NFL Betting Futures Odds

NFL Futures Betting

An NFL "futures" bet is a wager on an event that will be determined later in the NFL season, beyond the current week's game. Often, NFL futures center around end-of-season results like a team to win a championship or a player to win an award. If the selected team or players wins the event on which the wager was placed, the bettor wins their bet.

Understanding NFL Futures Odds and Payouts

Futures odds are NFL predictions associated with larger payouts, which is why it is not uncommon to see high odds like +6000. The high odds ranges show just how difficult it is to predict an outcome far into the future, so that is why bettors who pick correctly are rewarded so well in futures wagers. Even the NFL teams that are seen as preseason favorites to win the Super Bowl will be "plus-money" that far in advance.

NFL futures odds are available prior to the season and will update throughout the year based on team and player performances. This gives bettors an opportunity to place a futures wager at almost any time during the season. Don't wait too long to bet, though. Payout odds are likely to shift as the outcomes become more clear throughout the season, meaning a smaller potential payout in the end.

Jump to AFC Divisions: North | South | East | West

After meeting in last year's AFC title game, it's no big surprise that the Chiefs and Ravens lead the AFC as oddsmakers' top picks to win the conference, and neutral NFL fans will be chomping at the bit to see a rematch between Lamar Jackson and Patrick Mahomes. But don't sleep on the rest of the AFC as teams like the Bengals will look to reload in the trenches and make another Super Bowl run in the coming year. Here is a look at the current AFC Championship odds heading into the new season.

AFC North Division Winner Odds

Jump To: Baltimore Ravens | Cleveland Browns | Cincinnati Bengals | Pittsburgh Steelers

Lamar Jackson and the Ravens took the AFC North by storm in 2023-24. Most presumed that the Cincinnati Bengals would dominate the division, but Jackson and co. started fast and ended faster as he marched onto a second MVP campaign. However, watch out for Cincinnati, Cleveland, and Pittsburgh this upcoming season. Many experts believe this is the toughest division in football for a reason. Check out the latest AFC North odds.

AFC South Division Winner Odds

Jump To: Houston Texans | Indianapolis Colts | Jacksonville Jaguars | Tennessee Titans

After CJ Stroud and Will Anderson Jr. won Offensive and Defensive Rookie of the Year honors, there's no doubt that the AFC South currently runs through Houston. Despite entering the season with the worst odds to win the south, Houston surprised everyone by winning ten games in year one of the DeMeco Ryans era. Additionally, Houston was able to upset Cleveland in the wild-card round before being ousted in the divisional round by the top-seeded Ravens. Evaluate the AFC South odds and bet on who will win the division.

AFC East Division Winner Odds

Jump To: Buffalo Bills | Miami Dolphins | New England Patriots | New York Jets

In a division that had long been dominated by Tom Brady and the New England Patriots, it seems like the torch has finally been passed to the Buffalo Bills. Led by Josh Allen, the Bills made a solid playoff run before suffering a heartbreaking loss, yet again, to the Kansas City Chiefs in Arrowhead Stadium. While the Bills are the presumptive favorites, the New York Jets could be a dark horse team in the division led by Aaron Rodgers, who's 2023-24 season came to a devastating in the first drive of the season against Buffalo. Will the Jets be able to find some of that old magic and win the East, or will Allen and the Bills establish their divisional dynasty? Don't forget about Miami, who will indeed have some of the most firepower in the NFL. Take a peak at the latest AFC East odds.

AFC West Division Winner Odds

Jump To: Denver Broncos | Kansas City Chiefs | Las Vegas Raiders | Los Angeles Chargers

Is there any stopping the Kansas City Chiefs? The Chiefs have won the AFC West for seven straight seasons and are the favorites to do so again in 2024-25. The Chargers and the Raiders look more formidable by the year, but they'll have much to prove before they'll be considered legitimate contenders to the Chiefs in the West. Here's how the AFC West odds stack up so far.

NFC Championship Odds

Jump Ahead to NFC Divisions: North | South | East | West

The San Francisco 49ers will be running back a juggernaut of a 2023-2024 roster that fell just short of winning their first Lombardi since 1995. However, don't be surprised about some of the young and upcoming teams in the NFC. A pair of NFC North teams in the Green Bay Packers and Detroit Lions pushed San Fran to the limit in the Divisional and Conference Championship rounds a year ago. Be sure to track how the NFC Championship odds shift as players and teams make their moves ahead of the 2024 season.

NFC North Division Winner Odds

Jump To: Chicago Bears | Detroit Lions | Green Bay Packers | Minnesota Vikings

The Detroit Lions rolled through the NFC North and the NFC during the regular season. They finished three games ahead of the Green Bay Packers to win the division, and ultimately, the Packers claimed the #2 seed in the NFC Playoffs. Track how the NFC North odds change throughout the season, and bet your favorite.

NFC South Division Winner Odds

Jump To: Atlanta Falcons | Carolina Panthers | New Orleans Saints | Tampa Bay Buccaneers

Baker Mayfield led the Tampa Bay Buccaneers to an NFC South crown in what was ultimately his first season as the QB in Tampa. Mayfield and the Bucs have aspirations of a second consecutive NFC South title, but their season could prove more challenging than a year ago with offensive coordinator Dave Canales. With the Falcons addition of Kirk Cousins, the NFC South could be one of the most wide-open divisions to predict. Each team has evident and significant gaps to fill, so this division is up for grabs. Check them out throughout the season to stay in tune with the latest NFC South odds.

