The Chicago Bears would have paid out $900 or more to those who bet them early in the season to win the NFC North. Both Green Bay and Minnesota had shorter odds, each listed at +140 back in September.
Even the Detroit Lions had shorter odds at 7-1.
This was the Bears first NFC North victory since 2010.
Matt Nagy's 10 wins are the most by a Bears' first-year coach since the 1970 AFL-NFL merger.
It's the second time since 2003 the Bears have gone from worst-to-first in their division.
The victory over Green Bay on Sunday also gives the Bears a 7-1 record at home for the first time since 2005.
Chicago had the 6th shortest odds of winning the 2019 Super Bowl at 18-1.
