The Green Bay Packers are not favored to win the NFC North next season. Of course, they fell short of winning it this season as well. The Minnesota Vikings won it with a 13-4 record as the only team in the NFC North with a winning record. For what’s it’s worth, Packers fans, they are not favored to win it either. Of course, neither are the lowly Chicago Bears who have the number one pick in the 2023 NFL Draft after finishing with the league’s worst record last season. That’s right, that leaves the Detroit Lions, who have never won the division, as the current odds-on favorite to win it.
The Green Bay Packers Have the Second-Best Odds Behind the Detroit Lions
According to FanDuel Sportsbook, the current odds to win the NFC North are as follows:
- Detroit Lions: +145
- Green Bay Packers: +300
- Minnesota Vikings: +300
- Chicago Bears: +450
These are slightly different odds than the ones that were released on Thursday, March 2:
- Detroit Lions: +180
- Green Bay Packers: +260
- Minnesota Vikings: +300
- Chicago Bears: +350
