2025 NFC North Betting Odds

Out of the eight divisions in the NFL, there is perhaps no stronger one top to bottom than the NFC North.

The Lions, Packers, and Vikings are all coming off of double-digit wins in 2024, marking the first time in NFL history that a single division has accomplished that feat.

And while the NFC North proceeded to go 0-3 in the playoffs, with all three teams losing by double-digits and in generally embarrassing fashion, the division figures to be just as strong in 2025.

The Bears are also in this division.

Before we jump into everything NFC North, let’s take a quick gander at how things played out in the division just a season ago.

2024 NFC North Results

Team	2024 Overall	2024 Divisional
Detroit Lions	15-2	6-0
Minnesota Vikings	14-3	4-2
Green Bay Packers	11-6	1-5
Chicago Bears	5-12	1-5

The Lions were one of the feel good stories of the 2024 season, picking up right where they left off the season prior when they suffered a heartbreaking loss in the NFC Championship at the hands of the 49ers.

For a brief period of time, the Lions looked like they would not only make it back to the NFC title game, but win the entire conference and quite possibly the entire enchilada.

However, the football gods are still so cruel to Lions fans, as Aidan Hutchinson’s gruesome leg injury seemed to set off a rash of horrific luck for the Lions and Dan Campbell would watch his defense fall apart thanks to injuries, placing too much pressure on the offense to keep up with a defensive group that couldn’t stop a nose bleed.

The Vikings put forth their best regular season since they went 15-1 in 1998, as Kevin O’Connell continued to show the NFL that he’s a QB whisperer with his masterful work with former prisoner of the Jets and Panthers, Sam Darnold.

For 16 of the 18 games the Vikings played, Sam Darnold was absolutely incredible. In the two games where he was not so great, well those happened to take place in the last two Vikings games of the season. Oops. Either way, Minnesota has quite the coaching tandem in Kevin O’Connell and Brian Flores, who has completely turned around a Vikings defense that was one of the league’s worst under Mike Zimmer.

The 2025 season will usher in the J.J. McCarthy era, and given what O’Connell has been able to do with his quarterbacks in just three seasons as head coach, we should probably assume J.J. McCarthy is going to be pretty good as well.

However, sometimes assumptions about quarterbacks could be a bit premature. Take Jordan Love, for example.

After a sensational 2023 season when Love took over for Aaron Rodgers and promptly put up nearly 4200 yards passing with 32 touchdowns and 11 interceptions, Love’s numbers took a big dip in 2024, in large part due to injuries suffered during the season by Love and his wide receiving corps.

It just never felt like Matt LaFleur’s squad could settle in and play to their full potential, however, they still managed to win 11 games last season. If Love can stay healthy this season and new addition Matthew Golden can give him a reliable #1 option out of a group where there is no clear alpha receiver, this Packers team could be a dangerous one in the NFC.

And then, there’s the Bears. The 2024 season could not have gone any worse for them, but at least Matt Eberflus has plenty of timeouts to bring with him when he takes over the Cowboys defense in 2025.

There may be a light at the end of the tunnel, however, as the Bears hired the hottest coaching candidate from the past two coaching cycles in offensive dynamo Ben Johnson. The Bears are hoping they have the next Sean McVay and not the next Adam Gase, but if there is anyone who could ruin Ben Johnson outside of the city of Cleveland, it would be this franchise.

Ben Johnson’s primary duty will be rescuing Caleb Williams from the abyss of previous Bears quarterbacks to enter the Windy City and leave without a love of football. If he’s able to do that, the talent is there on the offensive side of the ball to quickly make some noise.

Now that we’re all caught up, here’s what else we will cover in this NFC North extravaganza!

• 2025 NFC North Win Totals
• 2025 NFC North Super Bowl Odds
• 2025 NFC North Division Winner
• 2025 NFC North Player MVP Odds

Let’s get started.

2025 NFC North Win Totals

With three teams in the division winning double-digit games last year, the NFC North was a haven for win total overs.

Can they repeat their dominance in 2025? Oddsmakers suggest it will be pretty close.

Here’s a look at the projected wins and betting odds (courtesy FanDuel) for each NFC North team.

Team	Projected Wins and Betting Odds
Detroit Lions	O/U 10.5 | (+120/-140)
Minnesota Vikings	O/U 9.5 | (+120/-140)
Green Bay Packers	O/U 9.5 | (-115/-105)
Chicago Bears	O/U 8.5 | (+125/-150)

• The Lions have been a friend to sports bettors everywhere under Dan Campbell, going 36-15 ATS since Campbell became Lions head coach. Campbell has also steered the Lions over their win total in each of the last three seasons as well. Will the Lions deliver another double digit winning season? Oddsmakers have set their projected wins at 10.5 for 2025. 
  
