The Green Bay Packers have been the class of the NFC North for the past two seasons, and NFL betting sites are once again expecting Aaron Rodgers and company to finish at the top in 2021-22.
The odds for the NFC North are consistent across the board in regard to the rankings from 1 to 4, but there are some advantages to be had by line shopping our top three online sportsbooks.

Green Bay Packers
Gamblers that have bet on the Packers to win the NFC North over the past two years were able to cash in as head coach Matt LaFleur and the previously mentioned QB Aaron Rodgers have set the bar so high that winning Super Bowl 56 is the only measure of a successful season.
While the Chicago Bears have certainly done some work in the NFL Draft this year to attempt to make up the difference, we do expect the Packers to win the NFC North and try to knock off the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in the playoffs.
MyBookie and BetOnline both currently feature the best NFL moneyline odds for the Packers at -150.
2021-22 Prediction: Packers Win NFC North
Minnesota Vikings
The offensive quartet of Kirk Cousins, Dalvin Cook, Justin Jefferson, and Adam Thielen are among the most potent and talented foursomes in the National Football League. The Vikings’ defense is among the best units in the NFL and should have no trouble holding opposing teams to a point total that their offense can routinely surmount.
If the Vikings can avoid the injury bug that has plagued them for the past few years, we expect them to qualify for the NFL Playoffs as a wild card team at the 6 or 7 seed, but that is a big “if” indeed. We’re not laying any action on Minnesota winning the NFC North but NFL bets should be placed at either Bovada or MyBookie’s +250 moneyline if you are interested.
2021-22 Prediction: Vikings Compete For Final Wild Card Spot
Chicago Bears
Rookie quarterback out of Ohio State Justin Fields is lighting up the scoreboard, and futures offered for NFL preseason betting have him as one of the top three contenders for Offensive Rookie of the Year. In order for Fields to win the RoY honors, he has to play, and at the moment, he has yet to earn the starting gig.
Expect a Mahomes-like level of impact on the Bears offense when Fields enters the lineup, and their odds for winning the NFC North may be worth placing a dollar or two on at this early stage. If you’re a sports gambler that’s willing to take a risk on Fields and the Bears, BetOnline has the best payout potential at +575 odds.

Detroit Lions
Outside of the Detroit Lions being a highlight of betting on Thanksgiving NFL games, there’s not much to be enthusiastic about in regard to their 2021-22 season. They are a unanimous selection by online NFL betting sites to finish last and you’ll get no argument from our staff.
This season has all the makings of a rebuilding year for the Lions as they traded their franchise QB, Matt Stafford, to the Los Angeles Rams, for new starter Jared Goff. If you’ve got an inside angle and want to bet on the Lions to win their NFL Division this season, Bovada’s +2800 is where it’s at.
