NFC South Football Picks, NFL Divisional Odds, Super Bowl Predictions 

The 2017 NFC North should be very interesting as we will see if the Atlanta Falcons under 2nd year head coach Dan Quinn can repeat last years 11-5 season and a trip to the Super Bowl LI where as you remember the Falcons lost a 25 point second-half lead and had a one of the biggest coaching choke jobs in league history. The Atlanta Falcons this year will have Steve Sarkisian replacing Kyle Shanahan as the offense coordinator but considering the Atlanta Falcons have an absolutely loaded roster we see a legitimate Super Bowl contender here. Las Vegas agrees having set the odds to win Super Bowl LII for the Falcons at +1050 with odds on total 9.5 wins. Even with the Falcons playing in a stout division and having to play the NFC North and the AFC East which will have them playing at New England week 7 in a Super Bowl rematch. Atlanta over 9.5 wins is our bet we believe 11-5 should be the repeal of the 2016 record and we see the Falcons qualifying for the NFL playoffs and would play Atlanta +1050 to win Super Bowl LII in Minneapolis in February. The second-best team this year as Las Vegas predicts should be the Carolina Panthers under 7th year head coach Ron Rivera. The Carolina Panthers lines for winning the Super Bowl was set at +3000 with a win total of over/under 9.5 wins. Cam Newton showed last year that he is not a premium NFL quarterback because he just doesn't pass the ball with enough accuracy and this year having Christian McCaffrey catching it out of the backfield can open it up a little bit and give Cam confidence. the idea is to not have to be so reliant on Calvin Benjamin and Greg Olsen down the field. Most importantly if the Panthers defense, mainly Luke Kuechly and Thomas Davis do not stay healthy as they like last year you can see a possible first place team drop down to a last-place team awfully quickly because there is no guarantees Carolina is gonna win more than six or seven games this year without a healthy defense. With all the talk of Cam Newton this and that it is obvious that the Carolina Panthers Football club lives and dies with their defense. So much Carolina going under 9 wins is our prediction because we think the defense will not be what it once was. Tampa Bay under 2nd year head coach Dirk Koetter should be better if Jameis Winston's upward Ascension continues with DeShawn Jackson giving him that deep threat and they could run the ball and they play quality defense and special teams. We predict the over under on Tampa Bay is 8 wins we see Tampa Bay Buccaneers going 8-8 or 9-7 and believe they will be a tough team to beat. They lost a ton of very close games last year and we see Tampa Bay as an over 8 win team. Las Vegas has the odds on the Buccaneers winning Super Bowl LII at +3450 and we will not be playing that. Also Las Vegas has the New Orleans Saints set at +5000 to win the Super Bowl which shows very little confidence in a team that just simply plays bad defense. Betting on a 38 year old Drew Brees who will be relying on Adrian Peterson and Willie Sneed makes it difficult for us to see them getting 8 wins. Vegas has the over under on at 8 wins and we think that this is a push at best but most likely New Orleans is a 6 or 7 win team who does not make the NFL playoffs in 2017 so under 8 wins is the play New Orleans Saints.
