NFC Best Bet for 2026

Best Favorite Bet to win the NFC: Green Bay Packers (+700)

The Packers did not have the best injury luck in 2025, especially after losing Micah Parsons to a serious knee injury, but they were still competitive in the NFC. Green Bay is fifth in both yards per play and points per drive since Jordan Love took over in 2023, consistently creating explosive plays in an NFL that is getting better at stopping them. If they can manage the coaching change on defense, they should once again be in the mix.

Best Sleeper Bet to win the NFC: Minnesota Vikings (+3000)

The Vikings were arguably just a quarterback away in 2025. Their defense was third in yards per play allowed (4.7) and fourth in points per drive allowed (1.69) while getting pressure at the highest rate in the league (44.5%). There are more issues on offense outside of just J.J. McCarthy, but a veteran upgrade or just a step forward from McCarthy would put the Vikings in a great spot in 2026.
