The NFC Playoff Picture is almost wrapped up. There is just one week left of the 2023-2024 regular season. This coming weekend should be a fun time for games in the National Football League. Before those games take place, let’s take a look at the updated odds to win the NFC:

Check out the NFC squads, their NFL Wild Card odds, and predictions.

San Francisco 49ers -120

The 49ers looked a little normal over the last two weeks, and there is a concern about Christian McCaffrey and his health, but in the end, the 49ers are the team to beat in the NFC. The 49ers are going to get the first weekend of the postseason off, and then play potentially two home games in the Bay Area. Brock Purdy won’t have to leave the entire month to lead his team to the Super Bowl. The 49ers are favorites to reach the Super Bowl out of the NFC at -120.

Dallas Cowboys +370

Dallas used a little luck in the win over Detroit, but their Week 17 win was massive for their playoff seeding. Now, the Cowboys are the 2nd seed in the NFC, and need to beat the Commanders to keep that spot. Dallas would then get two postseason games at home before the NFC title game. Dallas has yet to lose at home this season, so that’s a huge deal for Coach McCarthy and his Boys.

Philadelphia Eagles +500

Something is not right with the Philadelphia Eagles, but keep in mind, this is the defending NFC Champion. Jalen Hurts and his offense hope to get back in the mix and healthy as they take on the Giants in Week 18. Now, with their loss and the Dallas win, the Eagles will need a win in Week 18 over the Giants, and a Cowboys loss to the Commanders to grab the 2 seed back. If not, the Eagles will be the 5 seed, and be forced to win as many as three postseason games on the road.

Detroit Lions +750

What a gutsy performance for Dan Campbell and his Detroit Lions. The Lions scored late, and actually got the two point conversion to win the game, but a penalty was called on the play. A second chance saw an offside penalty, and then the third time they were shut down. The Lions played great football in Dallas, but fell by a point. The Lions are NFC North Champions, and will be the third seed when the postseason gets underway, unless Dallas falls in Week 18. Jared Goff will get a chance to start the postseason at home.

Los Angeles Rams +2500

Sean McVay and the Rams got a little lucky to hold on to beat the Giants in Week 17. The Rams will now get the 49ers, and San Francisco does not need to win the game. It will be interesting to see what the 49ers do as far as playing their best guys, and if so, for how long. Can they beat their divisional rival? Matthew Stafford struggled a bit in New York with the turnover bug, but he continues to find Puka Nacua and Cooper Kupp, while Kyren Williams continues to dominate on the ground for the Rams.

Others in Consideration:

• Seattle Seahawks +5500 – Tough Week 17 loss. Now, they must win in Week 18 over Arizona, and hope for a Chicago win over Green Bay to get in.

• Tampa Bay Buccaneers +5000 – Buccaneers must have a win at Carolina to win the NFC South.

• Green Bay Packers +9000 – Big win for the Packers over Minnesota. Gives them a chance for the postseason in Week 18.

• New Orleans Saints +10000 – The Saints will need to beat the Falcons in Week 18 and have the Panthers beat the Buccaneers to win the NFC South,

There it is! Those are the updated odds to win the NFC. Enjoy the rest of the games and best of luck!

NFC Wild Cards: Who Will Get the Spots | MyBookie NFL Regular Season Preview

2023-2024 NFL Wildcard Playoffs | When: Saturday, Jan. 13 – Sunday, Jan. 14

As we head towards the final month of the regular season, one thing is obvious, multiple playoff contenders remain in the NFC and AFC. In this blog, we check out the NFC Wildcard Playoffs Standings. We list the teams in the hunt and their percentage prospects of securing specific NFC Wildcard seeds. Keep reading for NFC Wild Card projections.

NFC Wildcard 5-Seed

Dallas Cowboys

Cowboys 5-seed Prospects: 68%

Analysis: In NFL Week 14, the Dallas Cowboys beat the rival Philadelphia Eagles, but the Boys are still an underdog to win the NFC East. Why? Dallas has a terribly difficult schedule to navigate. Dallas is at the Bills, at the Dolphins, and host the Lions and the Commanders in their final 2 games. The Cowboys should beat the Lions and Commanders, but many believe Dallas loses to the Bills and the Fins and finishes at least a game behind the Eagles.

