Gridiron Experts is a fantasy football website first and foremost, but this time of year people are itching for any kind of NFL news. I got my hands on some early NFL division odds for you betting junkies…who am I kidding, I put a little something on my Eagles this morning –but I’ll get into that in a bit. First let me explain these numbers:

The reason Las Vegas doesn’t write their odds like Jets 10 to 1, or Titans 7.5 to 1, is because some teams are so favored to win their division, you’d have to put up more money than what you can actually win. For example, the New England Patriots -500, which means you would have to put up $500 to win $100. Arguably, these odds are obnoxiously accurate considering how the Patriots have had their way with the other AFC East teams. Nevertheless, the easiest way to figure these out are to compare all odds as if you were going to bet $100. So the Bengals +200 is the same as 2 to 1, and the Panthers +600 is 6 to 1.

Really, Why bother?

Personally, I love bets like these. The odds are season long and technically a race between four teams. Putting money on a Super Bowl winner is like buying a lottery ticket, there is far too much parity in the league to have a fighting chance, yet a division battle is what we all get jacked up for.

You’re Crazy

I’m pushing close to 1000 published articles for Gridiron Experts, and even though I do my best to keep all fantasy advice unbiased…I’m a diehard Eagles fan. The Eagles at 5 to 1 is too tempting to me. That division is far too close not to throw a couple bucks at. Teams have complete turnarounds in one season all the time, and with a healthy improved offensive line for the Eagles, I feel by the summer those odds will likely move.

The Bucs, Panthers, and Lions could all easily fall into the same category of teams on the rise with a chance to claim the division, but all have an uphill battle. Very temping.

The Colts at +250 (or 2.5 to 1) are realistically the best bet available, they should be able to compete with the Texans this season, and have an easier schedule.
