Cincinnati has the next-best odds at +265, followed by the Steelers at +425. Pittsburgh made the playoffs last year but lost its chance at a divisional crown after dropping four straight games to end the regular season. Cleveland rounds out the divisional odds as a distant fourth at +3300 odds.

AFC East Division Odds

Buffalo is the heaviest favorite in the preseason 2025-26 NFL division odds. The Bills are listed at -350 to win their sixth consecutive division title.

The Patriots are a distant second at +575 odds. New England finished last in the division last season, but expectations are high entering year two of the Drake Maye experience. Miami is listed at +700, and the Jets round out the division at 20-1 odds.

AFC South Division Odds

The Texans are also favored to repeat as division champs at -115. Houston is available at -115 to win its third division title in three years with CJ Stroud at quarterback.

Jacksonville and Indianapolis are in a close battle for second place at +300 and +340, respectively. Tennessee and first overall pick Cam Ward have the lowest chances to win the AFC South at +950 in the latest division odds at NFL site

AFC West Division Odds

The Chiefs are -130 favorites to win their 10th straight AFC West division title. If they win the West again, Kansas City would be one short of the all-time record. Tom Brady’s Patriots set the record with 11 consecutive division wins from 2009 to 2019.

Denver has the shortest odds to upset the Chiefs for the divisional title at +275. The Los Angeles Chargers are close third at +325. Las Vegas, which is now partially owned by Brady, has the longest odds at 16-1.

NFC North Division Odds

The NFC North is arguably the toughest division in the NFL, so it is only fitting that no team has an implied win probability over 50%. Detroit, which won the North last year, has the best odds at +135. The Lions’ odds offer an implied win probability of 42.55%.

Green Bay and Minnesota, which both made the playoffs last year, are listed at +250 and +325, respectively. Chicago has the lowest chances at +525 odds.

NFC East Division Odds

The NFC East has not had a repeat champion in two decades, but the defending champion Eagles are -160 favorites to end that streak.

Washington has the second-best odds to win the NFC East at +230. The Commanders made it to the NFC Championship Game last year and split their regular-season series with Philly. Dallas is third at +575 odds, with the Giants rounding out the division at 22-1.

NFC South Division Odds

Tampa Bay is also an odds-on favorite to successfully defend its division crown. The Buccaneers are listed at -110 to win the NFC South for the fifth consecutive season.

Atlanta has the best odds to upset the Bucs for the division at +205. Carolina (+425) and New Orleans (+1500) are both long shots in the latest NFC South Division odds. If the Panthers win, it would be their first divisional title since their 15-1 season in 2015.

NFC West Division Odds

The 49ers are the only team favored to go from worst to first this season. Despite finishing last in the NFC West last year, San Francisco is listed at +160 odds to win the division. They have the longest odds of any division favorite.

Los Angeles is a close second at +175 odds to win the NFC West. Arizona (+450) and Seattle (+475) round out the latest division winner odds.

AFC North Favorites

• • Baltimore Ravens (-160)
  • Cincinnati Bengals (+265)

Cleveland is Cleveland, and the Steelers are pinning their playoff hopes to a washed-up 41-year-old Aaron Rodgers. So, the AFC North will come down to Baltimore and Cincinnati.

The Ravens have a better defense, a functioning offensive line, and a great run game. So, it is not surprising that Baltimore is the -160 favorite. However, despite their flaws, the Bengals still almost made the playoffs last year and offer a lot of value at +265.

AFC East Favorites

• • Buffalo Bills (-350)

The only true contender for the AFC East title is the Buffalo Bills. Reigning MVP Josh Allen is far and away the best quarterback in the division. Buffalo also has the best defense in the division, as well as a nearly insurmountable home-field advantage.

AFC South Favorites

• • Houston Texans (-115)
  • Jacksonville Jaguars (+300)
  • Indianapolis Colts (+340)

The Texans have won the AFC South every year of CJ Stroud’s career, and they are -115 favorites to claim the divisional title again this season. Jacksonville (+300) and Indianapolis (+340) are in a close battle for the second-best odds to win the AFC South.

Houston was nearly derailed by injuries last season. The Texans have already been hit with injuries this year, which could open the door for the Jags or Colts to dethrone them.