Philadelphia Eagles

Eagles 5-Seed Prospects: 31%

Analysis: The Eagles chances of garnering the top wild card, the 5-seed, are just at 31% because most feel Philly wins out. Unlike Dallas, which must play winning teams in 3 of their last 4 games, the Eagles are at the Seahawks, battle the Cardinals, and take on the Giants twice. Many believe Philadelphia runs the table while Dallas loses 2 of their final 4.

NFC Wildcard: 6-Seed & 7-Seed

Minnesota Vikings

Vikings 6-Seed Prospects: 32%

Vikings 7-Seed Prospects: 18%

Analysis: The 7-6 Vikings beat the Raiders 3-0 in NFL Week 14. Things don’t get easier for Minnesota. The team without a legit starting NFL quarterback faces the Green Bay Packers once and the Detroit Lions twice in 3-of-4 games.

Minnesota must take on the Cincinnati Bengals on December 17. Beating the Bengals won’t be easy, either.

Green Bay Packers

Packers 6-Seed Prospects: 25%

Packers 7-Seed Prospects: 18%

Analysis: Losing to the New York Giants on Monday night hit Green Bay’s playoff prospects big time. However, the rest of the schedule favors the Packers.

Green Bay hosts Tampa, travels to Carolina, travels to Minnesota, and then hosts the Chicago Bears in their final regular season game. There’s a possibility the Packers are the favorite in every one of those matchups.

Los Angeles Rams

Rams 6-Seed Prospects: 14%

Rams 7-Seed Prospects: 25%

Analysis: If the Rams make the playoffs, they’re going to have to earn it. LAR hosts the Commanders and Saints and then must travel to the Giants and 49ers.

Beating the Commanders should be a sure thing. But beating the Saints won’t be that easy. The Giants, because of Tommy DeVito’s excellent play, are on fire. The 49ers are the best team in the NFL.

The Rams will have to fight hard for either the sixth or seventh seed.

Seattle Seahawks

Seahawks 6-Seed Prospects: 11%

Seahawks 7-Seed Prospects: 15%

Analysis: It’s not easy to win any game in the NFL. However, among the wild card contenders, Seattle has better shot of making it to the playoffs than the percentages suggest.

The percentages suggest Seattle has just a 15% chance of securing the 7-seed. The Seahawks have a tough schedule hosting the Eagles and Steelers and traveling to Arizona and Tennessee in their final four games, but Seattle faces teams they can beat.

Detroit Lions

Lions 6-Seed Prospects: 12%

Analysis: The Lions have just a 12% chance of securing the 6-seed in the NFL Playoffs because Detroit is a favorite to win the NFC North.

The Lions face the Cowboys, the Vikings twice, and the Broncos in their four final games. If Detroit only beats the Vikings twice, they will win the North.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers

Buccaneers 7-Seed Prospects: 6%

Analysis: The NFC South leading Buccaneers are the only team in the division that can make it to the playoffs with a wild card. The Saints and Falcons must win the division to make it to the playoffs.

Tampa only has a 6% chance to make the NFL postseason with a 7-seed wild card berth. So even Tampa’s chances of making the playoffs if they don’t win the division aren’t great.

NFC Wild Card Playoff Predictions

5-Philadelphia Eagles

Surprised? Don’t be. Philadelphia hasn’t played well in their last couple of games. Sure, the Eagles faced the 49ers and the Cowboys, but Philly didn’t step it up in either.

What’s more disturbing is how Philadelphia looks tired. The Eagles must travel to Seattle this coming Monday and then take on a fired up Giants team with a hot quarterback in DeVito in 2-of-their last 3.

There’s a good chance Philly loses 3-of-4 or at least 2-of-4. Dallas may lose to Buffalo or Miami, but the Boys won’t lose both. The Cowboys go 3-1 in their final four games and wrest away the NFC East Division title form the Eagles.

