For 20 seasons, the AFC Conference belonged predominantly to just one man.
And then that man moved his talents to Tampa Bay, and his conference ownership switched from the AFC to the NFC.
Now that Tom Brady has retired, the NFC Conference is once again wide open.
The Philadelphia Eagles and their 14-3 regular season record in 2022 are the defending NFC Champs.
Teams’ Odds On Winning The NFL NFC Conference
2022 NFC Division Winners
Team | Record | Division | ‘23 Odds to Win Division |
PHI Eagles | 14-3 | NFC East | -115 |
MIN Vikings | 13-4 | NFC North | +260 |
TB Buccaneers | 8-9 | NFC South | +750 |
SF 49ers | 13-4 | NFC West | -165 |
Only two of the four division champions from last year are expected to repeat as division winners this year.
The Detroit Lions have passed the Minnesota Vikings as the betting favorites in the NFC North.
Meanwhile – the difference between Tom Brady at QB and Baker Mayfield at QB is significant, which explains why the Bucs are +750 to repeat as NFC South Champs.

Let’s Go!
2023 Win Totals
By analyzing the sportsbook Win Totals set for each team, we understand how the betting public views which teams are good and which are not.
When you see that the New Orleans Saints won seven games in 2022 but have a win total of +9.5 in 2023, you know something is significantly different in the NFC South this year.
2023 NFC – Win Totals
Teams | Win Total | Odds To Win NFC | 2022 Record |
PHI Eagles | +11.5 | +330 | 14-3 |
SF 49ers | +10.5 | +400 | 13-4 |
DET Lions | +9.5 | +800 | 9-8 |
N.O. Saints | +9.5 | +1700 | 7-10 |
DAL Cowboys | +9.5 | +600 | 12-5 |
- With the Rams and Cardinals expected to be bad, San Francisco has a relatively favorable divisional schedule if they can handle their business against the Seahawks.
- Eagles and Cowboys will have two games H2H to decide who the best NFC East team is.
- The Saints won only seven games last year, but with the arrival of Derek Carr and the removal of TB12 from the division, the balance of power in the NFC South has shifted.
- The Detroit Lions are actually the favorites to win the NFC North. Between Aaron Rodgers and Brett Favre, I can’t imagine too many times the Lions were the betting favorite.
2023 NFC – To Win Super Bowl Odds
In last year’s Super Bowl, the Philadelphia Eagles were the betting favorite, but ultimately, the underdog KC Chiefs won the big game outright.
NFC Teams – 2023 Super Bowl Odds
Team | DraftKings | FanDuel | Caesars |
PHI Eagles | +650 | +800 | +750 |
SF 49ers | +1000 | +1000 | +900 |
DAL Cowboys | +1400 | +1400 | +1500 |
DET Lions | +2200 | +2100 | +2200 |
MIN Vikings | +3500 | +3500 | +4000 |
SEA Seahawks | +3000 | +3500 | +3500 |
In 2022, the Eagles opened at +4000. They were as high as +4500 until they started winning almost every regular season game they played. (14-3)
Although Philly fell short in the Super Bowl, I’m sure many of the bettors who had 40-1 longshot tickets hedged enough on the final game to have a good time watching the Super Bowl playout.
2023 NFC – Division Winner Favorites
In 2022, the Eagles, 49ers, Buccaneers, and Minnesota Vikings won their respective NFC divisions.
However, only two of those four teams are the betting favorite to repeat as division winners in 2023.
Team | Division | To Win Division | 2022 Record |
PHI Eagles | NFC East | -115 | 14-3 |
SF 49ers | NFC West | -165 | 13-4 |
N.O. Saints | NFC South | +130 | 7-10 |
DET Lions | NFC North | +145 | 9-8 |
- The 49ers are a great team, and realistically, only the Seahawks will push them in the NFC West.
- The NFC East is the strongest division overall by far. The Eagles and Cowboys were great teams last year. The Giants were good, and the Commanders finished last in the division with a .500 record. (8-8-1)
- Anything goes in the NFC South. On paper, the Saints look the strongest. But none of those teams are proven winners.
2023 NFC – Player Awards
When it comes to individual quarterback play, the NFC just doesn’t compare with the talented names throwing the ball in the AFC.
However, there are still a lot of very good offenses in the NFC, and there will be a bunch of NFC quarterbacks who put up impressive stats in 2023.
Betting On NFC Quarterbacks
Player | NFL MVP Odds | Most Passing YDS Odds |
Jalen Hurts | +1200 | +3200 |
Dak Prescott | +1600 | +2000 |
Justin Fields | +2000 | +10000 |
Jared Goff | +2600 | +2500 |
Geno Smith | +3000 | +3000 |
Jalen Hurts should be considered one of the game’s most elite QBs, if not the game’s best.
But after Hurts, you start to find a lot of very good QBs, but not a lot of great ones.
The AFC offers names like Mahomes, Allen, Burrow, Herbert, and more.
However, Jared Goff and Geno Smith both put up impressive 2022 statistical seasons, and trying to determine where they will rank in 2023 is the skill we are after.
Interesting NFC Bets To Consider
The NFC is home to some of the game’s most talented receivers, including Justin Jefferson and Cooper Kupp.
When betting on a player to lead the NFL in receiving yards this year, many NFC receivers are elite and deserve consideration.
Player | Most Receiving YDS | 2022 Receiving Stats |
Justin Jefferson | +500 | 128 Rec, 1,809 YDS |
Cooper Kupp | +1200 | 75 Rec, 812 YDS |
A.J. Brown | +1600 | 88 Rec, 1,496 YDS |
With 128 catches and over 1800 yards in 2022, Justin Jefferson is the betting favorite to lead the NFL in receiving yards this year.
Cooper Kupp is only a year removed from putting up 1,947 receiving yards.
But so much of Kupp’s success would depend on the health of QB Matt Stafford.
Always Shop Around
There is no doubt that having a few NFL bets on the line during a Sunday afternoon can be a very entertaining way to spend time with friends and family.
However, for many recreational bettors, the thrill of beating the books is as much excitement as watching the game play out.
Spending time in the data science lab, crunching numbers, and analyzing stats can also be a pretty enjoyable experience.
But do the majority of sports bettors realize that the most significant tool we have at our disposal is the ability to shop around for the Best Odds available?
If you look at a player like Cooper Kupp to lead the league in receiving yards, you can find odds on Cooper ranging from +900 to +1200.
If Cooper Kupp were to lead the league in receiving yards yet again, there would be a significant difference in profit between +900 and +1200.
Over time, the impact of shopping around for your best available odds is a very big number.

1. Log into your account at your favorite sportsbook.

3. Select the ‘Team Futures’ tab.
4. Choose the ‘Conference Winner’ subject.
5. Go to the NFC and click on the team you’ll bet on.
6. Place your wager from the bet slip tab on the right side of the screen.
