Predicting every NFC South game

Last season, the NFC South was the laughingstock of the NFL. Can they shed that perception in 2015? Greg Bedard has picked every single game of the NFL regular season, and below are his predictions for the NFC East.

A year ago, the NFC South was the laughingstock of the NFL. The Panthers won the division with a 7-8-1 record (yet backed it up with a wild-card win against the hobbled Cardinals), and the Buccaneers walked away with the No. 1 draft pick. After active off-seasons all around—a new coach in Atlanta, a shaken-up wide receiver corps in Carolina, a blockbuster trade in New Orleans and the arrival of a potential franchise quarterback in Tampa Bay—which team will rise to the top of a division known for its parity?

Greg Bedard has picked every single game of the NFL regular season, and below are his predictions for the NFC South.
