Detroit Lions (+1300)
As of 22/11/23
When is a dark horse not a dark horse? When it’s a Lion. To be honest, Detroit can probably feel hard done by to feature in this section. They’re romping to their first NFC North title in 30 years, they currently possess the number two seed, and they have every chance of going all the way. But we’re not all in just yet.
Jacksonville Jaguars (+2000)
As of 22/11/23
Jaguars are looking good for a second straight AFC South Title – although the Texans, inspired by rookie Quarterback CJ Stroud – look like pushing them all the way. They’re talented, they can be frustrating (see Week 10) but they can definitely take down the AFC’s most established in an open-looking year.
Buffalo Bills (+2800)
As of 22/11/23
This is almost the opposite of the Lions. We’re putting Buffalo in here because of the price! The Bills have not looked like the Bills we’ve come to expect. A panic sacking to the OC, Josh Allen’s form, another Stefon Diggs saga. But the AFC East is still winnable and if they can put it all back together, this team can do big things.
Minnesota Vikings (+9500
As of 22/11/23
Hear us out! Last year was a freak season for the Vikings, going 11-0 in one-score games then one-and-done in the Playoffs. This has been a wild ride too. An 0-3 start, Justin Jefferson going down, then Kirk Cousins, before riding into Playoff contention with Josh freakin’ Dobbs. It sounds crazy, but they’re talented, coach O’Connell looks the real deal – and they’re huge odds!
