Winning an NFL division means locking in a home playoff game. Let’s see who’s already clinched, and who’s primed to do so now that we’re in the home stretch of the season.
The latest: The Buffalo Bills were the first team to clinch their division in Week 13. One week later, the Kansas City Chiefs got in on the fun and clinched the AFC West for the ninth year in a row. On the other side, the NFC South and NFC West are coming down to the wire.
Check out the latest NFL division winner odds for the 2024-25 season below.
NFL division winner odds
AFC North
- After wins in seven of the last eight games, the Steelers are now the odds-on favourites to win the division. Two games up on the Ravens, Pittsburgh controls its own destiny. T.J. Watt looks more and more like the Defensive Player of the Year every game, and Russell Wilson keeps cooking — now 6-1 as the starting quarterback.
- Baltimore lost two of three games before heading into a Week 14 bye. With only four games remaining, the Ravens will need some help from other teams to leap-frog the Steelers. They still have a very strong chance of making the playoffs as a wild-card team.
NFL division winner odds: AFC South
- The Texans (8-5) have a stranglehold on the top seed with their 4-1 division record. Joe Mixon, who was acquired in the offseason, has been a huge contributor for Houston. He’s averaging 113.1 scrimmage yards a game, trailing only Saquon Barkley and Derrick Henry.
- Indianapolis is the only team that can catch Houston, but the Colts are still two games behind and lost both head-to-head matchups. With Anthony Richardson at the helm, I would kiss the Colts’ chances goodbye.
NFC East
- The Eagles are currently on a nine-game win streak that includes a victory over the Commanders. They also had an impressive showing at Baltimore in Week 13, gaining a 24-19 victory. Philly controls its own fate but will meet with Washington again on Dec. 22.
- Washington came out of the gates scorching hot, and Jayden Daniels put himself in the early ROTY conversation. The Commanders (8-5) have lost three of their last four games but still look like a playoff-bound team.
NFC North
- The Lions (12-1) are a top-tier football team. They’ve won 11 straight games, and coach Dan Campbell has his guys buzzing on both sides of the ball. Not only is Detroit the favourite to win the NFC, but it’s also the Super Bowl frontrunner.
- Just one game behind the Lions are the Vikings, who’ve played some very impressive football this year. Sam Darnold is having a resurgent season and thanks to Brian Flores, the Vikes are allowing the sixth-fewest points per game (18.5).
- The Packers (9-4) sit third in the division and own a 1-3 record against the NFC North. Green Bay lost a 34-31 prime-time thriller to the Lions in Week 14, so the chances of catching Detroit are slim to none at this stage in the season.
NFC South
- Tampa Bay (7-6) is on a three-game hot streak with a one-game lead over the Falcons for first in the division heading into Week 15. The Bucs close out the season with the Chargers, Cowboys, Panthers and Saints.
- The Falcons have lost four straight games heading into Week 15. They sit in second place but hold the tie-breaker thanks to a 4-1 record against their NFC South foes. Kirk Cousins has struggled lately, and some fans are demanding to see rookie QB Michael Penix.
NFL division winner odds: NFC West
- Seattle (8-5) is the odds-on favourite to win the division after winning its last four games. Jaxon Smith-Njigba is having a breakout year with 911 yards through 13 games to compliment a deep running back room with Kenneth Walker III and Zach Charbonnet.
- The Rams are 7-6 with a 2-1 record against the division. With Cooper Kupp and Puka Nacua both back from injury, the Rams could make a strong push for the playoffs down the stretch. They look to keep the win streak alive against the 49ers in Week 15.
- The Cardinals sit at 6-7 and have fallen two games behind the Seahawks for first place. They’ve beaten the Rams and the 49ers once each but lost to the Seahawks in Week 12 and again in Week 14.
- This is not the type of Kyle Shanahan-led 49ers season we’re used to. San Francisco’s three-year streak of 10-plus wins is on the line after a 6-7 start through Week 13. They sit last in the division with losses to the Rams and Cardinals.
