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. The Vikings were right there with Detroit in Week 7, confirming their status as contenders.

3. 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. In addition, the defense has shown plenty of growth this season.

4. 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.

5. 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. As the season is progressing, this team is really seeing productive growth.

6. 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.

7. 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 7.

8. 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.

9. Seattle Seahawks

The Seattle Seahawks deserve some praise for how they've started their 2024 campaign under first year head coach Mike Macdonald. With the losses piling up, the Seahawks put together a strong showing against Atlanta in Week 7.

10. 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 3-4 after Week 7 isn't great for a team with such high aspirations.

11. 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. Is this the year that trend ends in a big way? 

NFC Championship Winner 2024-25: +1700

12. 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. A win against San Francisco has helped their case, but a blowout loss to Green Bay didn't do them any favors. Following that up with a victory against the Chargers was nice. What exactly is this team?

13. 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. Still, it might just be too late at this point. 

NFC Championship Winner 2024-25: +5500

14. New Orleans Saints

After a hot start through Week 2, the New Orleans Saints have come back to life over their last five games. With each passing loss, we continue to lose faith in what the Saints are doing. 

NFC Championship Winner 2024-25: +6500

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: +11000

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. 

NFC Championship Winner 2024-25: +40000
