Diving Pick’s Review: Bucs to Repeat as Champions?

New Orleans Saints (win total 9)

With Winston just named starting QB, he will help and lead this team through tough challenges. I don’t think they get over double-digit wins. But this will be a different year without Brees and will not be the norm for the Saints. Having Michael Thomas out for almost half the year also will hurt this team.

Best Bet: Under 9 wins, I don’t see this team winning too much this year based on the new QB and without their star for half the year.

Atlanta Falcons (win total 7.5)

This Falcons team might be a bit weird without Julio, but adding TE, Kyle Pitts is a great addition to have. Matt Ryan will be leading the charge, but I don’t think this team is built to be winning any games past 7.5. They don’t have a number one wideout, and Mike Davis isn’t the answer. They will win games against the Jets, Jags, Philly, and Detroit. For a fantasy pick, take Pitts. I believe he will be a stud for them and cause havoc on offense.

Best bet: under 7.5 wins

Carolina Panthers (win total 7.5)

I am a firm believer in Sam Darnold, the Jets really didn’t help him, and with him being in a new system and with better weapons, sign me up! This Carolina team isn’t a contender, but they are definitely heading in the right direction. They also get their halfback back from being injured last year. I bet Sam Darnold will show the Jets that he is the player that they drafted in Week 1. Carolina will be a solid team but a lower-end team in the league.

Best bet: Under 7.5 wins, they will win games, thinking around 5-6 games this year

Tampa Bay Buccaneers (win total 11.5)

Do I even need to say anything? Tom Brady AKA, the G.O.A.T . Never bet against Tom. This Bucs team will dominate this division and will be looking to go back-to-back Super Bowls. They will have some tough opponents this year including, the Bills, Washington with that defense, Rams, and will see a Belichick vs Brady matchup this year. They will win a lot of games, look for the Super Bowl Champs to get back into the playoffs.

Best Bet: Over 11.5, with how the division is, they will win at least 5 division games this year. Then add the Eagles, Giants, Jets, and Cowboys.
