When you win eight straight division titles and have totaled at least 12 victories in the last seven, then you should probably be an overwhelming favorite according to oddsmakers. That is certainly the case for the New England Patriots, who are -500 favorites to take home their ninth consecutive AFC East title.

New England leads the charge of divisional favorites heading into the 2017 season, and rightfully so. After pulling off a remarkable comeback in Super Bowl 51 to win their fifth Vince Lombardi Trophy, the Pats are the team to beat again this year. But two other NFC squads are strong chalk to win their respective divisions as well.

The Seattle Seahawks are listed at -350 to win the NFC West for the fourth time in five years while the Green Bay Packers are -140 to take the NFC North for the sixth time in seven seasons.
