There are some great NFL betting opportunities out there, and now is the perfect time to start making those wagers. When you are looking to make futures bets, you should always be looking to cash in on some big value plays.
Making a bet on division title winners or the eventual Super Bowl champion will always be something good to look at, but there are actually better plays available. You can bet on which stage certain teams will be eliminated, and that is where you can really cash in.
Here is a look at three teams and their elimination stage that should come with some great value.

Chicago Bears: Lose In Divisional Round (+800)
The NFC North Division is wide open heading into the 2023-24 NFL season, and it will be the Chicago Bears that take full advantage of this opportunity. Chicago currently has the worst odds to win that division, but it wouldn’t be a huge shock to see them pull that off.
If you are someone who believes that Justin Fields and the Bears can go on and win the NFC North Division, then you might as well take that one step further. Chicago would be a tough team to beat in the NFL Playoffs at Soldier Field, especially in the Wild Card Round.
You can cash in with a massive payout if you bet on the Bears to lose in the division round, as those odds are set at +800. A lot would have to go right for the Bears to win at least one playoff game, but they have the talent to make that happen.
Jump on the bandwagon of the Bears early and take them to lose in the divisional round at +800.
Dallas Cowboys: Lose in Wild Card Round (+320)
The Dallas Cowboys should be in a position to make the playoffs during the 2023-24 NFL season, and that takes away some options for this bet. Dallas isn’t going to miss the playoffs, but they aren’t a team that is a serious threat to win the NFC or the Super Bowl.
With that in mind, you can really narrow your potential picks for this wager as the Cowboys will lose in either the Wild Card Round or Divisional Round. Since the Cowboys aren’t going to win the NFC East (Philadelphia Eagles), their only path to the playoffs is by a Wild Card spot.
Dallas would then be on the road for the first round of the playoffs, and they haven’t exactly been a great Wild Card team. This feels like a pretty safe bet to make, as Dallas will be a playoff team, but they won’t be playing more than one game in the postseason.
Philadelphia Eagles: Lose in NFC Championship Game (+475)
The Philadelphia Eagles were the NFC champions a season ago, and they are bringing back nearly the same roster for an attempt to repeat this season. While it’s hard to see anyone in the NFC being better than the Eagles in 2023-24, it’s also extremely hard to repeat as conference champions.
Philadelphia should cruise to a divisional title in the NFC East, and they will likely have the best overall record in the NFL during the regular season. The Eagles should cruise to the NFC Championship Game, but that is when things are going to get interesting.
The San Francisco 49ers are another team that is loaded with talent, and they will likely meet Philadelphia in the title game. Look for the 49ers to win the conference this year, and you can bet on the Eagles to lose in this round at +475.
