2020 NFC South Division bets: Who will win?
Here are the odds for first place.
- New Orleans Saints +100
- Tampa Bay Buccaneers +120
- Atlanta Falcons +900
- Carolina Panthers +1800
This year, the division will likely be a two-team race between the Saints and the Buccaneers. New Orleans added a top receiver in free agency in Emmanuel Sanders for QB Drew Brees. The Bucs added QB Tom Brady and TE Rob Gronkowski. Because Brady will be learning a new offense under head coach Bruce Arians and the Saints have continuity and new talent, give them the edge to win the division. Take the SAINTS (+100) at even money.

2020 NFC South Division bets: Who will finish second?
- Tampa Bay Buccaneers +125
- New Orleans Saints +135
- Atlanta Falcons +525
- Carolina Panthers +1000
With the Saints already picked to win the division, you have to look at the Bucs as the best pick for a runner-up finish. They might come out of the gates slowly, but they have the offensive weapons for Brady and a defense that played much better down the stretch in 2019. The Falcons might be better than their 7-9 record of last year, but they likely won’t be better than the Bucs. Take the BUCCANEERS (+125).
2020 NFC South Division bets: Who will finish third?
- Atlanta Falcons -105
- Carolina Panthers +260
- Tampa Bay Buccaneers +450
- New Orleans Saints +525
Looking at the Falcons and Panthers, there is clearly a talent gap. The Panthers have a new quarterback (Teddy Bridgewater) and a new coach (Matt Rhule). The Falcons are still very talented. It will come down to their defense, as offensively, they are fine. Carolina might still be one of the worst teams in the NFL, so the easy money here is to take the FALCONS (-105).
2020 NFC South Division bets: Who will finish fourth?
- Carolina Panthers -250
- Atlanta Falcons +180
- Tampa Bay Buccaneers +3000
- New Orleans Saints +3500
The Panthers are rebuilding. They added Bridgewater and WR Robby Anderson but there is little chance they pass any of the other three teams in the division. The best bet is to take the PANTHERS (-250).
2020 NFC South Division bets: Exact order of standings
The exact order of the Saints-Bucs-Falcons-Panthers wins you the least amount of money at +240 as the favorite for the exact order. It is, though, the most likely outcome and the best bet. Consider it easy money and more profitable than any of the above wagers.
