2019 NFC South Division Predictions and Odds to Win

Falcons Football

1. Atlanta Falcons(+350 odds at Bovada)

The Falcons are coming off of a 7-9 season after winning double digit games and making the playoffs the previous two seasons. Atlanta looks ready to rebound this season behind what should be an explosive offense with an improved offensive line. They drafted two offensive lineman in the 1st round of the 2019 NFL Draft to bolster their weak offensive line. The Falcons need to improve their running game as they finished just 27th in the NFL in rushing last season. Matt Ryan had a great season last year throwing for 35 touchdowns against just 7 interceptions so the passing game should be top notch again. Defensively, they finished a woeful 28th in the NFL in total defense last season. However, they had a lot of injuries last season especially at linebacker and should rebound nicely this season with better health. The one area of concern is their pass rush as they only generated 37 sacks last season. If defensive end Vic Beasley can get back to his 2016 form, where he had 15.5 sacks, then the Falcons defense should be one of the more improved units in the league. We like Atlanta to have a very good season as they are hungry, had a great draft and will be improved on health alone.

Saints Football

2. New Orleans Saints(-190 odds at Bovada)

Back-to-back NFL South Division titles and 24 wins in the regular season over the past two seasons. What do the Saints and their fans have to show for it? Two heartbreaking losses in the NFC Playoffs. You have to wonder if the Saints are going to be motivated and geared up for the regular season this year after coming up short in the postseason in embarrassing fashion the last two years. It’s going to be tough. Head coach Sean Payton still has the most talented roster in the NFC South and arguably the NFC but that hasn’t proven good enough. Veteran quarterback Drew Brees is not getting any younger and he threw a huge interception in the NFC Championship Game to seal the Saints fate in overtime. We are confident he still has the goods to keep the Saint an explosive offense but the passing game did slip to 12th in the NFL last season. It needs to be better. On defense the Saints finished a mediocre 14th overall in the NFL last year. The highest draft pick they added to the defense was 4th rd pick, free safety Chauncey Gardner-Johnson. We think the lack of attention to improving the defense is going to come back and bite them this season.

Panthers Football

3. Carolina Panthers(+550 odds at Bovada)

The Panthers have always been a franchise that has a big year out of nowhere and then disappoints the following season with high expectations. The good news for Panthers fans is they had their down year last season when they went 7-9 after going 11-5 the year prior. The last two times they finished under .500 they followed up with 15-1 and 11-5 seasons. Carolina comes into this season with high hopes and reason for optimism. They finished 10th overall in total offense last season and should be improved based off the play of Cam Newton alone. Cam had an okay season last year but can and should be improved this season. He’s still one of the most talented quarterbacks in the NFL. Defensively, the Panthers finished 15th overall in total defense last year and we expect improvement. They added 1st rd pick, defensive end Brian Burns out of Florida State, plus free agent defensive end Bruce Irvin. We look for the Panthers to be faster to the ball and have an improved pass rush this season. They finished 27th in sacks last season after finishing in the top 6 in the league the previous 3 seasons. Look for them to get back in the Top 10.

Buccaneers Football

4. Tampa Bay Buccaneers(+1200 odds at Bovada)

The Buccaneers have been in the basement of this division almost every season over the past handful of years. Ownership had enough of the losing and decided to bring in new head coach Bruce Arians. For some reason a lot of NFL people think Arians is a special coach but we ain’t buying it. He really hasn’t done anything impressive in the postseason and has no hardware on his fingers as a head coach. Sure, he’s a capable coach, but there is a lot of problems in Tampa Bay talent-wise that very few coaches can overcome. Let’s start with quarterback. Jameis Winston is a bum and is always going to be a bum in the pros. The quicker Arians cuts the cord with this guy the better. Unfortunately, it probably won’t be this year as Blaine Gabbert is the backup. Another bum. The only hope the Bucs have of sniffing a .500 season or better this year is if the defense is lights out. We loved their draft when they took 5 defensive players in the 1st four rounds including 1st rd pick, linebacker Devin White out of LSU. The defense will be solid but is still a year or two away from being good enough to take them to the postseason.
