NFL futures: Is there a team capable of sweeping their division this season?

 

The beauty of NFL divisions lies in the parity they often bring when teams face off twice each season. Trends, strengths, and weaknesses can be less predictable as rivals engage in more physical and grinding matchups born from familiarity.

With that in mind, DraftKings offers a betting market for teams to win every single division game. While it doesn’t happen often, there are a few teams worth considering for this season.

Potential Betting Choices for Divisional Dominance This NFL Season

Kansas City Chiefs (+550)
The Chiefs have the best odds to sweep their division, and it’s clear why. With Patrick Mahomes leading the team to two straight Super Bowl victories and sharing the AFC West with struggling teams, Kansas City is well-positioned. The Chargers have lost key players, while the Raiders and Broncos face major quarterback issues. The Chiefs have gone 6-0 in the division twice in the last five seasons and should be favored in every divisional game this season.

Dallas Cowboys (+1200) or Philadelphia Eagles (+1200)
While a clean 6-0 record in the NFC East is unlikely, it could come from either of these teams. Both have consistently dominated the Giants, who could be one of the league’s weakest teams this year. Washington shows promise with Jayden Daniels at QB but might still be a year away from serious competition. Dallas and Philly tend to split their matchups, but the NFC East presents an easier path for a sweep.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers (+2200)
Though a longshot, Tampa Bay, who went 4-2 in the NFC South and won the division last year, offers intriguing value. Carolina is expected to struggle again, likely handing out wins to its rivals. New Orleans seems poised for a decline with a regressing Derek Carr and a shaky head coach in Dennis Allen. The main challenge would be the Atlanta Falcons, who are viewed favorably with Kirk Cousins. If the Bucs can overcome Atlanta, there is a potential path to a division sweep.
