2024 NFL Division Winner Odds and Best Bets
![NFL division winners odds and predictions Josh Allen Buffalo Bills](http://www.docsports.com/images/lib/orig/nfl-division-winners-odds-predictions-josh-allen-buffalo-bills.jpeg)
We are about a week into August, and you know what that means. It's time to predict the Super Bowl. Well, not quite. We just did that one.
Today, I wanted to share with you guys some betting odds I found, as well as our best bets for NFL division winners. As you might expect, some of the usual suspects have prices that are juiced a bit.
The defending champions of the NFL, the Kansas City Chiefs, are the biggest favorites to win their division at (-250). Not far behind are the Super Bowl runners-up, the San Francisco 49ers, with betting odds of (-210) to win the NFC West.
The Buffalo Bills are slightly favored over the Miami Dolphins to win the AFC East, and we have a similar situation in the AFC North, with the Baltimore Ravens slight favorites over the Miami Dolphins to win the division.
One of the biggest storylines heading into the 2024 NFL season is how Coleridge Bernard, better known as "CJ" Stroud, improves on one of the best rookie seasons we have ever seen from an NFL quarterback.
We already got a look at the Houston Texans in the Hall of Fame Game, and they looked good. Tight end Dalton Schulz looks to be back at 100%, and new addition running back Cam Akers showed out.
The Texans are on our radar for a best bet to win their division.

2024 NFL Division Winner Betting Odds
AFC East
Buffalo Bills: +160
Miami Dolphins: +190
New York Jets: +200
New England Patriots: +2200
As we just mentioned, the AFC is an incredibly tight race. The betting odds here are closer than in any other division, with the New York Jets just (+200).
I'm not sure how much value there is in this selection. Unless you love Buffalo here, I would pass on the AFC East. We have 7 more NFL divisions to go.
AFC North
Baltimore Ravens: +140
Cincinnati Bengals: +165
Cleveland Browns: +500
Pittsburgh Steelers: +600
I guess if you think it’s more or less a coin flip between the Ravens and the Bengals to win the AFC North, either is a good bet at (+140) and (+165), respectively.
Also, if you think either the Cleveland Browns or Pittsburgh Steelers have a good chance, 5-1 and 6-1, respectively, are solid odds. These two teams finished 2nd and 3rd in the AFC North last season, with the Browns winning 11 and the Steelers 10 games.
They both did this with massive holes at quarterback. The Steelers seemed to have shored up that problem with the addition of not only Russell Wilson but also former #1 overall pick Justin Fields.
AFC West
Kansas City Chiefs: -250
Los Angeles Chargers: +325
Las Vegas Raiders: +1000
Denver Broncos: +1400
I like the Los Angeles Chargers here to surprise a lot of us. With Jim Harbaugh now under the helm and, more importantly, former head coach Brandon Staley canned, one of the most talented teams in the league could potentially overachieve in 2024. They are due.
AFC South
Houston Texans: -115
Jacksonville Jaguars: +300
Indianapolis Colts: +350
Tennessee Titans: +900
I do believe we will see an improved Jacksonville Jaguars team along with the Indianapolis Colts. However, I’m all in on the Texans this year. Let’s hope Stroud stays healthy.
NFC East
Philadelphia Eagles: -130
Dallas Cowboys: +165
Washington Redskins: +1000
New York Giants: +1400
Shifting over to the NFC now, the Eagles’ price to win the East is slightly juiced. I can’t get behind it. They ended last season playing some of their worst football in years.
Head coach Nick Sirianni is on the hot seat. I don’t want to bet on Dallas, but the (-130) for Philly isn’t doing it for me.
NFC North
Detroit Lions: +130
Green Bay Packers: +200
Chicago Bears: +300
Minnesota Vikings: +1100
I like the (+130) on the Lions here much better. Green Bay will undoubtedly be difficult. However, I like the Detroit defense and running game to edge the Pack in the NFC North.
NFC West
San Francisco Giants: -210
Los Angeles Rams: +325
Seattle Seahawks: +750
Arizona Cardinals: +1200
You can throw a few bucks on the Rams here. I think you are better off just betting them to go over their win total, though. There is no way I’m betting against the Niners here. Nor do I want to spend more than (-200) for a division winner before the season starts.
NFC South
Atlanta Falcons: -115
Tampa Bay Buccaneers: +300
New Orleans Saints: +325
Carolina Panthers: +1100
Last and most certainly least as well, the NFC South betting favorites are actually juiced. Call it the Kirk Cousins effect. He is old, though, and we could very easily see another Aaron Rodgers situation like we saw at the beginning of last season.
The Saints have the worst coach in the league, and the Panthers are terrible. That leaves my guy Baker and his band of Buccaneers.
Best Bets
Houston Texans: -115
It's almost as if the NFL had control of the Houston Texans this offseason and made all the right moves. One significant signing after another, and the team was already very good.
If Stroud stays healthy, the Texans could go to the Super Bowl.
Detroit Lions: +130
Dan Campbell will be criticized for quite some time for his overly aggressive decision-making in the playoffs last season. I think he is fine with that, though.
I love his intensity, and let's hope that is the difference-maker over his counterpart, Matt LaFleur, in Green Bay. Looking and listening to the two men, I like our guy to keep his players slightly higher on their toes throughout the regular season.
Tampa Bay Buccaneers: +300
This may be the best bet of the day. If the Falcons lose Cousins, or perhaps, he starts to play like his age, we could see the Tampa Bay Bucs surge to the AFC South Division title.
They finished two games ahead of Atlanta last season. The betting line is ridiculous. Let’s jump on the pirate ship in 2024 and ride the Bucs to a 3-1 Christmas bonus.
