From 2014-16, the New Orleans Saints stumbled through a three-year stretch of back-to-back-to-back 7-9 seasons, and the Sean Payton/Drew Brees Era looked to have reached its competitive end.

The Saints, however, have followed up with 11-5 and 13-3 division-winning campaigns, and they opened April 28 as clear 2019 NFC South favorites with a 10½-win total – two more than any of their division rivals – at the Westgate Las Vegas SuperBook.

Still, Brees is now 40, and the Saints will be attempting to bounce back from a second consecutive crushing postseason loss – one which has spurred a major pass-interference/replay rules change.

NFC South: Predicted win totals

(Odds from Westgate Las Vegas SuperBook)

Atlanta Falcons (Apr. 28 open: 8½ wins -110 over, -110 under; July 15: 8½ -130, +110)Carolina Panthers (Open: 8 Even, -120; July 15: 7½ -140, +120)New Orleans Saints (Open: 10½ -110, -110; July 15: 10½ +110, -130)Tampa Bay Buccaneers (Open: 6½ Even, -120; July 15: 6½ Even, -120)

The most notable move here has been the Panthers’ total dropping a half-win to 7½ – much due to the skepticism about QB Cam Newton’s surgically-repaired shoulder. Meanwhile, wagering on the Falcons and Saints has been trending in different directions with bettors siding with the Atlanta over and the New Orleans under. Finally, the Bucs’ opening total of 6½ looks to have been a solid one, as there has been no movement in either direction over the last 2½ months.

Top Over recommendation

Betting on a bounce-back season for the Falcons is very tempting, but we’ll side with the Panthers and count on them at least getting back to .500 after a 7-9 finish a year ago. Almost lost in that finish is that Carolina was 6-2 at midseason before stumbling through a 1-7 second half as Newton’s shoulder woes intensified. We’ll bank on a healthier Cam and a climb back to .500 and beyond.

The Saints are an option, but we’ll go with the Bucs. Tampa Bay is coming off back-to-back 5-11 seasons and, while new head coach Bruce Arians should benefit quarterback Jameis Winston and the offense, the Tampa Bay D remains a major question mark after surrendering the second-most points (464) in the league and cut ties with veteran stalwart Gerald McCoy over the offseason.
