Carolina Panthers (-240)

The Panthers won this division in a romp last season, going 15-1 and making it all the way to the Super Bowl before losing to the Denver Broncos. There is nothing that suggests that this team won’t win the NFC South this season, as they still have more talent than any of the other three teams in the division. They did lose Josh Norman to free agency, but the Carolina Panthers still have the majority of the players that delivered a season to remember last year. There may be a slight fall off for them, but not enough for them to lose the South, unless of course Cam Newton gets hurt.

Atlanta Falcons (+500)

Last season saw a change at the top in the Falcons organization, with coach Dan Quin brought in to replace Mike Smith. Atlanta started the season 5-0, but their dreams were pretty quickly squashed, as they went on to lose 8 of their next 11 to finish the season at 8-8. There have been a few changes made to personnel, with the Falcons looking to offer more protection to QB Matt Ryan who had an off-year last season. Those changes may not be enough, especially when you consider that Atlanta will be saddled with one of the toughest schedules in all of football.

New Orleans Saints (+600)

We are drifting ever closer to the end of the Drew Brees era in New Orleans, and how this team does will depend on a couple of different factors. Brees needs to deliver on more great season, and the defense needs to be a whole lot better than it was last season, when they were 31st in the NFL in points conceded. The Saints drafted well on the defensive side of the ball, but they are going to need those guys to step in and make an immediate impact if they are going to do better than their 7-9 record last season.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers (+700)

If there is a team that might spring a surprise in this division, it could well be the Buccaneers. Jameis Winston had a solid first year at QB, leading the offense to 5th best in the league. The defense sat just outside the top 10 overall last season, and it was somewhat surprising to see this team finish 6-10 given that they played well on both sides of the ball. If the offense and defense can both deliver good numbers again, this team might just sneak into a Wild Card spot.
