What's everyone's predictions?
1. New Orleans Saints - 12-4
They will trot out the #4 scoring offense and the #10 scoring defense from last year. Brees will put up another monster year and further cement his legacy as the greatest QB that will ever play in this division. Defense could be taking another step forward with Davenport (though a gamble) and Lattimore is the best corner to come out in the last 3 years.
2. Atlanta Falcons - 10-6
Though their offense took a major step back, they still managed to rank in the top half of the league. And, their defense was a Top-10 unit. I think if anything, they might see a noticeable bump in offensive productions under Sarkisian's 2nd season. Adding Ridley give this offense the chance to be lethal.
3. Carolina Panthers - 7-9
I think their offense takes a big step back under Turner's first year. Simply put, Cam is not a great QB. One could make an argument that he's the worst in the division (behind Winston). I can see that offense falling into the bottom half of the league, and their defense not being able to hold up over the course of the season.
4. Tampa Bay Buccaneers - 6-10
Starting QB missing the hardest 3 game stretch of the schedule is not quite the way you want to begin your season. Tough schedule, erratic and inconsistent QB play, questions on the O-Line, an unproven defense, all mixed with off-the-field distractions usually don't equate to success. 2018 will be the last year in Tampa for Licht, Koetter, and Winston.
