1. San Francisco 49ers
NFC Odds: +250
Super Bowl Odds: +550

The San Francisco 49ers added a few defensive stalwarts to their already dangerous unit, filling any gaps with an underappreciated draft class. It's too bad they'll still get in their own way in the playoffs.
16. Carolina Panthers
NFC Odds: +13000
Super Bowl Odds: +30000

Carolina Panthers fans should expect low-scoring games in 2024. The Panthers' defense is good enough to keep most opponents at bay, but their offense is bad enough that they won't be able to keep pace. If they don't trade away another top-round draft pick, they could be on the verge of competing next year.
15. New York Giants
NFC Odds: +5000
Super Bowl Odds: +10000

Brian Daboll has much more faith in the New York Giants than anyone else. They had the chance to upgrade their quarterback position with an early seat in the draft, but instead, the Giants chose to piss away another year.
14. Washington Commanders
NFC Odds: +5500
Super Bowl Odds: +15000

The Washington Commanders made a few additions this offseason that could be some of the best moves in recent memory. However, with Jayden Daniels needing some time to acclimate to one of the toughest divisions in the NFL, 2024 will be a development year for the Commanders.
13. New Orleans Saints
NFC Odds: +4000
Super Bowl Odds: +8000

The New Orleans Saints made it their offseason mission to sign all of the Kansas City Chiefs' recent castoffs. But we're not expecting those players to significantly impact a team that will likely finish with one of the worst records in the conference.
12. Minnesota Vikings
NFC Odds: +3500
Super Bowl Odds: +8000

Some may believe in J.J. McCarthy, but we do not. The Minnesota Vikings foolishly moved up in the draft to take their quarterback of the future, inking a bevy of defensive studs and reclamation projects in free agency. Sorry, Justin Jefferson, but it will be a long year.
11. Chicago Bears
NFC Odds: +2200
Super Bowl Odds: +4000

Bettors have lined up around the block to get a piece of Caleb Williams and the Chicago Bears, but we don't think it will be that easy for the NFC North also-rans. Until the pieces all come together, we're in wait-and-see mode with the Bears.
10. Seattle Seahawks
NFC Odds: +3000
Super Bowl Odds: +7500

The Seattle Seahawks are running it back with the same roster as last year. However, several recently drafted players will have an opportunity to make their mark at OTAs. The Mike Macdonald era will be premised on defense, but it's imperative that it doesn't come at the expense of offense.
9. Arizona Cardinals
NFC Odds: +4500
Super Bowl Odds: +8000

Kyler Murray and Marvin Harrison Jr. could be a Pro Bowl combination for years. Still, it feels like the Arizona Cardinals missed the mark by not trading out of the fourth spot in this year's NFL Draft and adding more top-end talent to their roster.
8. Tampa Bay Buccaneers
NFC Odds: +3000
Super Bowl Odds: +5500

The 2024 Tampa Bay Buccaneers are ready to prove that last season was no fluke. The team remains relatively unchanged year over year, but aging wide receivers and a historically unreliable quarterback could have this team fall quickly.
7. Los Angeles Rams
NFC Odds: +1400
Super Bowl Odds: +3200

Will the real Los Angeles Rams please stand up? With Aaron Donald's retirement, they have had two years of mixed results and a gaping hole on their defensive line to fill. Still, upgrades to their secondary via free agency and defensive line in the draft suggest they will be a force in the NFC West.
6. Green Bay Packers
NFC Odds: +850
Super Bowl Odds: +1900

Less is more for the Green Bay Packers, who showed everyone in 2023 that they have the stuff to compete. A few key offseason signings complemented by a few early defensive draft picks assure the Green Bay faithful that they remain a team to be reckoned with in the NFC.
5. Atlanta Falcons
NFC Odds: +1100
Super Bowl Odds: +2400

The offensive reigns belong to Kirk Cousins for the moment, but the Atlanta Falcons also have their quarterback of the future. After years of stockpiling top-end talent via the draft, this could be the year it all comes together for the Falcons.
4. Dallas Cowboys
NFC Odds: +650
Super Bowl Odds: +1500

The Dallas Cowboys didn't do much this offseason, but they didn't have to. Now, it's on Mike McCarthy's shoulders to put it all together and make some noise in the postseason.
3. Detroit Lions
NFC Odds: +600
Super Bowl Odds: +1300

Somehow, all football fans came together and adopted the Detroit Lions as their second favorite team in 2023. Dan Campbell has built this team up from nothing, and the Lions are ready to roar again in 2024.
2. Philadelphia Eagles
NFC Odds: +650
Super Bowl Odds: +1400

The disastrous end to the 2023 campaign may have tainted bettors' perspectives on the Philadelphia Eagles, but their offseason moves have re-invigorated our interest. This team has improved at every level due to key signings and elite drafting.
1. San Francisco 49ers
NFC Odds: +250
Super Bowl Odds: +550

The San Francisco 49ers added a few defensive stalwarts to their already dangerous unit, filling any gaps with an underappreciated draft class. It's too bad they'll still get in their own way in the playoffs.
16. Carolina Panthers
NFC Odds: +13000
Super Bowl Odds: +30000

Carolina Panthers fans should expect low-scoring games in 2024. The Panthers' defense is good enough to keep most opponents at bay, but their offense is bad enough that they won't be able to keep pace. If they don't trade away another top-round draft pick, they could be on the verge of competing next year.
