Detroit Lions (+150)

After coming up short against the 49ers in last year’s NFC Championship Game, the Lions are the team to beat in the NFC. Quarterback Jared Goff is leading the way with an NFL MVP-caliber year, while the two-headed running back tandem of David Montgomery and Jahmyr Gibbs have been stellar on the ground.

Detroit’s defense suffered a huge blow with Aidan Hutchinson’s season-ending injury, but its offense is so good that it may not matter. The Lions are tied with the Kansas City Chiefs for the NFL’s best record at 11-1.

Philadelphia Eagles (+240)

Another talented team with flaws, the Eagles have turned things around after an uneven start. They’ve surrounded Jalen Hurts with elite playmakers like Saquon Barkley, A.J. Brown and DeVonta Smith, building one of the league’s most potent offenses.

The defense has stepped up after a poor start and seems to be rounding into form. Head coach Nick Sirianni continues to be a distraction and frequently makes baffling in-game decisions, which could end up holding the team back.

Betting on a team to win the NFC is straightforward and follows the same process as betting on a team to win the Super Bowl or a player to win NFL MVP.

Simply go to your favorite sportsbook, find the “Futures” tab under the NFL section, and scroll down to NFC Champion.

Choose the team you want to wager on to add them to your bet slip. Once you’ve done that, enter your bet amount and press “Submit.”

Your bet will settle at the odds of the time you placed your wager. So if you bet on the Philadelphia Eagles in Week 7 at +2000 odds and their odds shrink to +1000 by Week 10, your wager will be paid out at +2000.

Teams typically have plus odds to win the NFC, meaning you stand to win more money than you risk. For example, if you bet $10 on the Detroit Lions to win the NFC at +500, you stand to win $50 in profits along with your original stake.

Conference winner odds are usually half of a team’s Super Bowl odds. So if the San Francisco 49ers are +600 to win the Super Bowl, a sportsbook will typically have them around +300 to win the NFC.

That’s because you have a 1 in 16 chance of picking a conference winner correctly compared to a 1 in 32 chance of picking the Super Bowl winner correctly.

NFC winner odds are released before the season starts, typically right after the Super Bowl ends. Odds will fluctuate throughout the year, however, based on team performance, injuries, trades and other developments.

For example, say the Dallas Cowboys have +800 odds to win the NFC before the season starts. If they open the year 7-1, their odds will be considerably shorter by Week 9, as they’ll have an easier path to winning the NFC.

Conversely, if the Cowboys start 2-5 or Dak Prescott suffers a season-ending injury, their odds will be much longer by Week 9 since it will be much harder for them to reach the Super Bowl.

Generally speaking, the earlier you bet on a team to win the NFC, the longer the odds will be because there’s more uncertainty. Your potential payout will be higher, but there’s more risk involved because of all the variables at play.

The longer you wait, the shorter the odds will be for a favorite as frontrunners emerge and teams fall out of contention. Your bet has a better chance of winning, but your payout will be lower.

The NFC Championship Game doesn’t take place until late January, so keep that in mind when making your wagers. You’ll have to wait until that game is over to receive your payout, so you don’t want to lock up too much of your betting bankroll on futures bets like these, especially given how risky and difficult to predict they are.

Depending on the odds, it can be a good idea to wager on a few teams before the season starts to give yourself more bites at the apple. That way, you’ll still earn a profit if one of those teams advances to the Super Bowl.

You can bet on the NFC champion at any of the best NFL betting apps, all of which have odds for this market. As long as you’re legally old enough to bet and in a legal sports betting state, you can bet on the NFC winner.

If possible, you should compare the odds at different sportsbooks to get the best price. For example, the Green Bay Packers may be +750 to win the NFC at one betting site and +800 at another.

Before placing your wager, make sure you’re getting the highest potential payout possible.

Depending on availability within your state, we recommend using DraftKings, FanDuel, BetMGM, Caesars, Bet365, BetRivers, Fanatics, ESPN Bet or Hard Rock Bet to place any NFL futures wagers. They’re all safe, secure and have competitive odds.

Here’s a look back at every NFC winner since 2000 along with their record that year.

Compared to the AFC, the NFC has had a lot more parity in the 21st century. All but three NFC teams have won at least one conference championship since 2000, and there has been only one back-to-back champion during that time (2013-14 Seattle Seahawks).

Teams with an asterisk also won the Super Bowl that year.
