00:00Regarded by most, the RS I would say is the worst division in the National Football League,
00:07but number one perhaps in our hearts, despite being the eighth and final on win total Tuesday.
00:14But there's a newcomer in the NFC South that is expected to do big things right away in
00:192024. His name, Kirk Cousins, his team, the Atlanta Falcons. They are an odds on favorite
00:25at minus 145 to win the divisional title this year in the NFC South. The Buccaneers have
00:32won the division the last three years, the first two with Tom Brady, albeit with a losing
00:37record in 2022, last year with Baker Mayfield. The preseason favorites a season ago, the
00:43New Orleans Saints came up just shy last year of the Buccaneers, but did finish with a winning
00:49record in the Carolina Panthers have the longest price in this division at 11 to one. The Panthers
00:55had the worst record in the National Football League a season ago at just two and 15. NFC
01:01South, the overview from the mind of Donnie right side. What's your first thought?
01:06I think they're priced appropriately here in Atlanta by far and away is the best team
01:10in this division. I think they have the best quarterback in this division and the defense
01:13got a little bit better here, adding on Simmons as a safety, which going along with Jesse
01:18Bates, the third, a formidable conduct or concept here. And also you're taking a look
01:22at the wide receiver position. Drake London, I think is really going to take that next
01:27step this year. Now we're going to say, Hey, same thing as Justin Jefferson. We're not
01:31buying into that type of hype, but now you have a quarterback that's going to be able
01:34to deliver the football when he's open. That's a big deal. And you say, well, how big a deal
01:38could have been? What did you see? Desmond Ritter throwing the football out there last
01:42year. Did you see Taylor Heineke? No longer. You have an actual pro bowl quarterback. That's
01:46ready to let loose in a division that plays, you know, you should say your home games in
01:50a dome. And also you get that dome appearance there down in new Orleans. I like everything
01:55about this off season outside of, I guess, the new head coaching hire for the Falcons.
02:00But to me, I never bought into the Buccaneers. We'll see what we're going to get out of the
02:05new Orleans Saints. So I thought were the best team in the division last year and came
02:07up playing. We'll see if we get that young quarterback and Bryce young to perform this
02:11year in Carolina. But for me on day number one, player for player, team by team, it's
02:17the Atlanta Falcons that are the best team in this division.
