The NFL regular season gets underway in a little over a week. We’ve had the opportunity to watch the teams play a few preseason games thus far, so we have some idea of how each team will be lining up come September this year. That said the NFL is always full of surprises, with teams often changing drastically from year to year. This makes for some very interesting division winners bets.
This post will look at some of the division winner prop odds from Bovada.lv and I’ll give my free predictions for each division. These bets do lock in your cash for four months, so it’s important that you feel very strongly about the value in your play.
AFC North Division
Cincinnati Bengals +180
Pittsburgh Steelers +210
Baltimore Ravens +225
Cleveland Browns +500
This division is extremely tight, with any of the 3 favorites having a legitimate shot at finishing atop. I like the Steelers though. If Big Ben can stay healthy, the Steelers are always contenders and they have something to prove after finishing just 8-8 last season.
AFC East Division
New England Patriots -300
Miami Dolphins +325
Buffalo Bills +900
New York Jets +1400
The Patriots will win this division. They are much better than 75% to win this, which makes it a good bet. The thing you just have to keep in mind is that your money is locked away and the return isn’t that huge.
AFC West Division
Denver Broncos -300
Kansas City Chiefs +400
San Diego Chargers +600
Oakland Raiders +2000
There is even more certainty in my mind that the Broncos will win the AFC West, than even the Patriots taking down the AFC East. Peyton Manning is a beast in the regular season and the other teams in the division are sub par to say the least. This may be where you want to lock up your funds to have a nice little payday come January.
NFC East Division
Dallas Cowboys +200
New York Giants +200
Washington Redskins +250
Philadelphia Eagles +400
This division is very interesting, with every team having a shot at taking it down. The division is actually so closely contested that I expect only the division winner to qualify for the playoffs. I think the Redskins at +250 is the best play. RG3 seems to be fully recovered and if it wasn’t for his injury the Redskins would be the team to beat in this division. Take him at his word and hope for a healthy season and another division win for the Redskins.
NFC West Division
San Francisco 49ers +110
Seattle Seahawks +110
St. Louis Rams +500
Arizona Cardinals +2000
The 49ers and Seahawks are 2 of the best teams in the NFL these days and they will be battling it out hard to win this division. I think the 49ers are just the slightest bit better than Seattle though and I expect things to finish like they did last year. With the 49ers winning the division and the Seahawks having to play in a Wild Card playoff game.
There are my picks for 5 of the 8 divisions. My leans in the other divisions include the Texans (-250) in the AFC South, the Detroit Lions (+450) in the NFC North and the Atlanta Falcons (+140) in the NFC South.
