott.

If Goff can build on last season, he may have an outside shot. If Prescott can lead the Cowboys to another solid season, he may have a chance at one of these awards as well.

But again, the AFC quarterbacks look like the better options here.

Interesting NFC Bets To Consider

Receiving Yards

Those who enjoy individual offensive stats may also want to consider a few other prop bets.

The NFC has a host of talented receivers, including Justin Jefferson, CeeDee Lamb, Amon-Ra St. Brown, and others.

Here’s a look at some of the top prospects in this category.

PlayerMost Receiving YDS2023 Receiving Stats
CeeDee Lamb+850135 Rec, 1,749 YDS
Justin Jefferson+100068 Rec, 1,074 YDS
Amon-Ra St. Brown+1100119 Rec, 1,515 YDS
A.J. Brown+1400106 Rec, 1,456 YDS

While Lamb was in a contract holdout throughout Cowboys training camp, he was expected to return for the first week of the season.

He comes in just behind betting favorite Tyreek Hill to build on a breakthrough season last year.

Beyond those listed here, a few other NFC wide receivers who may be in the running in this category include a pair of Rams – veteran Cooper Kupp and Puka Nacua, who had a breakout rookie season last year.

A.J. Brown has a chance for a big season in a reignited Eagles’ offense.

Rushing Yards

The running back position may not be as important as it once was in the NFL, but plenty of great runners remain – from punishing bruisers to smaller, quicker backs who can burst through the line for major gains.

Some key players to watch include Christian McCaffrey, Bijan Robinson, Saquon Barkley, and others.

PlayerMost Rushing YDS2023 Rushing Stats
Christian McCaffrey+700272 Att, 1,459 YDS
Bijan Robinson+850214 Att, 976 YDS
Saquon Barkley+1000247 Att, 962 YDS
Kyren Williams+1400228 Att, 1,144 YDS

Barkley has a real chance to shine on a talented Eagles team this year and Robinson earns major respect with these odds after a standout rookie season with the Falcons.

However, McCaffrey remains a stalwart in high-octane 49ers offense and could grab the league rushing title as well.

Study the Matchup & Always Shop Around

Having a few NFL bets on the line each Sunday offers a great sweat and plenty of fun. It’s important to look at some of the intangibles in each game.

Pay attention to offensive and defensive lines, quarterbacks, and injuries.

Making a few key selections offers players a chance to book some winnings and have some skin in the game as the action plays out. Becoming an “action junkie” and betting every game on the schedule may not be the best plan.

And when it comes to making those bets, shopping around for the best odds can increase your winnings in the long run.

If you look at a player like CeeDee Lamb to lead the league in receiving yards, you can find odds on Cooper ranging from +650 to +800.

That means there is some wiggle room among oddsmakers and finding the best odds offers the chance to profit more. Other selections may even feature wider ranges.

Over time, the impact of shopping around for your best available odds is a very big number.
