NFL Division Odds Released
BetMGM released odds for the NFL Division winners on Wednesday, March 2.
It's essential to consider how the NFL Schedule can impact divisional odds. For example, a soft early-season schedule could pave the way for significant line movement.
Additionally, the NFL Schedule will not be announced until May.
Obviously, free agency, the 2022 NFL Draft, and other player transactions will also occur before the regular September season.
Add in the potential for offseason and preseason injuries, and a lot can change before the season even starts.
Much can change over the coming six months.
Still, here's how BetMGM stacked up their 2022 NFL Division Winner odds.
AFC East
Buffalo Bills -185
New England Patriots +320
Miami Dolphins +550
New York Jets +1400
While planting an early flag on the Bills doesn't provide much value at the current odds, a hot start could make -185 look like a steal. It's worth adding New England was only a game back of Buffalo last season, and Miami finished two games behind, so it wasn't a runaway division win for the Bills in 2021.
AFC North
Baltimore Ravens +175
Cincinnati Bengals +200
Cleveland Browns +320
Pittsburgh Steelers +500
Arguably one of the most competitive divisions in the league year-in, year-out, the Bengals were the surprise team of the league going to Super Bowl LVI, and Pittsburgh also made the postseason.
Interestingly, it's the Ravens with the shortest odds to win the AFC North in 2022, though. Expect plenty of line movement if Pittsburgh adds a proven quarterback, too.
AFC South
Tennessee Titans +100
Indianapolis Colts +140
Jacksonville Jaguars +550
Houston Texans +2500
Tennessee has won the AFC South in consecutive seasons, and while there is a lot to like about Indianapolis, quarterback play remains a significant obstacle for the Colts.
Jacksonville can add another franchise-changing talent with the first overall selection again in the 2022 NFL Draft, and franchise-quarterback Trevor Lawrence could take a step forward under new head coach Doug Pederson.
AFC West
Kansas City Chiefs -140
Los Angeles Chargers +375
Denver Broncos +400
Las Vegas Raiders +800
The Chiefs have won the AFC West six straight years, so there might be a little value in their number.
While the Chargers have a lot of promise with Justin Herbert under center, the franchise hasn't won the division since 2009.
Denver's a tough bet until their quarterback situation is settled, whereas Las Vegas has perceived value at this number after making the playoffs this past season, right?

NFC East
Dallas Cowboys -120
Philadelphia Eagles +300
Washington Commanders +450
New York Giants +700
Dallas cruised to a division win in 2021, with Philadelphia the only other winning team and finishing at 9-8.
The Giants haven't won the NFC East since 2011, and they haven't had a winning season since 2016, so their number is probably a little short.
Washington is the question mark due to the potential of their defense to rebound and the possibility of adding an impact quarterback during the offseason.
NFC North
Green Bay Packers -155
Minnesota Vikings +300
Chicago Bears +650
Detroit Lions +800
This is an aggressive number for the Packers, considering the unknown surrounding quarterback Aaron Rodgers' future.
This also creates big numbers for the other three teams. Minnesota and Chicago hired new head coaches this offseason, so a fresh voice could boost.
For what it's worth, the Lions also won their three final home games of the 2021 season.
NFC South
Tampa Bay Buccaneers +140
New Orleans Saints +220
Carolina Panthers +375
Atlanta Falcons +500
Bettors could grab some value in the NFC South, as it could be the division turned upside down the most with Tom Brady and Sean Payton both retiring.
The problem is neither the Panthers nor Falcons have shown much competitiveness over the past number of years. After all, it's been four years since either has had a winning record.
NFC West
Los Angeles Rams +150
San Francisco 49ers +230
Arizona Cardinals +320
Seattle Seahawks +500
The NFC West projects to be one of the toughest divisions in the NFL again in 2022, as three of the four teams reached the postseason last year.
Arizona got off to a 7-0 start last year, and the Rams and 49ers went all the way to the NFC Championship Game before Los Angeles won Super Bowl LVI.
There's some firepower here, and former MVP Russell Wilson, and the Seahawks, shouldn't be brushed under the rug, either.
