NFC South Betting Preview: Do Buccaneers Win Division Title This Time Around?
Tampa Bay is -200 to take the division
Last year, the NFC South was viewed as one of the NFL’s most competitive divisions.
Since then, however, Drew Brees has retired, Julio Jones has been traded, and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers are defending Super Bowl Champions. Things look much different this year.
The Bucs have impressively retained just about everyone around quarterback Tom Brady, and look poised to repeat their conference title, if not the Super Bowl.
Maybe this time they’ll add an NFC South division title to the mix, too. They’re the favorite.

BEST BET
Kyle Pitts to win Offensive Rookie of the Year (+1000): The Falcons traded away a player you literally cannot replace in Julio Jones. They still have Calvin Ridley first on the receiving depth chart, but you can imagine the highly touted tight end out of Florida will be used to fill some of that void. Every $100 wagered will see a return of $1,000, so we like this bet over the odds of a rookie quarterback entering the league and lighting it on fire.
