NFC North odds
| Team | Price | Implied chance | Share with the margin removed | Record |
|---|---|---|---|---|

| Detroit Lions | +300 | 25.0% | 23.0% | 3-2 |

Prices to win the NFC North from DraftKings, as ESPN showed them at 11:27 UTC on October 17, 2026, with records from ESPN’s standings.
An unbeaten team with a two-game lead is priced at even money here. At +100, $100 wins $100, and the bet breaks even if Minnesota wins the division 100 times in 200, or 50.0%. Detroit’s +300 needs exactly 25.0%.
The four break-even rates sum to 108.8%, so the book holds 8.8 points. Divide that out and the board reads Minnesota 46.0%, Detroit 23.0%, Chicago 20.0% and Green Bay 11.1%.
We make no NFC North pick. Whether +100 is a bet depends on whether you put Minnesota above 50.0%, and the standings and schedule below are the evidence for that. See the futures bet guide for how the bet works.

What each NFC North price needs
Minnesota, +100. The Vikings need 50.0%. They are 2-0 in the division and held Chicago to three points on September 20.
Detroit, +300. $100 wins $300 and needs 25.0%. The Lions are the second choice without a division result to their name, and both games against Minnesota are still to come.
Chicago, +360. $100 wins $360 and needs 21.7%. The Bears lost 9-3 to Minnesota and 31-7 at Green Bay on October 11, and are priced ahead of a Packers team that has the same record and beat them.
Green Bay, +730. $100 wins $730 and needs 12.0%. The Packers lost 39-22 at Minnesota in Week 1 and host the Vikings on November 15.