AFC West Favorites

• • Kansas City Chiefs (-130)
  • Denver Broncos (+275)

Speaking of close divisional races, three of the four teams from the AFC West made the playoffs last year. KC is the -130 favorite to win the division again. However, Denver is not far behind at +275.

Kansas City has a near-perfect record against divisional opponents with Patrick Mahomes as its starting quarterback. On the other hand, the Chiefs face a tough schedule, and the Broncos are a team on the rise.

NFC North Favorites

• • Detroit Lions (+135)
  • Green Bay Packers (+250)

Like the AFC West, three teams from the NFC North made the playoffs last season. Detroit’s 15-2 record just edged out Minnesota (14-3) for the division crown. The Lions are +135 to win the NFC North for the third consecutive year.

Green Bay are second in the current division winner odds at +250. Detroit is attempting to replace both coordinators, which is easier said than done. Green Bay, conversely, needs a receiver to step up to replace the injured Christian Watson. If they can find a WR1, and Jordan Love stays healthy, the Packers could dethrone the Lions.

NFC East Favorites

• • Philadelphia Eagles (-160)
  • Washington Commanders (+230)

Philadelphia is coming off a dominant win over the Chiefs in the Super Bowl, but now they face an even tougher test: repeating as NFC East champions. The East has not seen a back-to-back champion in over 20 years.

Philly is listed at -160 to win the division again. The only real competition preventing another Eagles’ division title is the Commanders, who are available at +230 odds. Washington split their regular-season series with Philadelphia last year, and expectations are high for second-year quarterback Jayden Daniels.

NFC South Favorites

• • Tampa Bay Buccaneers (-110)
  • Atlanta Falcons (+205)

Atlanta swept Tampa Bay last season, but the Buccaneers got the last laugh by winning the division. It was Tampa’s fourth straight division title win, and they are listed at -110 to win the division again this year.

The Falcons, on the other hand, started 6-3 but fell apart in the second half of the season, finishing 8-9 and missing the playoffs. Atlanta made a change at quarterback, and second-year QB Michael Penix Jr. will attempt to win the Falcons their first division title since 2016.

NFC West Favorites

• • San Francisco 49ers (+160)
  • Los Angeles Rams (+175)

The NFC West has the closest battle for the top spot of any division. San Francisco is the betting favorite at +160, but LA is hot on their heels at +175. The 49ers and Rams have implied win probabilities of 38.46% and 36.36%, respectively.

LA won the division last year after a dismal 2-4 start. However, Matt Stafford’s back injury could derail their season before it starts.

San Francisco finished dead last in the division a year ago, due in large part to injuries to multiple offensive stars. Some of those starters, such as Brandon Aiyuk, are still recovering. Others were traded in the offseason, putting more pressure on quarterback Brock Purdy.

AFC Division Sleepers

• • Miami Dolphins (+700)
  • Los Angeles Chargers (+340)

My two sleepers in the AFC are Miami (+700) and Los Angeles (+340).

The Dolphins were undercut by injuries last season, and Tua Tagovailoa struggles in the cold. However, if Miami can start hot and Josh Allen stumbles, the Dolphins are the best bet to steal the division title. A strong start would also help Mike McDaniel avoid being the first coach fired in 2025.

Los Angeles, on the other hand, finished fifth in the AFC last season but has the second-longest odds to win the AFC West. Kansas City is unlikely to win 15 games again, and the Chargers have a chance to earn an early half-game advantage over KC if they can beat them in Week 1.

NFC Division Sleepers

• • Chicago Bears (+525)
  • Seattle Seahawks (+475)

In the NFC, the Bears (+525) and Seahawks (+475) are the top divisional winner sleeper bets.

Chicago has the longest odds to win the North, but the teams ahead of them all have unique challenges. Detroit lost both its coordinators, Minnesota is transitioning to a new QB, and Green Bay does not have a WR1.

Seattle also has the lowest odds of winning its division at +475. The Seahawks revamped their offense, swapping Geno Smith and DK Metcalf for Sam Darnold and Cooper Kupp. San Francisco and LA are already dealing with injuries, giving Seattle a prime opportunity to win the NFC West.
