The NFC West came down to the wire last year with the 49ers and Rams jockeying until Week 18. The Cardinals started strong before fading away, and all three teams have a legitimate shot to take the division crown this season. Here is an updated look at the NFC West odds futures market.
2022 NFC West odds
2022 NFC West outlook and predictions
The 49ers (9-4) have won six straight games and looked even better with rookie Brock Purdy stepping in at quarterback for Jimmy Garoppolo (foot). They might have lost Deebo Samuel (ankle) for the rest of the regular season, but their defense has been lights out lately and they can basically wrap up the division by beating Seattle on Thursday night, so they’re getting -2000 odds to win the NFC West.
The Seahawks (7-6) took a stunning home loss to the Panthers that looks like a trap game with their huge rematch looming against the 49ers this Thursday. They’re getting +1100 odds to win the NFC West and are still hovering around even money with -115 odds to make the playoffs.

How to bet on NFL division winners
Consider odds of each team when betting. Like all bets, it’s critical to shop lines at different books to ensure you’re getting the best price. For example, just because DraftKings Sportsbook offers the 49ers +160 doesn’t mean they all do– FanDuel Sportsbook offers the same prop at +200. A successful $100 bet at FanDuel would yield $200 in winnings versus only $160 at DraftKings.
Longer odds (higher numbers) offer higher winnings, but suggest a lower probability of winning. Conversely, shorter odds (lower numbers) suggest a higher probability of winning, but lower winnings.
