NFL Futures: NFC Conference odds update

The Green Bay Packers and Philadelphia Eagles both are talented enough to win the NFC this year and play in Super Bowl 55 in Tampa, Florida. The Packers and Eagles also have two of the best quarterbacks in the NFL in Aaron Rodgers and Carson Wentz, respectively. The championship window is wide open for both franchises. Yet both made very puzzling early picks in the 2020 NFL Draft this past weekend.

Green Bay is at +1000 with Philadelphia at +1100 to win the NFC title, behind the San Francisco 49ers (+400), New Orleans Saints (+500) and Tampa Bay Buccaneers (+500).

The Packers, who haven’t won the NFC since the 2010 season and were crushed in last year’s NFC title game by the 49ers, bafflingly selected Utah State quarterback Jordan Love with their first-round pick in the 2020 draft, trading up a few spots to get him. While Love has major upside, he’s a project and will not help the team this year.
