The 2022 NFL season is only one month away, which is why we have already analyzed pretty much every aspect of futures betting. The ultimate goal for all 32 teams, of course, is to lift the Lombardi Trophy. However, for now it's time to break things down division by division – in this case the NFC South. This follows our previews for all 32 NFL teams.
Until Tom Brady left the New England Patriots for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, the New Orleans Saints enjoyed a three-year stretch of domination (2017-2019) in which they were largely untroubled in the NFC South. The Saints triumphed again in 2020, although the Bucs earned a wild-card spot and went on to win the Super Bowl (winning at New Orleans in the process). With the tide continuing to turn in 2021, Tampa Bay easily ended New Orleans' four-year reign atop the division. As for the Atlanta Falcons and Carolina Panthers, they have largely been innocent bystanders over the past half-decade. That is expected to be the case again in 2022.
