NFL Futures 2025: Division Winner Odds and Top Betting Picks
The 2025/26 NFL season begins in a week, and a host of NFL futures odds are available right now. One popular option is betting on prospective NFL Division winners. Both the AFC and NFC have four divisions. Six of the eight teams were repeat division winners last season.
AFC North Division Winner Odds
The Baltimore Ravens, who have won the division the past two years while going a combined 25-9 during the regular season, are the division favourite at -160. The Cincinnati Bengals are next at +260, followed by the Pittsburgh Steelers at +550. The Cleveland Browns have the worst odds at +3300.
AFC North Division Winner Best Bet: Baltimore Ravens -160
The Ravens are a solid bet to win the division for the third straight year thanks to quarterback Lamar Jackson, who finished second in the league’s MVP voting last season after throwing for 4,172 yards and 41 touchdowns and running for 915 yards and four scores.
Derrick Henry rushed for 1,921 yards and tied for the NFL lead with 16 touchdowns on the ground. Roquan Smith and Marlon Humphrey return to lead a strong defensive unit, and freakish safety Kyle Hamilton is ready to dominate again after signing a four-year, $100.4 million contract extension.
AFC West Division Winner Odds
The Kansas City Chiefs’ nine consecutive AFC West titles are second only to the Patriots’ 11 straight AFC East titles from 2009-19. Kansas City has reached seven straight AFC Championship games, been to five Super Bowls, and won three titles during this reign.
The Chiefs are heavy favourites to win a 10th straight division crown at -118, followed by the Denver Broncos and Los Angeles Chargers at +310 each, with the Las Vegas Raiders bringing up the rear at +1700.
AFC West Division Winner Best Bet: Los Angeles Chargers +310
This prediction is based on Los Angeles coach Jim Harbaugh, who led the Chargers to their most wins since 2018/19 with last year’s 11-6 record. In his second go-around as an NFL head coach, Harbaugh is now 60-29-1. He simply gets the best out of his teams.
And in Justin Herbert, who completed 65.9% of his passes for 3,870 yards and 23 touchdowns to just three interceptions, Harbaugh has his field general under center. Rookies Omarion Hampton and Tre Harris join wide receiver Ladd McConkey, who had an impressive debut last year, to give Herbert more assets to work with.
NFC East Division Winner Odds
The defending Super Bowl champion Philadelphia Eagles are the listed favourites here at -150, followed by the surging Washington Commanders at +225, the Dallas Cowboys at +675, and the New York Giants at +2200.
NFC East Division Winner Best Bet: Dallas Cowboys +675
In a league featuring so much repetitiveness at the top of the divisions, the NFC East continues to be an anomaly. Famously, no team has repeated as division champions since the Eagles had a four-year run between 2001-04. They didn’t repeat as division champs after winning the Super Bowl in 2017, and losing it in 2022, so we’re going to have fun and go against them here as well.
The Cowboys suffered through a 7-10 season, and Dak Prescott is now 32 and coming off a season-ending hamstring injury. However, this franchise is just one year removed from back-to-back 12-5 seasons. Prescott is healthy and has CeeDee Lamb and now George Pickens to throw to. However, the delay on Micah Parsons’ contract extension may blow this season up before it begins. These odds are great to take a chance on, though.
