In the NFL, winning your division is often a sign that you can win the Super Bowl.
Consider this: Of the last 14 Super Bowl champions, only one did not win its division in the regular season — Tom Brady’s Tampa Bay Buccaneers back in 2020.
In other words, teams should start with their division and go from there.
Let’s check out the odds for the division winners at DraftKings Sportsbook as of Dec. 3, as well as what to know about each division and its current standing.

NFC EAST
Eagles: -900 (bet $10 to win $11.11 total)
Cowboys: +650 (bet $10 to win $75 total)
Commanders: +40000 (bet $10 to win $4,010 total)
What to know: It might seem like the Eagles (8-4) are still heavy favorites, and they are, but consider this: They’ve lost two in a row, including one to the Cowboys (6-5-1), and just last week, Philly was -8000 to win the division. So things have indeed tightened up. The Eagles are on the road at the Chargers next week, while Dallas visits Detroit. All four of those teams need wins. Buckle up.
NFC WEST
Rams: -145 (bet $10 to win $16.90 total)
Seahawks: +215 (bet $10 to win $31.50 total)
49ers: +500 (bet $10 to win $60 total)
What to know: The Rams and Seahawks both boast 9-3 records, after L.A. lost at Carolina last week and Seattle blasted Minnesota. The Rams are at Arizona in Week 14, while the Seahawks will head to Atlanta. L.A. owns a win over Seattle this season, and the two teams will meet once again in Week 16. Oh — and San Francisco (9-4) is just one game back in the loss column with a Week 18 tilt scheduled against Seattle.
NFC NORTH
Packers: -150 (bet $10 to win $16.67 total)
Bears: +160 (bet $10 to win $26 total)
Lions: +1000 (bet $10 to win $110 total)
Vikings: +50000 (bet $10 to win $3,010 total)
What to know: The Packers (8-3-1) remain favored to win the division, but the Bears (9-3) have climbed into second on the board, past the struggling Lions (7-5), losers of three of their last five. Chicago and Green Bay will face off twice in the next three weeks. Those matchups could very well decide the division.
NFC SOUTH
Buccaneers: -500 (bet $10 to win $12 total)
Panthers: +390 (bet $10 to win $49 total)
Falcons: +40000 (bet $10 to win $4,010 total)
What to know: The Bucs (7-5) put an end to a three-game losing streak this past week with a close win over Arizona. Meanwhile, the Panthers (7-6) notched their biggest win of the season, a 31-28 defeat of the Rams. The two teams will face off in Week 16 and Week 18, meaning Tampa Bay will have to hold off a feisty Carolina squad head to head.
AFC EAST
Patriots: -650 (bet $10 to win $11.54 total)
Bills: +500 (bet $10 to win $60 total)
What to know: Would you have guessed at the beginning of the season that the Pats would be on the brink of winning this division? Of course not. New England is 11-2, has won 10 straight, and has a victory over the Bills (8-4) in Buffalo. Meanwhile, Josh Allen & Co. are 2-2 in their last four. The Pats host Buffalo in Week 15.
AFC WEST
Broncos: -600 (bet $10 to win $11.67 total)
Chargers: +600 (bet $10 to win $70 total)
Chiefs: +2500 (bet $10 to win $260 total)
What to know: The Chiefs have won the AFC West nine straight times. Is this the year that streak ends? Almost certainly. Denver is 10-2 and the Chargers are 8-4, and both teams have one win over K.C. already, meaning the 6-6 Chiefs are longer than a long shot to win the division crown.
AFC NORTH
Ravens: -240 (bet $10 to win $14.17 total)
Steelers: +285 (bet $10 to win $38.50 total)
Bengals: +850 (bet $10 to win $95 total)
Browns: +50000 (bet $10 to win $5,010 total)
What to know: Baltimore (6-6) had won five in a row, but faltered big time last week at home against Cincinnati (4-8) in Joe Burrow’s return. Lucky for the Ravens, Pittsburgh (6-6) has lost three of its last four. Now, the Steelers visit the Ravens in Week 14, in the first of two huge AFC North matchups between the rivals.
AFC SOUTH
Colts: +140 (bet $10 to win $24 total)
Jaguars: +145 (bet $10 to win $24.50 total)
Texans: +310 (bet $10 to win $41 total)
What to know: This division appeared to be the Colts’ (8-4) to lose, but they have suddenly lost three of four, and are officially second in the division standings behind Jacksonville (8-4). Wild. Making matters worse for Indy? It closes out the season at Jacksonville, at Seattle, against the 49ers, against the Jags and at Houston. Yeesh.
