The San Francisco 49ers are favored to win the NFC Championship. They are +240 on DraftKings in the market ESPN showed on Tuesday, October 20, 2026, after a 23-17 win over Washington on Monday night took them to 6-0. The Seattle Seahawks are second at +670, and the Los Angeles Rams and Minnesota Vikings share third at +700.
With Week 6 complete, San Francisco is the NFC’s top seed and Minnesota, 5-0 after its bye, is second. The Rams lost 18-16 at home to Arizona, are 2-4 and sit 14th, and their price has gone from +380 on October 17 to +700.
NFC Championship odds for all 16 teams
| Team | Record | Price | Implied chance | Share of board | October 17 | September 24 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| San Francisco 49ers | 6-0 | +240 | 29.4% | 25.6% | +290 | +450 |
| Seattle Seahawks | 3-3 | +670 | 13.0% | 11.3% | +690 | +450 |
| Los Angeles Rams | 2-4 | +700 | 12.5% | 10.9% | +380 | +390 |
| Minnesota Vikings | 5-0 | +700 | 12.5% | 10.9% | +650 | +1100 |
| Chicago Bears | 4-2 | +790 | 11.2% | 9.8% | +1300 | +1500 |
| Detroit Lions | 3-2 | +1150 | 8.0% | 7.0% | +1225 | +1100 |
| Green Bay Packers | 4-2 | +1175 | 7.8% | 6.8% | +1600 | +1500 |
| Carolina Panthers | 3-2 | +1275 | 7.3% | 6.3% | +2300 | +3700 |
| Dallas Cowboys | 2-4 | +2050 | 4.7% | 4.0% | +1800 | +1600 |
| Atlanta Falcons | 2-4 | +4200 | 2.3% | 2.0% | +2800 | +19000 |
| New York Giants | 3-2-1 | +4600 | 2.1% | 1.9% | +5300 | +3500 |
| Washington Commanders | 1-4-1 | +8600 | 1.1% | 1.0% | +9800 | +8000 |
| New Orleans Saints | 2-4 | +11500 | 0.9% | 0.7% | +17000 | +2500 |
| Philadelphia Eagles | 2-4 | +12000 | 0.8% | 0.7% | +2900 | +850 |
| Tampa Bay Buccaneers | 1-5 | +12500 | 0.8% | 0.7% | +7000 | +5400 |
| Arizona Cardinals | 2-4 | +20000 | 0.5% | 0.4% | +20000 | +20000 |
These are the prices in DraftKings’ NFC winner market, read from ESPN at 05:52 UTC on October 20, 2026, next to each team’s record in ESPN’s standings. The October 17 figures come from the same market, read at 11:41 UTC three days earlier, and September 24 is what this page showed on that date.
A price of +240 pays $240 on a $100 stake and breaks even at 29.4%, which is 100 over 340. Add up all 16 break-even figures and you get 115.0%: the 15 above 100 is margin. Share of board strips it out in proportion and leaves San Francisco at 25.6%.
The three NFC West teams at the top, San Francisco, Seattle and the Rams, hold 47.7% of the board between them. No pick is stated here. A conference future is a bet only if your number for a team is higher than the one in the implied column.
How the NFC prices have moved
The Rams have moved the most since October 17, losing 8.3 points of implied chance. They were second on the board then and are now level with Minnesota behind Seattle.
Chicago came in from +1300 to +790 after winning 31-23 at Atlanta, the second-largest move, and San Francisco from +290 to +240. Green Bay shortened from +1600 to +1175 after beating Dallas 23-13 for a third straight win, and Carolina from +2300 to +1275 after a 25-14 win in Philadelphia.
Philadelphia has fallen furthest over the longer run. The Eagles were +850 on September 24 and +2900 on October 17, and they are +12000 now at 2-4 after four straight losses. Atlanta drifted from +2800 to +4200 and Tampa Bay from +7000 to +12500 at 1-5, while New Orleans came in from +17000 to +11500 after winning 34-27 at the Giants.
Minnesota had its bye and drifted from +650 to +700. Its 64 points allowed in five games are still the fewest in the NFC. Washington lost on Monday and still shortened, from +9800 to +8600.
The NFC seeds as they stand
| Seed | Team | Record | Division | Price to win the NFC |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | San Francisco 49ers | 6-0 | NFC West | +240 |
| 2 | Minnesota Vikings | 5-0 | NFC North | +700 |
| 3 | Carolina Panthers | 3-2 | NFC South | +1275 |
| 4 | New York Giants | 3-2-1 | NFC East | +4600 |
| 5 | Green Bay Packers | 4-2 | NFC North | +1175 |
| 6 | Chicago Bears | 4-2 | NFC North | +790 |
| 7 | Detroit Lions | 3-2 | NFC North | +1150 |
This is ESPN’s order at the same read, with 93 games played across the league. Division leaders are seeded first to fourth whatever their record, which is how 3-2 Carolina is third and the 3-2-1 Giants fourth, ahead of two 4-2 teams.
All four NFC North teams are in the seven: Minnesota second, then Green Bay, Chicago and Detroit in the three Wild Card places. Detroit is 3-2 after its bye, and Seattle is eighth at 3-3, half a game back.
The prices put the Giants well down. New York holds the fourth seed at +4600, the 11th price of the 16, while Seattle and the Rams, both outside the seven, hold the second and third prices.

Nine teams are +3000 or shorter and they hold 92.5% of the board, so the table stops there. Lines come from DraftKings through ESPN’s Week 7 scoreboard, at the read above, and times are Eastern. A link in the last column opens our prediction for that game.
Chicago starts Week 7 at home on Thursday against New England as a 3-point favorite. San Francisco is a 3.5-point favorite at Atlanta on Sunday, and Minnesota is laying 6.5 at home to Indianapolis, the largest spread in the table.
Green Bay at Detroit puts two teams from the table against each other, with the Lions favored by 3. The Rams are 4.5-point favorites at Las Vegas, Seattle hosts Kansas City as a 2.5-point favorite on Sunday night, and Dallas is a 4.5-point favorite at Philadelphia on Monday night.
Washington is the one NFC team on a bye this week and returns on November 1, at home to Philadelphia.
When the NFC Championship Game is played
ESPN’s postseason schedule has the NFC Championship Game on Sunday, January 31, 2027, with the kickoff time still to be set. The AFC decides its champion the same day, and the two winners meet in Super Bowl LXI on February 14, 2027.
That Super Bowl is at SoFi Stadium in Inglewood, California, where the Rams play their home games. The NFC title game has no venue on ESPN’s schedule so far. It goes to the home field of one of the last two teams, and those are known once the Divisional round of January 23 and 24 is played.
