There’s no question that the NFC North enters the 2025 season as the NFL’s most competitive division with four legit playoff contenders. But with no clear doormat and new faces in key places, picking a winner isn’t just difficult — it’s a bet on volatility and upside.

Detroit (+155) has posted three straight winning seasons and returns most of the core that Dan Campbell has transformed into a high-octane football team. But both coordinators left for head coaching jobs, raising fair questions about stability in a league where coaching turnover often precedes regression. The Lions remain the rightful favorite, but at this price, there’s no betting value to me.

Jordan Love helped Green Bay (+250) reach the postseason last year, but the team did little to improve this offseason while the other teams progressed in one way or another. The Packers are a well-run franchise with a steady coach in Matt LaFleur, but this might be the most uphill divisional race they’ve faced in years. If this were the NFC South, Green Bay would be a runaway favorite — here, they’re the team I’m fading.

The J.J. McCarthy era begins, and while he hasn’t taken an NFL snap, the Vikings (+270) quietly built one of the league’s most improved rosters. They poured resources into the defense, bolstered the offense around their rookie QB, and still managed to move on from a breakout star in Sam Darnold without a step back in talent. At these odds, Minnesota presents an intriguing swing if you’re betting on upside in a crowded field.

Caleb Williams has the tools to be special — and Chicago (+550) spent the offseason giving him everything he needs to succeed. With new head coach Ben Johnson and a retooled offense, the Bears are the most improved team in the North. If Williams ascends quickly, the Bears could make a Cincinnati-like leap, and at nearly 5/1, they’re the best value bet on the board.
