2024 NFC North Odds

Updated: Aug 14, 2023
In 2002, the NFC Central was renamed the NFC North.
As the NFL continued to expand, divisions were being realigned, and division names were being changed.
The new NFC North would consist of:
- Minnesota Vikings
- Green Bay Packers
- Chicago Bears
- Detroit Lions
Since 2002, an NFC North division winner has been crowned 21 times.
NFC North Division Titles
| Teams | NFC North Titles |
| Green Bay Packers | 12 |
| Minnesota Vikings | 5 |
| Chicago Bears | 4 |
| Detroit Lions | 0 |
It’s easy to sympathize with Detroit Lions fans, who have somehow won ZERO division titles over the last 21 years.
That topic alone could lead us down a rabbit hole discussing Barry Sanders, and Calvin Johnson, and their early retirements from Detroit.
Instead, this article will focus on everything to do with the NFC North betting odds.
In our article below, we discuss:
- 2023 NFC North – Win Totals
- 2023 NFC North – Super Bowl
- 2023 NFC North – Division Winner
- NFC North – Player Awards Betting
Let’s Go!
2023 NFC North Win Totals
Last year, the Vikings ran away with the NFC North, winning 13 games and losing only four.
However, the Vikings somehow managed to be the least impressive 13-win team in NFL history and were bounced early in the playoffs.
| Team | Win Totals |
| DET Lions | 9.5 |
| MIN Vikings | 8.5 |
| GB Packers | 7.5 |
| CHI Bears | 7.5 |
- The Vikings’ poor play late in 2022 opens the door for the Lions to be considered the best team in the NFC North, at least for now.
- The Jordan Love ERA in Green Bay begins now. Big shoes to fill, replacing Brett Favre and Aaron Rodgers as the next great Packers QB. Those two might not be very likable, but they set a high QB bar.
- It will be very interesting to watch the progression of Justin Fields for the Bears this year. It’s his third year in the league and one that will come with high expectations for Fields.
2023 NFC North – To Win Super Bowl Odds
For long-time NFL fans, specifically those who are fans of the NFC North division, it must look odd to have the Detroit Lions as the betting favorites within the division to win the Super Bowl.
| Team | Super Bowl Odds |
| DET Lions | +2100 |
| MIN Vikings | +3500 |
| GB Packers | +4000 |
| CHI Bears | +6000 |
- The Green Bay Packers (+4000) are the only team in the NFC North to have won multiple Super Bowls. (4)
- The Chicago Bears are the only other team who have won a Super Bowl as a member of the NFC North or NFC Central division.
2023 NFC North – To Win Division Odds
The Detroit Lions managed to win five of their six division games last year, and anytime you can go 5-1 within the division, you will have big expectations as a team.
NFC North Teams – Division Winner Odds
| Team | Odds | 2022 Divisional Record |
| DET Lions | +145 | 5-1 |
| MIN Vikings | +260 | 4-2 |
| GB Packers | +380 | 3-3 |
| CHI Bears | +430 | 0-6 |
The Vikings cruised to the NFC North title last year, but they are a significant underdog to the Lions this year.
If you like to bet on division winners, the play might be to sprinkle a half unit on the Packers and Bears.
Those teams have enough profit available, even if you split a unit and bet them both.
Jordan Love or Justin Fields could step up and be a great QB, as some people expect one, if not both, to be.
2023 NFC North – Player Awards Odds
The NFC North isn’t the AFC East or AFC West, where names like Mahomes, Allen, Rodgers, Herbert, Tua, and others are gunslinging it every week.
However, the NFC North does have four QBs who have all been tasked to lead their teams into the playoffs, and as football fans, we know not all of them will be successful.
2023 – To Lead NFL in Passing Touchdowns
| Player | Team | To Lead TD Passes |
| Kirk Cousins | MIN Vikings | +1100 |
| Jared Goff | DET Lions | +2000 |
| Jordan Love | GB Packers | +6000 |
| Justin Fields | CHI Bears | +10000 |
Justin Fields at +10000 to lead the NFL in Passing TDs does not reflect his potential ceiling as an NFL QB. Fields is one of the most athletic players ever to play the position.
Tough to lead the league in Passing TDs when you might also lead the league in rushing yards from the QB position.
Interesting NFC North Bets to Consider
Minnesota Vikings To Win NFC North Division +260 FanDuel
It’s not hard to understand why we have chosen this bet to focus on.
And honestly, we could have picked the Green Bay Packers (+380) or the Chicago Bears (+430) to win the division instead.
Our main point is that the Detroit Lions are the favorite to win the NFC North this year, even though in the 21 years the NFC North has been around, the Lions have never won the division.
There are a lot of sharp bettors who will have their own power rankings and will analyze this bet a little differently than what we are doing right now.
Our analysis is straightforward. The Lions have been the joke of the NFC North for 21 consecutive years.
Would 22 surprise anyone?
Always Shop Around
Historically, when we were talking about betting on sports legally, we were referring to walking into a Las Vegas sportsbook and physically placing a bet at their counter.
When you enter a brick-and-mortar sportsbook, the experience can be a lot of fun and a great way to watch some bets play out.
However, as bettors, when we are onsite at a sportsbook, we are obligated to use only the odds offered by that specific book.
When we are betting online, the single biggest advantage we have as bettors is our ability to shop around and wager using only the Best Odds available.
When you shop around, the difference in odds offered by sportsbooks can often vary by 15%, 20%, 25% or more.
For one specific bet, that might not be a huge difference in profit.
However, over time, it has been proven that shopping around for your Best Odds can impact your overall ROI by 20% or more.
That’s a significant number.
