NFC North outlook and predictions
Besides winning the NFC North last season, Detroit played in the NFC Championship Game and lost a close game to the San Francisco 49ers. Jordan Love and the Green Bay Packers are another team worth monitoring after the squad crushed the Cowboys championship hopes in last season's Wild Card round. The backfield is going to look a little different this year with Josh Jacobs replacing Aaron Jones (now with the Vikings).
The Bears are looking to remain in the NFC North conversation with No. 1 overall pick Caleb Williams taking over as the starting QB. Minnesota has the longest preseason price out of the four teams (between +900 and +1000) as the Kirk Cousins era has come to an end. Sam Darnold has been named the starter.

How to bet on NFL division winners
When betting NFL futures (or any bet, at that) it's important to shop lines. Consider the payout of a successful $100 bet on the Bears at BetMGM Sportsbook, which offers Chicago +325. That bet would yield $325 plus the initial $100 back ($425 total). However, laying the same bet at DraftKings Sportsbook (+275) would pay out $375 total ($275 in winnings), a $75 difference.
It may also be helpful to consider implied win probabilities. Use an odds converter to calculate these:
- Lions (+140): 41.7%
- Packers (+230): 30.3%
- Bears (+330): 23.3%
- Vikings (+1000): 9.1%
Longer odds (higher numbers) will yield higher payouts, but suggest a lower win probability. Shorter odds (lower numbers) will have a lower payout but imply a higher win probability.
