NFC East Odds 2024

The NFC East is one of the most competitive divisions in the National Football League, featuring four teams from major metro areas, all with rich histories and passionate fan bases. The combined popularity of the Dallas Cowboys, New York Giants, Philadelphia Eagles, and Washington Commanders are unmatched – and makes betting on the NFC East Division winner one of the most popular ways to bet on the NFL with hard Rock Bet.

How to read the NFC East odds

Divisional odds are laid out in a moneyline/winner format. Teams listed with a (-) next to their name will be favorites, while the remaining teams will have a (+) next to their odds, indicating their underdog status. Any odds with a (-) in front of them indicate that you need to bet that amount to profit $100 on your wager. NFC East odds with a (+) next to them will return that amount of profit on a $100 wager.

The higher the number next to the a (+), the bigger the underdog. For example:

• Eagles -110: Bet $110 on Philadelphia to win $210 ($100 profit)
• Giants +1300: Bet $100 on New York to win $1,400 ($1300 profit)

What to know: Betting the NFC East

With only four teams in each NFL Division, the odds of any single team winning are going to be relatively favorable when compared to other football betting markets. Super Bowl odds, for example, is a market spread 32-ways with each team beginning the year with a chance to win.

Familiarity breeds confidence

NFL bettors, and fans of NFL teams know their divisions well. After all, as all fans know, you see your division rivals at least twice per season – and potentially a third time in the playoffs if things go well. This makes NFL divisional betting markets, like with the NFC East, intriguing options from a betting perspective. Bettors and fans are aware of offseason additions, they follow what rivals are doing in the draft, what they look like during camp, where each team is strong and where they’re weak. This extra degree of attention, rightly or wrongly, can breed confidence in the betting market.

Timing is key

Hard Rock Bet provides real-time odds for the NFC East division winner, updated continuously throughout the year. This allows bettors to take advantage of the latest developments and make strategic wagers based on current team performance and news.

Betting on the NFC East is not about predicting the outcome of a single game but involves a deep understanding of team dynamics, player performances, and the overall competitive landscape of the division. As such, the timing of your wager is almost as important as who you wager on. As the season progresses, the odds will shift in response to injuries, trades, and game results, offering dynamic opportunities for bettors to find value. Stay tuned to Hard Rock Bet for the most up-to-date NFC East odds and make your predictions on which team will claim the division title.

NFC East Teams

The NFC East is composed of four teams, each with a unique backstory and a fervent ambition to claim the division title. The Dallas Cowboys, New York Giants, Philadelphia Eagles, and Washington Commanders all bring their distinct styles and fan bases to the table, making the NFC East one of the most unpredictable and exciting divisions in the NFL. Let’s take a closer look at each team:

Dallas Cowboys: Reigning NFC East champion

• Stadium: AT&T Stadium, Arlington, Texas
• Last NFC East Division Title: 2023

The Dallas Cowboys, often dubbed “America’s Team,” are a perennial favorite in the NFC East. With a storied history that includes five Super Bowl championships, the Cowboys consistently attract attention and high expectations. Playing their home games at the state-of-the-art AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas, the Cowboys boast one of the most dedicated fan bases in the NFL – and these fans aren’t just in Texas, either.

In recent years, the Cowboys have been strong contenders in the NFC East, capturing the division title in 2023. Their offense, led by star players such as quarterback Dak Prescott and wide receiver CeeDee Lamb, has the firepower to dominate opponents. The team’s defense has also evolved into one of the league’s strongest units, making the Cowboys a favorite not just in the Division, but for the entire NFC.

New York Giants: The underdog

• Stadium: MetLife Stadium, East Rutherford, New Jersey
• Last NFC East Division Title: 2011

The New York Giants are one of the oldest and most storied franchises in the NFL, with a history that includes four Super Bowl championships. Playing their home games at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey, the Giants are backed by a passionate fan base eager to see their team return to glory.

Although the Giants’ last NFC East division title came in 2011, they have shown signs of resurgence in recent seasons. With a mix of experienced veterans and promising young talent, the Giants are building a team capable of competing at a high level.

The Giants are considered significant underdogs in 2024, but they’re only one year removed from their last playoff victory. With a strong start to the season and key players stepping up, the Giants could defy expectations and make a significant impact in the division race.

Philadelphia Eagles: The preseason favorite

• Stadium: Lincoln Financial Field, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania
• Last NFC East Title: 2022

The Philadelphia Eagles, known for their excitable fan base and spirit, are a force in the NFC East. Playing at Lincoln Financial Field in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, the Eagles have a legacy that includes a lone Super Bowl victory in 2018 – the most recent in the division. Their last NFC East division title came in 2022, which they turned into an NFC Championship.

The Eagles’ offense, led by Jalen Hurts and a talented group of wide receivers including DeVonta Smith and A.J. Brown, is capable of putting up big numbers against any defense. On the defensive side, the Eagles are anchored by a solid front line and an aggressive secondary, making them a well-rounded team.

The team’s balanced attack and strong leadership make them a serious threat to reclaim the NFC East title. Fans and bettors alike keep a close eye on the Eagles, anticipating another competitive season.

Washington Commanders: New hope

• Stadium: FedEx Field, Landover Maryland
• Last NFC East Title: 2020 (As the Washington Football Team)

The Washington Commanders, owners of three (admittedly distant) Super Bowl titles, have endured decades of mediocrity in the NFC East. In fact, over the last 15 years they’ve finished in third (3x) or fourth/last (9x) an impressive 12 combined times during that span. While the other three seasons did result in division titles, the team never won more than ten games during that span. However, for the first time in a long time the Commanders have reason to be excited.

Dan Snyder is out. New ownership is in. Ron Rivera is out as head coach, Dan Quinn is in… and there are new, exciting weapons in town, too. 2023 Heisman Trophy winner Jayden Daniels was selected second overall in the NFL draft and brings juice to FedEx field that hasn’t been seen in a long time.

What history tells us about NFC East betting

The NFC East is known for its unpredictability, with no team consistently dominating the division in recent years. In fact, it’s been twenty years since the same team captured the division title two years in a row. This variability has made the race for the NFC East title particularly thrilling.

The NFC East was first formed in 1967, branded as the “Capitol Division” of the NFL. However, after the 1970 merger with the AFL it officially adopted the NFC East name. In the decades since the division has established itself as a true cornerstone of the league. Tying in the major Northeastern metro areas of New York, Philadelphia, and Washington DC, plus the biggest team in Texas – the sheer volume of fans can’t be topped. Plus, the level of play and has traditionally been quite high.

Divisional dominance

Dating back to the division’s origins in 1967, the Dallas Cowboys have been the most successful team in the NFC East with 25 division titles. The Eagles have captured 12 of their own, while the Commanders (9) and Giants (8) bring up the rear. However, as we referenced earlier it’s been twenty years since a team managed to repeat – so from a year-to-year basis it’s anyone’s game.

Unprecedented success

No single division has won more Super Bowl titles (13) than the NFC East. In fact, the AFC East, with the New England Patriots accounting for six, are a distant second with nine titles.

Additionally, the NFC East is the only division where all four teams have won a Super Bowl.

• Dallas Cowboys: 5
• NY Giants: 4
• Washington Commanders: 3
• Philadelphia Eagles: 1