6-Green Bay Packers

The Packers should run the table. Even if Green Bay runs the tables, they won’t have a better record than the Eagles. So, the 5-seed isn’t a possibility.

It’s also improbable that Green Bay beats Detroit for the NFC North title. The Packers should secure the sixth seed, though, because the other teams in the NFC Wild Card hunt aren’t playing as well and must navigate tough final few weeks schedules.

7-Seattle Seahawks

Based on winning percentage, it’s going to be tougher for the Seahawks than it is for the Rams to secure the final NFC Wild Card spot. But the Seahawks, visually at least, appear more primed to get it done.

After the Commanders, the Rams could lose their final 3 games against the Saints, Giants, and 49ers. Seattle has a chance of winning out because Philadelphia isn’t playing well, the Steelers still don’t have an offense, the Titans are a quality squad but beatable, and the Seahawks finish their season taking on the Cardinals.

The Rams are the expert’s pick. We’re rolling the dice on Pete Carroll and the Hawks.

NFL Playoffs Betting Odds & Predictions: Possible Scenarios | NFL Betting

As the NFL Playoffs continue and the number of teams alive is whittled down, it’s interesting to take a comprehensive look at how the markets have reacted and which teams are the shortest prices. With the Super Bowl just two games (and two rounds away), the prices have begun to get shorter and shorter, and the value is abating.

In this piece, we will look at the NFC teams and how the markets value them when it comes to hoisting the trophy in Phoenix when all is said and done. This historically has been the best week to grab some value and potentially hold a ticket significantly greater than the price come February. With that being said, let’s dive into the analysis so you can bet on their NFL Playoffs Odds.

Who Are the Favorites in Conferences of NFL to Reach Super Bowl? | NFL Odds

Lay of the Land

The two biggest favorites come from the AFC, Kansas City, and Buffalo. Both have consensus prices of 3.5-1 or below, with KC even being 2.9-1 in one place. With prices that short, bettors siding with other teams could reap potential rewards.

While there’s no doubting the championship pedigree of KC and Buffalo, they certainly have flaws with them. In our estimation, they are NOT worth investing in at these short prices. While the risk is somewhat large in taking a team such as the Chiefs or Bills compared to the Eagles, the reward is much less.

Other AFC teams include the defending conference victor Cincy valued at 8-1, and Jacksonville at 35-1.

Meanwhile in the Other Conference

With the exception of one place, bettors can get the 49ers at 4-1 and even a tad higher if they shop around. San Francisco offers decent value. However, they will likely need to win a road playoff game in the conference championship to make the Super Bowl. While this could seem daunting, let’s look at the facts as 5 of the last eight conference champs were on the road in the final game, including the Niners, whose road to the 2019 Super Bowl took them to the frozen tundra of Green Bay to punch their ticket.

Philadelphia will not have to leave the Linc before the Super Bowl as long as they keep up their winning ways. They’ll have to get past the Giants for the third time this year and then face an extremely familiar opponent in Dallas or San Francisco. Eagles are priced as low as 4.75-1 and as high as 5.5-1.

Dallas is priced anywhere from 8-1 to 10-1 and, in our estimation, represents the best value of any team still left playing, regardless of conference. Cowboys will look to become the second 5 seed to advance all the way to the Super Bowl should they win.

The reason we like America’s team: while they are going on the road in the divisional semifinal, it’s not like they will be facing brutal weather as temps in Santa Clara will be in the high 50’s this weekend. Also, the Cowboys have seemingly found their stride going on the road and defeating a Tampa Bay team that may not have a great record but was led by the sport’s best quarterback of all time, and that counts for something.

The Giants can be bought for 35-1 at some shops and are also a decent value. Anytime you get a red-hot team and coming off a road playoff win is encouraging. Momentum is a big part of the NFL, and quite frankly, we’re surprised that the markets have not adjusted since the Eagles and Niners are far from dominant teams.

In the end, we recommend investing in Dallas to emerge from the NFC.
