AFC East

It was another bad week for the AFC East. The Bills lost to the Texans to drop to 3-2 and the Jets lost to the Vikings to fall to 2-3 in two very tight games. These two teams will face each other on Monday Night Football with first place in the division on the line.

The Dolphins picked up a win over the Patriots to improve to 2-3 while the Patriots fell to 1-4. The Bills are -260 to win the division ahead of next week’s pivotal matchup.

AFC North

The Ravens won their third straight game to improve to 3-2 while the Steelers lost to the Cowboys to drop to 3-2. The rest of the division is in disarray as the Browns and Bengals both sit at 1-4. The Ravens are -285 to win the AFC North with the Steelers at +330 behind them.

AFC South

The Texans improved to 4-1 with a win over the Bills and have firm control over this division. The Colts are in second place at 2-3 after losing to the Jaguars.

The Jaguars got their first win of the season against the Colts and are now 1-4. The Titans are 1-3 after an early bye week. The Texans are now -500 to win the South.

AFC West

The Chiefs are dominating the AFC West with their 5-0 record after beating the Saints. The Broncos, however, are trying to keep up as they now sit at 3-2 after beating the Raiders to win their third straight game.

The Chargers are 2-2 after an early bye week and the Raiders dropped to 2-3 after the loss to Denver. The Chiefs are -1600 to win the division, the biggest favorite by far to win any division.

NFC East

The Commanders are on fire and picked up another win over the Browns to improve to 4-1 on the season. The Cowboys took down the Steelers to improve to 3-2 as they try to keep up with Washington.

The Eagles had a bye week and remain at 2-2. The Giants beat the Seahawks to improve to 2-3 on the season. Despite being in third place, the Eagles are a +135 favorite to win the division.

NFC North

The Vikings are the lone undefeated team in the NFC after winning a tight one against the Jets in London. The Lions had a bye week and stayed put at 3-1.

This division remains ultra-competitive as both the Bears and Packers picked up wins to improve to 3-2. This is the only division in the NFL where all four teams have winning records.

NFC South

The Falcons beat the Buccaneers on Thursday Night Football to move both teams to 3-2 and tied atop the division standings. After a great start to the season, the Saints have lost three straight games and are now 2-3. The Panthers moved to 1-4 with their loss to the Bears.

NFC West

Despite their loss to the Giants, the Seahawks remain atop the NFC West at 3-2. The Cardinals upset the 49ers and now both of those teams sit at 2-3.

The Rams dropped to 1-4 after their loss to the Packers. Despite the rocky start, the 49ers are still the favorites to win the division at +110.
