This might be the week the NFC South bounces back.

[hepcat]

Last week, 3 out of the 4 teams in the NFC South faced tough road games against teams contending for playoff spots.  And all of them lost.

 

Falcons @ Ravens

Saints @ Lions

Panthers @ Packers

(Tampa on a bye)

 

This week, all 4 NFC South teams are at home.  

 

Lions @ Falcons

Packers @ Saints

Seahawks @ Panthers

Vikings @ Bucs

 

It's no secret the Falcons and Saints play much better at home in their domes.  I expect the Saints to give the Packers all they can handle and might squeak out a win.   The Falcons/Lions matchup has potential to be a shootout and might be close to over/under 80 points.  The Panthers get the Seahawks making their second consecutive cross-country trip and playing what amounts to a 10am game for them.  After losing at home to the Seahawks the past two seasons, I think this might be the year the Panthers finally beat them.  And Tampa gets a winnable game at home against the struggling Vikings who've lost three straight. 

 

The NFC South might be the worst division in the NFL right now, but I think this might be the week they show some life and bounce back.

Saints will get smoked by GB.

 

Detroit's pass rush will eat Matt Ryan alive.

 

Bucs and Vikes are two terrible teams, so Bucs might have a chance.

 

I would love nothing more than another 1-3 NFCS week, with Carolina being the only victor.

 

I don't care what others think about the division.

hell mothafugin no

 

Falcons are in London and Detroits front 7 will kill Matt Ryan

Taints Defense is balls... their corners are especially horrible, Rodgers will eat them alive

Bucs are poo... but the vikings aren't great either

Panthers... eh

Falcons are "technically" the home team, but they're in London.

 

I think the Lions smoke them.

Falcons ain't at home there in London

[TheRumGone]

lol falcons in london

[hepcat]

I sure hope not and I for one don't think the saints stand a chance vs the packers home or not.

 

I'm taking off my homer glasses for this.  If Jimmy Graham is anything close to healthy, he's going to have a big game.  Olsen had 8 catches on 8 targets for 105 yards against the Packers.  The Saints would be wise to feed Graham over the middle and take advantage of the Packers weakness in covering the TE.

poo you're right, lol.  There are two London games this year?

[Ruff]

The saints have 6 home games left... Wtf.

[Doc Holiday]

This is game 8 for the Panthers, if we can manage a W that would be great because the final 8 games will be much easier by comparison to our first 8 games.

[bigdog10]

Falcons will lose in London

Bucs will lose to the vikes

Saints will beat the packers

That's how I see it anyway.

truly, anything can happen any week in the modern NFL. there are very few "gimme" games. while i think its possible that the NFC south goes 4-0 this week, i highly doubt it. The Saints and Bucs have the best chance at winning their games. I dont think Atlanta will pull out a win against that stiff Detroit defense. and our beloved Panthers face a much better Seattle team that is just as desperate as we are. it wouldnt surprise me at all if Tampa is the only NFC South team to win this week... of course, it wouldnt surprise me at all if Tampa loses to the lowly Vikings either...

[Your GFs favorite huddler]

I don't understand anyone wanting ANYONE else in our division to win ecspecially with how we're playing and how close this race may become.....I will NEVER pull for any of the other 3 teams ecspecially the Saints! NEVER

[Darth Biscuit]

Maybe the Falcons won't even play... I think they missed the geography lesson...
