Nine teams are unbeaten entering NFL Week 3, and top-rated sportsbooks are dealing odds on all of them to be the last undefeated team this season.
Let's focus on the top-three teams based on their odds in this futures betting market: San Francisco 49ers, Philadelphia Eagles, and Dallas Cowboys. The Eagles made things interesting last season by winning their first eight games.
Who will be the last team standing in 2023?
Odds on NFL's final team to be undefeated
Let's take a look at live betting odds on the last NFL team to be undefeated at top-rated sportsbooks.
San Francisco 49ers
You can make a convincing case for the 49ers based on their schedule the next two weeks. San Francisco hosts the Giants on Thursday Night Football this week as a point favorite. The look-ahead line for San Francisco's Week 4 game against the Cardinals is 49ers .
San Francisco's defense ranks third in the NFL in points allowed per game (15.4). The offense is stacked with Christian McCaffrey, Deebo Samuel, Brandon Aiyuk, and George Kittle. QB Brock Purdy and mates will likely be 4-0 entering a huge Week 5 showdown vs. Dallas.
Philadelphia Eagles
The Eagles were the NFL's final undefeated team last season at 8-0, but they haven't looked as dominant early this year. They were fortunate to escape with a 25-20 win at New England in the season opener. Minnesota pushed them to the limit in a 34-28 loss last week on Thursday Night Football.
If Philadelphia can escape with a win at undefeated Tampa Bay on Monday Night Football, the Commanders, Rams, and Jets come next on the schedule in three tilts the Eagles will be favored in. Remember, though, it was the Commanders who knocked the Eagles from their unbeaten perch a year ago.
Dallas Cowboys
Is this the year that Dallas finally lives up to the hype that perennially surrounds the Cowboys? If the first two weeks afford an accurate indication, it very well could be.
Dallas dominated the Giants (40-0) and Jets (30-10) to open the season, and the Cowboys face lowly Arizona as a point favorite this week. QB Dak Prescott publicly vowed to cut down on his interceptions heading into the season and he's yet to be picked off.
Micah Parsons (three sacks) is the primary disruptor on a Dallas defense that's given up a league-low five points per game and 193 yards per game.
How to bet: Upsets happen more than occasionally in the NFL, which makes it the greatest sports reality TV you'll see on a week-to-week basis. Dallas travels to San Francisco in Week 5 in a pivotal matchup for the purposes of this bet. Who do you like to win that contest? Back that team to be the last undefeated squad this year.
Perfect season odds on any NFL team to go 17-0
What about the odds on any NFL team to go undefeated in the 2023 regular season? Our friends at Bet365 are offering +1200 on "Yes" and -2500 on "No" for that bet.
Pro tip: This is not a bet you should expect to win at +1200! It's happened just four times in NFL history with the Bears posting the first two undefeated seasons back in the 1930s and 1940s, respectively. Players were wearing leather helmets back then, so let's toss those two from our equation.
The Patriots are the most recent NFL team to run run the table in the regular season. In 2007, New England finished 16-0 and reached the Super Bowl before losing as a 12.5-point favorite against the Giants, 17-14.
The Dolphins remain the only team to go undefeated during the regular season and playoffs. Members of Miami's Super Bowl-winning team in 1972 celebrate the accomplishment with a champagne toast when the league's final unbeaten team goes down each year.
How to bet: Pass. We're not laying that amount of juice on "No" and +1200 is not nearly enough value to make a play on "Yes" given the parity that exists in the NFL these days.
