Tampa Bay Buccaneers have the best odds to win the NFC for the first time this season.

Their fifth win in six games against Las Vegas Raiders, coupled with Seattle Seahawks surprise loss to Arizona Cardinals, has prompted oddsmakers to elevate Tampa to favorites to secure the conference.

Their odds currently stand at +400 – which carries an implied probability of 20% that they will go on to win the NFC. This puts them just ahead of the Seahawks, whose odds have slipped to +450 (18.18% implied chance).

Green Bay Packers are a close third-favorite with their odds of +500 suggesting a 16.67% probability.

Oddschecker spokesperson Pete Watt: “The Bucs have looked excellent in the past two weeks and only look like they’re going to get even better.”

“Seattle fans may be surprised to see that they have been knocked off top spot by the sportsbooks given that they’re only lost one game, but oddsmakers are clearly both impressed and nervous from what they’ve seen from Tom Brady and co, and have taken evasive action early.”
