The NFC South is still up for grabs.
It has been wide open throughout the season as a division with no elite teams.
The most surprising team in the division is the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. They had the second-worst odds to win the NFC South heading into the season. Many didn't think Baker Mayfield could fill the shoes of Tom Brady or even make the Buccaneers a competitive team.
But with one week left in the season, Tampa Bay is the heavy favorite to win the division at -250 on DraftKings.
The Buccaneers will face the last-place Panthers in the season finale as -250 favorites on the moneyline. Even though they will have the same record as the Saints with a New Orleans win in Week 18, the Buccaneers hold the divisional tiebreaker.
The first divisional tiebreaker is head-to-head record. The Buccaneers and Saints each won one game against each other. The second tiebreaker is divisional record, in which the Buccaneers have a one-game lead on the Saints.
If the Buccaneers lose to the Panthers, it opens up an opportunity for either the Saints or Falcons to win the division.
The Falcons beat the Saints earlier in the season and they are only one game back of the Saints and the Buccaneers. The Falcons would then hold the tiebreaker over the Saints. Atlanta split the season series with Tampa Bay.
The Saints are +350 to win the division on DraftKings while the Falcons are +650.
The Saints are -185 on the moneyline against the Falcons. The Falcons moneyline is +150.
