Note: This is a pre-draft analysis on the teams and predictions based on the new schedule release. Moshe Football understands that some of the teams records may seem too high or too low. This is due to the type of quick predictions. Moshe Football will also have after draft predictions, and post pre-season predictions (the main one that will be deeper analyzed and the one Moshe Football will stand by). So if you have any beef, save it for the later predictions.
NFC SOUTH
y-Atlanta Falcons 14-2
New Orleans Saints 9-7
Tampa Bay Buccaneers 7-9
Carolina Panthers 2-14
Z= Conference Champs, Y=Division Champs, X=Playoff Spot
Atlanta Falcons
Moshe Football is predicting the Atlanta Falcons to be the pre-draft predictions' Superbowl winners. Maybe it's because it would be the right justice for Steven Jackson. But this team has only gotten better from last year with a positive off season. While the Seattle Seahawks and San Francisco 49ers are getting all the coverage, it's the Falcons who will be the toughest team in the NFC.
NOTABLE WIN: Week 10 vs Seattle Seahawks - Atlanta will lose to the 49ers and Packers this season, so this game will show their legitimacy.
NOTABLE LOSS: Week 16 at San Francisco 49ers - The 49ers beat the Falcons to represent the NFC in the Superbowl last year.
New Orleans Saints
The Saints finished 7-9 last year. That's while starting the season off horribly and the lack of Sean Payton. So his coaching return should only help the Saints. Still their defense has much needed work and that'll keep them out of the playoffs.
NOTABLE WIN: Week 15 at St. Louis Rams - This win will be one of the Saints most legitimate wins of the season to an otherwise easy schedule.
NOTABLE LOSS: Week 12 at Atlanta Falcons - The Saints will be swept by the Falcons and help an NFC South team win the division two years in a row, something that hasn't happened in a long time.
Tampa Bay Buccaneers
Acquiring Revis from the Jets was a great move, but he won't quite be the same player as he once was. The Bucs have been a solid team the past few years, but they'll have to play superior teams in their division along with the superior teams in NFC West.
NOTABLE WIN: Week 10 vs Miami Dolphins - A very solid win.
NOTABLE LOSS: Week 15 vs San Francisco 49ers - The first loss to finish 0-3 on the season and end with a losing record.
Carolina Panthers
The Panthers will probably win more than two games this season, possibly around seven again. What they need is another weapon besides for Steve Smith and Cam Newton offensively to be the ultimate threat. However, even with a decent defense, their schedule will be too much for them.
NOTABLE WIN: Week 15 vs New York Jets - Beating the lowly Jets isn't too special.
NOTABLE LOSS: Week 5 at Arizona Cardinals - The Panthers will give the Cardinals their only win of the season.
