Amid rumors of a potential Aaron Rodgers trade, the Denver Broncos’ odds to win the division have shortened considerably from its opening mark of +1800 to its current rate of +500 at BetMGM.
The Broncos are still considered longshots to best the Kansas City Chiefs (-300) in the AFC West, but Denver is nevertheless the largest liability in the division at the sportsbook.
The Green Bay Packers’ odds to win the NFC North have lengthened from -250 to -120 as a result of the uncertainty around their MVP-winning quarterback.
The Minnesota Vikings are the second-best favorites at +250, and the Bears are +325 to win the division. The Detroit Lions have +2200 odds to win their first NFC North title since 1993.
