This might be the week the NFC South bounces back.

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.

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.

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...

      Bryce’s new look. He looks like a grown up

      By ForJimmy · Posted

      I honestly just don’t think Canales was ready to handle all that goes into being a HC plus play calling (something he was still new to and not great at yet). Idzik will be brand new to it but that’s one of the main things he can focus on plus having a seasoned vet like Bevell should go a long way if they listen to him.  I think a big issue with Bryce will be the locker room seems to have really bought into him. However he plays he seems to have a good head on his shoulder and does well in a leadership role. If they do decide to replace him it will be an interesting thing for them to navigate. I’d assume most players know it’s just business and want to win above everything else.

      Vrabel and Russini? Athletic investigating.

      Vrabel and Russini? Athletic investigating.

      By TylerDurden · Posted

      Idk man…  this feels very targeted and measured.  I think one of them pissed someone off connected to some powerful media types and the person they pissed off had been sitting on this trove of evidence for awhile.  Now they start to leak it in intervals where everytime it seems it has lost steam - BAM!  Right back on the front page.  My instinct would say it was Russini, but she’s already been fired.  So, I think it’s someone who has an issue with Vrabel.  Whoever took those pics knew it was Vrabel, and even if they knew it wasn’t Russini, they knew it wasn’t Vrabel’s fault wife, and yet, they sat in them for 5 years?  And to go a step further, that last observation is a bit naive, because there are even people coming out now that are saying they knew Russini was sleeping with multiple coaches before all of this broke, so they knew.  I think this is about Vrabel. hmmm…  I wonder if this is Glazer bucking bc they set up that competing pool party?
