NFL NFC North Division odds: Lions looking to make franchise history

March 13, 2024 NFL News

The reigning NFC North champion Detroit Lions are favored to claim the division title at the end of the 2024-25 NFL season.

This past year, Detroit won its first conference title since 1993 and is now looking to repeat as division champions for the first time in franchise history.

The Lions and Packers both went 4-2 in the division last season, splitting their two matchups. Detroit won the tiebreaker via overall record. 

Let’s take a look at the current oddsboard at DraftKings Sportsbook.

Let’s take a look at the key points to know regarding each NFC North squad next season.

DETROIT LIONS

2023-24 division finish: 1st (4-2)

Bottom line: Last season was the season of “It’s been forever” for the Lions. They won their fourth division title in franchise history — the division has been around since 1967 — and made it to their first NFC Championship Game since 1991. Detroit has never won the division two years in a row, and the odds suggest it will have some stiff competition, going up against a rising Packers team and a Bears squad that figures to bring in Caleb Williams with the No. 1 pick in April’s draft.

GREEN BAY PACKERS

2023-24 division finish: 2nd (4-2)

Bottom line: Green Bay won six of its last eight regular-season games last year, before blasting the Cowboys in the wild-card round and nearly knocking off the mighty 49ers in the divisional round, which has its stock at an all-time high entering next season. Jordan Love’s ascension figures to be the key to the Packers’ success, and in their last matchup with Detroit, Love torched the Lions on their home field. Green Bay also brought in former first-team All-Pro running back Josh Jacobs via free agency.

CHICAGO BEARS

2023-24 division finish: 4th (2-4)

Bottom line:…
