Though the Bucs have won the NFC South three straight seasons, oddsmakers are setting the Falcons as the division's team to beat in 2024.
Has the signing of quarterback Kirk Cousins made the Falcons the team to beat in the NFC South? The Bucs have won the division three years in a row and have brought back their best free agents. Oddsmakers, however, have set Atlanta as a clear-cut favorite to win the division and end a six-year playoff drought. The folks coming up with NFL power rankings are more divided on which team is ahead.
Two years ago, the NFC South finished close enough that a single game separated first from last, and in 2023, the Bucs and Saints were both 9-8, while the Falcons finished 7-10 and the Panthers a league-worst 2-15. Of those four, only the Bucs exceeded their over/under win totals from before the season. Tampa was projected to win just 6.5 games. One thing working against the Bucs — again — is having to play a first-place schedule.
