The NFC East is typically either one of the worst divisions in the NFL or one of the best, without much middle ground. Currently, this division resides as the latter, as it is the home to multiple playoff teams from last season, including a recent Super Bowl participant. Here, we look at the NFC East futures odds for 2024 and make our NFL betting picks for this division.
NFC East Futures Betting Odds
| Team | NFC East Odds |
| Philadelphia Eagles | -550 |
| Washington Commanders | +375 |
| Dallas Cowboys | +50000 |
| New York Giants | +100000 |
Philadelphia Eagles
The Philadelphia Eagles had a lead in the NFC East but fell apart late in the season in 2023 to blow their shot at another division title. Philly fell apart offensively late in the season last year, which led to a first-round playoff exit at the hands of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Bringing in Saquon Barkley has grabbed headlines and the Eagles have lived up to the hype, taking advantage of the struggles of the Cowboys to snag the lead in the NFC East and become heavy division favorites.
Washington Commanders
There was a ton of optimism going into last season for Washington Commanders. They had high hopes for quarterback Sam Howell and their defense. But they struggled out of the gate and ended up tanking down the stretch, losing seven games in a row. Now the Commanders have a new head coach in Dan Quinn and have drafted Jayden Daniels to try and fix their quarterback situation to get out of the basement in the NFC East. Daniels has been great early this season and the Commanders will hope that continues to translate to wins that will help them contend for this division crown, as the Commanders are in second place behind Philadelphia.
Dallas Cowboys
The Dallas Cowboys defied expectations last season and managed to win the NFC East. They got hot late in the season behind the strength of their defense to overtake the Philadelphia Eagles at the top of this division. This year appears to be a lost season for the Cowboys, with Dak Prescott out for the season due to injury and Cooper Rush yet to show he can fill Dak’s shoes.
New York Giants
It was a strange season for the New York Giants last year. Their offensive line was an embarrassment, leading to injuries for multiple quarterbacks, including starting quarterback Daniel Jones. That led to plenty of playing time for Tommy DeVito and Tyrod Taylor, who were by no means worse than Jones. This year, DeVito is back under center for the Giants, who have benched Jones for playing so poorly in what looks like another season in last place for New York.
2024 NFC East Futures Prediction
This season has become a two-team race in the NFC East. The Eagles and Commanders appear to have a shot at winning this division, with the Commanders quickly becoming one of the league’s most pleasant surprises. We will go with the Eagles to win this division, but it would be a much better story if Washington was able to get the job done.
