NFC East Odds, Betting Predictions, Picks 2024: Philadelphia Eagles Take the Lead

• Philadelphia’s odds to win the NFC East division title have astronomically grown

• The Eagles hold the tiebreaker over the Washington Commanders after their win last Thursday

• Jayden Daniels is still a sizable betting favorite to win the Offensive Rookie of the Year award

After last week’s win against the Washington Commanders, the Philadelphia Eagles are now in sole possession of first place in the NFC East division standings. Philadelphia had no issue with moving the ball down the field at a consistent rate as they finished the contest with 434 told yards of offense while averaging 6.2 yards per play. Since getting back to full strength, the Eagles offense have been a well rounded unit as they currently rank above league average in Off DVOA, EPA, and Success Rate.

While the Commanders are still in contention for the division title, they will need to stay within the Eagles winning pace before they face off again in week 16. Should the Commanders want to sustain their high level of play, then their Offensive Rookie of the Year contender Jayden Daniels will need to continue to terrorize opposing defenses with his elite dual threat ability. Especially when their defense continues to struggle, needing their offense to bail them out while playing in high variance contests.

NFC East Predictions and Favorites to Win 

Since drafting Jayden Daniels, the Washington Commanders continue to win and are climbing up the oddsboard for the NFC East division title in the process.

Washington Commanders (+450) at FanDuel

After holding on to first place in the division standings for a majority of the season, the Washington Commanders are now on the outside looking in with the Philadelphia Eagles possessing a 1.5 game lead and the tiebreaker over them. Fortunately for the Commanders, they have the opportunity to stay within reach as they go through a favorable stretch of their schedule with matchups against the Dallas Cowboys, Tennessee Titans, and New Orleans Saints coming up.

Should the Commanders want to stay in contention for the division title, then their defense will need to improve their level of play as they currently rank well below league average across the board in Def DVOA, EPA, Success Rate, and Adjusted Line Yards. Until their defense improves, then star rookie quarterback Jayden Daniels will need to maintain his high level of production to help mask their struggles on defense. With too much variance, pass on the Commanders current odds to win the division title.

Dallas Cowboys (+55000) at FanDuel

While it was expected Dallas would regress after a severely underwhelming offseason, no one expected the Cowboys would get off to a 3-7 start to the season. With Dak Prescott also out with an injury for the foreseeable future, the Cowboys have a realistic shot at rivaling the lowly New York Giants for last place in the division while their backup quarterback Cooper Rush continues to struggle with generating offensive production.

Not only has their offensive production fallen off a cliff, but their defense has also struggled to play at a competitive level as the Cowboys currently rank near dead last in Def DVOA, EPA, Success Rate, and Adjusted Line Yards. Even when their front line excels at generating pressure, opposing offenses have had no issue with combating against it by exposing their gaps in coverage. With no signs of turning around their low level of play, pass on the Cowboys current odds to win the NFC East division title.

New York Giants (+200000) at FanDuel

If it were not for the Dallas Cowboys getting off to a horrific start to their year, then the New York Giants would sit comfortably alone at the bottom of the NFC East division standings. Their offense has been abysmal this season due to their lack of pass production as the Giants offense currently ranks in the bottom half of the board in Pass DVOA, EPA, and Success Rate. Their poor level of play has resulted in a change at quarterback as it was recently announced Daniel Jones has been benched for Tommy DeVito.

The harsh reality for the Giants is that it does not matter who gets the starting nod at quarterback, they will still struggle to stay within the oppositions scoring pace as their defense gives them minimal support. As of writing, the Giants defense ranks well below league average in Def DVOA, EPA, and Success Rate. With minimal support from their defense, as well as DeVito failing to be a step up in production from Jones, pass on the Giants astronomically high odds to win the NFC East.

Who Will Win the NFC East - My Pick 

Philadelphia Eagles (-550) at FanDuel

Since being ravaged by injuries earlier in the year, the Philadelphia Eagles have started to show why they were considered one of the contenders for the Super Bowl after six straight wins. Their hot stretch of play has also helped them leap over Washington for first place in the NFC East division standings, as well as secure the tiebreaker over the Commanders after last week’s win on Thursday night. This allows the Eagles to control their own destiny until the two meet again in week 16.

Unlike the Commanders, the Eagles are a well rounded unit as they excel on both sides of the field. This helps limit the amount of variance in their contests, giving the Eagles a great opportunity to sustain their high level of play. Their lack of production from their offensive line is still a concern as they currently rank below league average in Adjusted Sack Rate and Adjusted Line Yards. Should they manage to improve on their low marks in protection, then the Eagles will be capable of making a deep run in the playoffs.

NFC East History

Ever since the Eagles won four straight division titles back in 2001 to 2004, no one has repeated as a division champion since. The Dallas Cowboys are the current reigning NFC East champions, leading the division with 22 NFC East titles. Oddsmakers have tempered their expectations of the Cowboys breaking the mold and repeating as a champion, listing them with the second-best odds to win the division. 

The Eagles are the current universal betting favorite to win the NFC East, potentially being their 13th title in organization history and third title in a span of six years after winning it in 2022 and 2019. As for the Commanders and Giants, they are looking to shock the division and win their first title since 2020 and 2011. They will have their work cut out for them as they are listed as longshots to win the division title.

How to Choose the Best Sportsbook for Betting on the NFC East

When making a wager on the NFC East futures market, it’s important to have access to as many sportsbooks as you can get. This gives you the ability to lineshop as odds can drastically vary for the division winner. The Eagles for example can be found as low as -550 at FanDuel and as high as -600 at Caesars to win the NFC East. That is a difference of $50 in a tied up wager while returning the same amount of profit for a $100 bettor.

Another major benefit of collecting multiple sportsbooks is that you can receive their unique signup bonus. This gives you a boost to your bankroll, giving you a headstart with your betting ahead of the NFL season. BetMGM Sportsbook for example is giving new users up to $1,500 back in the form of bonus bets should you lose your first wager after creating an account with the WSN promo code WSNSPORTS.

How to Read NFC East Winner Odds

Should you bet the Eagles to win the division at their preseason odds of -130, then you would have had to wager $130 to win $100 if they win the NFC East. Should you like one of the longer shots like the Washington Commanders at +450, then a $100 wager would profit you $450 should they win the division.