• The Vikings have cleared their win total in two of the three seasons under Kevin O’Connell, and if it weren’t for a season-ending Achilles injury suffered by Kirk Cousins, he very likely would have taken the Vikings to three straight win total over cashes. O’Connell is quietly becoming one of the best coaches in the sport, and if J.J. McCarthy is the real deal, this Vikings team can make some noise once again.
  
• Matt LaFleur respects the over. In five of the last six seasons, the Packers have cleared their win total. Oddsmakers have the Packers projected for 9.5 wins in 2025, a number they’ve cleared 12 times dating back to 2007. Feels like a team with strong bounceback potential, which is weird to say about a team that went 11-6 last year.
  
• The Bears have won 9 or more games in a season just one time dating back to 2013. They are just 7-23 in the division dating back to 2020. Their win total is 8.5 games. How much do you believe in Ben Johnson? 

2025 NFC North – To Win Super Bowl 60 Odds

Despite their disappointing showing in the NFC Divisional Playoffs against the Commanders, the Lions enter 2025 with the second shortest odds in the NFC to win the Super Bowl. A far cry from the Lions teams of old.

Here’s a look at the Super Bowl odds for each member of the NFC North.

NFC North Teams – Super Bowl LX Odds

Team	FanDuel	DraftKings	BetMGM
Detroit Lions	+1200	+1100	+1000
Green Bay Packers	+1800	+1900	+2200
Minnesota Vikings	+2200	+2500	+2500
Chicago Bears	+4000	+4500	+4000

The NFC North features a lot of tradition and a lot of history, however, the Lions and Vikings remain on the hunt for their first ever Lombardi Trophy. Each of them have very respectable odds to do just that, with the Lions going off at FanDuel at +1200 and the Vikings being offered as high as +2500 at DraftKings and BetMGM.

The Packers last won, and appeared in a Super Bowl, back in 2011 when Aaron Rodgers guided the Pack past the Steelers in Jerry World. Despite that drought, Green Bay has the third-shortest odds to win the Super Bowl amongst the NFC teams.

Lastly, the Bears haven’t been to a Super Bowl in 18 years and haven’t won one in 40, but you can still get them at +4500 if you think Ben Johnson is about to go on a story book run for the ages.

2025 NFC North – To Win Division Odds

If you figured a division that brought us a 15-2 team, 14-3 team, and 11-6 team would have tight odds when it comes to picking a winner from this bunch, you would be correct.

The Lions are the short-favorites to win the NFC North for a third-straight season, however, the gap is razor thin in the eyes of the oddsmakers. Here’s how the odds to win NFC North look as we kick off the new NFL season.

Team	FanDuel	DraftKings	BetMGM
Detroit Lions	+175	+160	+145
Green Bay Packers	+220	+225	+260
Minnesota Vikings	+290	+320	+320
Chicago Bears	+550	+550	+525

2025 NFC North – Player MVP Odds

Let’s face it, the 2025 NFL MVP is going to be a quarterback, and while the NFC North doesn’t have an elite signal caller in the division, they do have four very good ones.

Here’s how their odds to win MVP shake out as we head into the opening weekend of play.

Player	FanDuel	DraftKings	BetMGM
Jordan Love (Packers)	+2000	+2500	+2500
Jared Goff (Lions)	+3500	+3000	+3000
Caleb Williams (Bears)	+3700	+2800	+3000
J.J. McCarthy (Vikings)	+7500	+6000	+6000

After a disappointing 2024 that was slowed down by injuries to him and his wide receiving corps, Jordan Love looks to be in prime condition to put up a bounce back season and insert himself into the MVP conversation, especially if his play has the Packers amongst the best in the NFC. 

Jared Goff is once again a middle-of-the-pack sleeper with the opportunity to have a big season on a good football team. Both he and Love are worth a little sprinkle in the MVP futures market.

Caleb Williams is going to be one of the most watched and scrutinized quarterbacks in all of football, if he’s able to lift a football crazed city like Chicago out of its slumber and reignite a fan base that is one of the most passionate in all of sports, that alone could be enough to propel him into being an MVP candidate.

Lastly, J.J. McCarthy likely won’t put up the numbers to eventually win this award in the end, but Kevin O’Connell had Sam Darnold firmly in the MVP conversation at the end of last season so anything is possible under his tutelage and with Justin Jefferson as your #1 wide receiver.
