16. Carolina Panthers
Although the Carolina Panthers have performed better of late, it's still difficult to be confident in what this group will accomplish this season.

1. Detroit Lions
You can make a case for multiple teams that deserve this spot after Week 5. The Detroit Lions found another gear offensively in Week 4, which should scare the rest of the conference. Coming off a bye, the Lions have the roster to put the rest of the NFC on notice.
NFC Championship Winner 2024-25: +550
2. Minnesota Vikings
Arguably the biggest surprise in the NFL this season has been the Minnesota Vikings. Sam Darnold has looked the part of a QB1, and the defense has looked great under Brian Flores.
NFC Championship Winner 2024-25: +550
3. San Francisco 49ers
Even with plenty of injuries for the San Francisco 49ers, it's hard to count them out once they get to January. This team has the experience, and if they can get fully healthy at some point, you have to like their odds again to represent the NFC. Still, sitting at 2-3 after Week 5 isn't great.
NFC Championship Winner 2024-25: +420
4. Philadelphia Eagles
The Philadelphia Eagles have been hard to figure out early on. In terms of their offense, it's been hard to find a consistent rhythm when you factor in the health of their wide receiver room. Once everyone is healthy, you'll get a better idea of what this team is capable of.
NFC Championship Winner 2024-25: +650
5. Green Bay Packers
The Green Bay Packers have a lot of positives with their current roster. If Jordan Love can continue growing into a top quarterback, the sky is the limit for this team.
NFC Championship Winner 2024-25: +1000
6. Washington Commanders
It's impossible to not be impressed with what we've seen from the Washington Commanders early on. Jayden Daniels looks like the real deal, and the Commanders are being productive in the standings.
NFC Championship Winner 2024-25: +1500
7. Atlanta Falcons
Expectations remain high for the Atlanta Falcons this year. It's been a mixed bag early on in terms of their success, but the pieces are there for the Falcons to make a run at a playoff spot or the NFC South crown. This team is continuing to find a rhythm, which is a positive for their playoff odds.

8. Dallas Cowboys
The Dallas Cowboys have some injuries on defense that are worth monitoring. This core has found a way to consistently make the playoffs. We wouldn't bet against that happening in 2024, but how far can they realistically go?

9. Tampa Bay Buccaneers
The Tampa Bay Buccaneers have looked the part of a playoff team again in 2024. Many wondered if they'd take a step back after last year, but that certainly hasn't looked like the case through Week 5.
NFC Championship Winner 2024-25: +2000
10. Seattle Seahawks
The Seattle Seahawks deserve some praise for how they've started their 2024 campaign under first year head coach Mike Macdonald. Coming off a troubling loss, the Seahawks have dropped over the last week.
NFC Championship Winner 2024-25: +1900
11. Chicago Bears
The Chicago Bears are a team that should continue hovering around the playoff picture in the NFC. There will be growing pains with this group, but the talent is there for them to compete on both sides of the football.
NFC Championship Winner 2024-25: +3100
12. New Orleans Saints
After a hot start through Week 2, the New Orleans Saints have come back to life over their last three games. Let's see how they respond to this adversity before getting too crazy with their ranking.
NFC Championship Winner 2024-25: +2300
13. Arizona Cardinals
The Arizona Cardinals have multiple weapons on offense, but their defense leaves a lot to be desired. With the inconsistencies we've seen on both sides of the football, it's hard to be overly confident about this group contending this year. Still, a win against San Francisco has helped their case.
NFC Championship Winner 2024-25: +2700
14. Los Angeles Rams
Credit to the Los Angeles Rams, it would have been easy to give up on the season with the amount of injuries they've had. They haven't done that, which is a good sign they can figure things out if they eventually get healthy.
NFC Championship Winner 2024-25: +5000
15. New York Giants
There are some real pieces on the New York Giants roster worthy of getting excited about. The issue is that this team is still missing a franchise quarterback. Will they ultimately land that guy in the 2025 NFL Draft?
NFC Championship Winner 2024-25: +10000
16. Carolina Panthers
Although the Carolina Panthers have performed better of late, it's still difficult to be confident in what this group will accomplish this season.
