2023 NFC Championship Betting
Once again, there are two clear favorites to win the NFC. The oddsmakers have the Philadelphia Eagles and the San Francisco 49ers as the teams to beat in the conference after they met in the NFC Championship Game last year. Philadelphia easily won that game after San Francisco lost its third quarterback to injury, but the Niners are hoping their fortunes will turn with a little bit of injury luck. Conversely, the Arizona Cardinals are the longshots in the conference after releasing Nuke Hopkins.

NFC Divisions
NFC East
This could be the most competitive division in the NFC as Philadelphia, Dallas, and the New York Giants all made the playoffs last year and won at least one postseason game. The Cowboys and the Giants went on the road to win during the Wild Card Round, while the Eagles made it to the Super Bowl. Philly is the team to beat, and Dallas could contend because of Dak Prescott, but don’t be surprised if the Giants take a step backwards.
NFC North
Although they haven’t won a playoff game in over three decades, the Detroit Lions are the favorites to win the NFC North. Minnesota showed that it was a fools’ gold team last year, and Green Bay just parted ways with Aaron Rodgers. That has opened the door for a Detroit team that has played well under Dan Campbell. Chicago could be interesting with a running threat like Justin Fields under center, but the Bears must throw the ball somewhat effectively.
NFC South
There are a lot of questions surrounding every team in the NFC South. Tampa Bay is no longer a favorite after Tom Brady’s retirement, and Carolina and Atlanta are both in the middle of a rebuild. That makes New Orleans the division favorite almost by default. The Saints did add Derick Carr to give themselves the best quarterback in the division, but we could easily see a division winner with a losing record here.
NFC West
San Francisco is clearly the team to beat in this division with an elite defense. The Niners have major concerns at the quarterback position though. We still don’t know what to make out of Trey Lance, and he is coming off a second major injury. Brock Purdy was surprisingly very good as a seventh round draft pick out of Iowa State, so at least the Niners have options. Seattle might take a step back after a surprising 2022 campaign, but the other two teams (Arizona and LA) have almost no chance of competing given how they are constructed.

Unlike the New England Patriots’ long-term stranglehold on the AFC, the NFC has had just one repeat champion over the last two decades. Seattle claimed the NFC title in 2013 and 2014, hammering Denver in the Super Bowl the first year before losing a heartbreaker to New England on its return trip.

The Dallas Cowboys and San Francisco 49ers have long been the gold standard in the NFC. Dallas hasn’t won an NFC Championship in over 25 years though, allowing San Francisco to nearly tie their record eight NFC titles. The only team that has yet to win the NFC is the Detroit Lions, and the franchise has only been to the NFC Championship Game one time in its long history.
