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 Nov. 19, as well as what to know about each division and its current standing.

NFC EAST
Eagles: -20000 (bet $10 to win $10.05 total)
Cowboys: +6000 (bet $10 to win $610 total)
Commanders: +40000 (bet $10 to win $4,010 total)
Giants: +50000 (bet $10 to win $5,010 total)
What to know: The Eagles (8-2) are the only team that is currently at or above .500 in the division, as Dallas sits at 4-5-1, Washington is 3-8 and the Giants are 2-9. The NFC East is the only division with a single team at or above .500. Philly is a 3.5-point favorite in a Week 12 matchup at Dallas.
NFC WEST
Rams: -255 (bet $10 to win $13.92 total)
Seahawks: +320 (bet $10 to win $42 total)
49ers: +800 (bet $10 to win $90 total)
Cardinals: +50000 (bet $10 to win $5,010 total)
What to know: It’s arguably the NFL’s most competitive division, evidenced by the Rams’ 21-19 win over Seattle in Week 11. L.A. now has a 1-game lead over the ‘Hawks and the two teams will face off once again in Week 16 in the Pacific Northwest.
NFC NORTH
Lions: +130 (bet $10 to win $23 total)
Packers: +135 (bet $10 to win $23.50 total)
Bears: +390 (bet $10 to win $49 total)
Vikings: +9000 (bet $10 to win $910 total)
What to know: Another one of those hotly-contested divisions, the Bears are 7-3 and winners of three straight. They are followed by the Packers at 6-3-1 and the Lions at 6-4, as they have lost two of their last three. Still, Detroit is favored to win the division. Chicago’s next three games are against current playoff teams: Pittsburgh, at Philadelphia and at Green Bay.
NFC SOUTH
Buccaneers: -800 (bet $10 to win $11.25 total)
Panthers: +650 (bet $10 to win $75 total)
Falcons: +16000 (bet $10 to win $1,610 total)
Saints: +25000 (bet $10 to win $2,510 total)
What to know: The Bucs have lost two straight and three of four, but none of those losses have come in the division. Fortunately for them, Carolina, Atlanta and New Orleans are a combined 11-20.
AFC EAST
Patriots: -250 (bet $10 to win $14 total)
Bills: +200 (bet $10 to win $30 total)
Dolphins: +40000 (bet $10 to win $4,010 total)
Jets: +50000 (bet $10 to win $5,010 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 9-2, has won eight straight, and owns a victory over the Bills in Buffalo. The Pats next face the Bengals and Giants before a Week 14 bye. They then host Buffalo in Week 15.
AFC WEST
Broncos: -340 (bet $10 to win $12.94 total)
Chargers: +600 (bet $10 to win $70 total)
Chiefs: +650 (bet $10 to win $75 total)
Raiders: +50000 (bet $10 to win $5,010 total)
What to know: The Chiefs have won the AFC West nine straight times. Is this the year that streak ends? Denver is 9-2 and the Chargers are 7-4, and both teams have one win over K.C. already, meaning the 5-5 Chiefs are well behind two teams in their own division.
AFC NORTH
Ravens: -310 (bet $10 to win $13.23 total)
Steelers: +265 (bet $10 to win $36.50 total)
Bengals: +3500 (bet $10 to win $360 total)
Browns: +50000 (bet $10 to win $5,010 total)
What to know: Baltimore began the season 1-5, with its star QB battling injury. But now that he’s back, the Ravens have won four in a row (he didn’t play in one of those) and are only a game behind the Steelers for the best record in the division. The two teams face off in Weeks 14 and 18. Baltimore next gets the Jets and then the Bengals, while Pittsburgh faces the Bears and Bills next, with a banged-up Aaron Rodgers.
AFC SOUTH
Colts: -340 (bet $10 to win $12.94 total)
Jaguars: +370 (bet $10 to win $47 total)
Texans: +1500 (bet $10 to win $160 total)
What to know: This division is the Colts’ to lose, as they sit at 8-2 with two division wins to their name and a 2-game lead over Jacksonville. They will face the Jags in Weeks 14 and 17. Meanwhile, the Titans’ odds are off the board.
