Even though the Tampa Bay Buccaneers continue to squeak out wins, negative regression looms large over the current division leaders as their offensive line has been ravaged by injuries. With their Pass Protection Win Rate expected to harshly decline, this will increase the amount of Havoc in Baker Mayfield’s throws. Should you have bet on the Buccaneers to win the division earlier in the year, consider hedging some of your wager on the Atlanta Falcons.
As for the Carolina Panthers, they made a statement in week three as they routed the Falcons 30-0. Even in their win, Bryce Young struggled to air out the ball as he finished the contest with 121 passing yards. The Panthers can not continue to rely on turnovers to keep them competitive as Young’s struggles in the pocket brings in a high amount of variance into the contest. Until Young elevates his play, then pass on the Panthers to win the NFC South division title.

It has been an unfortunate start to the year for the Atlanta Falcons as they continue to lose in games where they arguably outperformed their competition. Even in a 30-0 loss, it’s worth noting the Falcons comfortably outgained the Carolina Panthers in week three. Turnovers halted their progression, leading to scoring opportunities for the Panthers to exploit. Place a wager on the Falcons to win the division now before regression swings towards their way.
When looking to bet on a team to win the NFC South, it’s vital to factor in who they retained and added throughout the offseason. A team with continuity on both sides of the ball are in a great position to get off to a hot start as it helps limit the amount of variance in their contests. Should their additions also pan out, then that provides a team enough talent to help remain competitive throughout the season.
Another factor to consider is the team’s strength of schedule and situational spots. The easier the schedule, the higher the chance a team can string together their wins to help stay at the top of the division standings. Especially if they receive ample rest between their primetime and international games as it helps them avoid a potential let down spot.
Before placing any type of wager, it’s vital to know how the listed odds work. With the Falcons preseason odds listed at +230 to win the NFC South, then a $100 wager would profit you $230 if they win the division title.
If you wait to see if they build up a lead in the division standings and are listed with a minus sign in front of their odds (-145 for example), then you would need to wager $145 to profit $100. Always line shop before placing a wager as the odds for the same market can drastically vary between each sportsbook.
