NFC South Odds
How to Bet on Odds to Win the NFC South
Futures bets are wagers placed on events that will happen at some point later in the season, not a single game or performance. These are bets on a more significant outcome that have yet to be decided.
Futures odds are typically available before and during the season, but the odds are constantly in flux. They change based on what’s happening in and around the sport, including team performances, roster changes, injuries, etc.
How to Read NFC South Odds
You can change your odds format at most NFL betting sites depending on your preference.
As the name suggests, American odds are commonly used in the U.S., giving you a triple-digit or higher number with either a minus or plus sign.
The whole American odds (or moneyline odds) system is based on betting $100.
The numbers next to a minus sign (-) tell you how much you must bet to win $100. The plus symbol (+) beside the numbers tells you how much you can win by betting $100.
The negative sign indicates the favourite, while the plus sign points to the underdog.
NFC South Teams
Atlanta Falcons
For better or worse, the Falcons have been defined by near misses. They’ve appeared in two Super Bowls, the most recent coming against the Patriots. They famously (or infamously) gave up a 28-3 lead, eventually losing in the first overtime Super Bowl ever. Still, Atlanta boasts a strong fan base, developed in the early 2000s with QB Michael Vick.
Carolina Panthers
The Panthers were founded as an expansion team and played their first game in 1995. They found early success, reaching the NFC title game in their second season and making their first Super Bowl appearance in 2003-04. The Panthers, led by league MVP Cam Newton, reached Super Bowl 50 but lost to the Broncos.
New Orleans Saints
The Saints spent decades as lovable underdogs (nicknamed the "Aints" by fans during long losing stretches) before a massive turnaround under head coach Sean Payton and quarterback Drew Brees. Their most significant moment came with a victory in Super Bowl XLIV, symbolizing resilience for both the franchise and the city after Hurricane Katrina. Brees made the Saints into consistent NFC contenders before retiring.
Tampa Bay Buccaneers
Despite a rough start as a franchise, the Bucs finally found success in the early 2000s, winning Super Bowl XXXVII behind a staunch defense. Tampa Bay won the “Tom Brady sweepstakes” when the MVP quarterback became a free agent for the first time. After a long playoff drought, Brady led the Buccaneers to a Super Bowl victory, the first ever at a team’s home stadium.
