NFC South NFL Picks & Predictions Against the Point Spread

The wild and crazy NFC South

If you’re making NFL picks this fall, know that the NFC South is up for grabs. There are a few divisions where certain teams have a stranglehold and some where the title shifts hands every few years. Those making NFL picks on the NFC South shouldn’t pencil in any winner just yet.

It might seem like the Saints have the fast track to another playoff appearance, but that’s not necessarily true. They still have major questions on defense, and that could spell trouble. The Saints are getting older, and we shouldn’t forget just how hard it is for teams to sustain high-level success.

So who might challenge them? Don’t overlook Atlanta with your NFL picks. The Falcons have been good under coach Smith and quarterback Matt Ryan is entering his prime. They can run the ball, throw it around the yard, and they figure to have a good defense, too. Atlanta is a scary team heading into 2010 and they could take the crown from New Orleans. With a still formidable Carolina team and an improving Tampa Bay team thrown into the mix, expect this division to be a tough one to call going into next year.
