Gino Bottero: The NFC South has always been the most difficult division to predict. The Panthers were the first repeat champion in the division's history last season, and they pulled off the feat with a 7-8-1 record. If Dan Quinn can right the ship on defense, the Falcons have the offense to run away with the division. Falcons +235 (BetOnline)
Caitlyn Holroyd: The Saints had some pundits predicting a Super Bowl run last season. Losing Jimmy Graham hurts, but the additions of veterans like Brandon Browner, C.J. Spiller, and Dannell Ellerbe suggests the team is in win-now mode. A bounce-back campaign certainly isn't out of the question for Drew Brees and company, especially boasting the fifth-easiest schedule. Saints +240 (Sportsbook.ag)
Joe Thomson: The NFC South is a perpetual coin flip, so why not take the team with decent odds, the best head coach/quarterback combination, and as good a roster as any team in the division? Saints +240 (Sportsbook.ag)