NFC East Division Winner Odds

Jump To: Dallas Cowboys | New York Giants | Philadelphia Eagles | Washington Commanders

The Dallas Cowboys rounded into form like many had hoped and expected with their talent-stacked roster, successfully claiming an NFC East title. However, entering the season, oddsmakers see the Philadelphia Eagles as the team to beat despite an early and embarrassing playoff exit, as seen by the first round of NFC East odds. The Commanders and Giants seem to have a rebuilding year ahead, as neither poses a serious threat to win the NFC East.

NFC West Division Winner Odds

Jump To: Arizona Cardinals | Los Angeles Rams | San Francisco 49ers | Seattle Seahawks

The NFC West could be one of the most entertaining divisional battles of the 2024-25 season. The 49ers ultimately claimed the title on their way to losing Super Bowl LVIII. Early NFC West odds have the 49ers as favorites once again to win the division, but the Rams and Seahawks could be threats. The Cardinals should improve with the addition of Marvin Harrison Jr. and a full year of Kyler Murray. 

 

NFL MVP Odds

Baltimore Ravens QB Lamar Jackson took home his second NFL MVP award in the 2023-24 season, edging out Dak Prescott. Looking at the 2024-25 Super Bowl favorites, it's no surprise that Patrick Mahomes is the frontrunner for next year's MVP title. As we all know, the MVP is typically a quarterback award, as seen with the preseason NFL MVP odds that feature all quarterbacks in the top 18.

NFL Player of the Year Odds 

In addition to the NFL MVP award, there are a number of other individual awards given to players each season. Considering the MVP award almost always goes to a quarterback (like the pro version of the Heisman Trophy), the NFL has other offensive and defensive awards for players to pursue.

Here's a look at NFL Player of the Year Odds:

  NFL Offensive Player of the Year (OPOY) Odds

With the MVP trophy almost always going to a quarterback, this is the award for which other offensive players can aim. The NFL OPOY is typically given to either the running back or wide receivers with the best stats on the season. It's also possible that a player wins the OPOY and the MVP in the same season. Christian McCaffrey took home the honors a season ago.

NFL Defensive Player of the Year (DPOY) Odds

The NFL Defensive Player of the Year award can go to any player around the defense on the field. Sometimes, a defensive end or tackle gets it; sometimes, a linebacker or cornerback can get it. There isn't one specific stat that reigns supreme over others, but sacks, total tackles and interceptions can play a large part in claiming the DPOY award. Myles Garrett won the 2023 NFL Defensive Player of the Year award.

  NFL Comeback Player of the Year (CPOY) Odds

The NFL CPOY award is given to a player who's overcome some adversity in the past and has returned to put together a strong, or even stellar, performance during the regular season. This award has caused much controversy as previous winners, such as Geno Smith and Joe Flacco, only overcame an injury after breaking out in their CPOY award year. So, the NFL has changed the criteria for the upcoming season to "honor a player who has demonstrated resilience in the face of adversity by overcoming illness, physical injury or other circumstances that led him to miss playing time the previous season." Some of the top candidates include Joe Burrow, Aaron Rodgers, and Kirk Cousins.

NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year (OROY) Odds

Since a rookie QB is unlikely to contend for the MVP, the OROY race throws an extra position into the mix. The award goes to the best offensive rookie of the season. After a historic rookie campaign, CJ Stroud ran away with the honors a season ago. Any offensive player is eligible, but "sexy" stats tend to be required to be considered (sorry, linemen).

NFL Defensive Rookie of the Year (DROY) Odds

Like the OROY, the DROY award goes to the top rookie of the year but on the defensive side of the ball. The best rookies come from somewhere around the top of the draft, so pay attention to those first few draft picks on either side of the ball that could compete for individual awards. The Texans traded up for Will Anderson Jr., who won the 2023 award.

Bet on NFL Futures

After a long season and the NFL Playoffs eliminating teams from 14 to two for the Super Bowl, oddsmakers will set American Odds on the championship match-up. At this point, these are no longer future odds -- the main event is near!

What are American Odds?

American Odds are the default odds at U.S. sportsbooks. The odds are based on winning $100 for a given bet on either the Favorite or the Underdog.  A Favorite will have a minus (-) sign next to the odds and represents the money you need to risk to win $100. An Underdog will have a plus (+) sign in front and represents the money you can win for every $100 risked. So, if you're betting on the Bucs at -140 against the Chiefs, that means Tampa Bay is a slight favorite. You need to risk $140 to win $100 on the Bucs. If they win, you profit $100 and get your original $140 back.

What are Decimal Odds?

Beyond the U.S., most of the world uses Decimal Odds, in part because it’s easier to convert them to implied probabilities. Decimal odds represent the amount you win for every $1 wagered. And the number represents the total return, not just the profit (this is different from American and fractional odds).

 What are Fractional Odds?

Fractional Odds are used primarily in Ireland and the United Kingdom. Few bettors use fractional odds for betting sports other than horse racing, because the conversions to understand return are challenging. To calculate winnings on fractional odds, multiply your bet by the top number (the numerator), then divide the result by the bottom number (the denominator).
