NFC South on Display on Monday Night
The NFC South often gets over shadowed by its more rough-and-tumble cousin to the North, but in terms of Monday Night Football betting competition the NFC East has little over the NFC South this season. And when the Saints (6-0) host the Falcons (4-2) in Monday Night Football betting two of the best teams in football will be on display.
According to the numbers the Monday Night Football odds matchup will feature the winningest 1-2 combo in any division in the NFL. With a collective record of 10-3 the winning percentage between the Saints and the Falcons is the best of any of the top two teams in any division.
And it’s no coincidence, the Saints are likely the best team in the NFL and the Falcons are among the top three in the NFC.
For this reason alone, this Monday Night football odds contest should be the best of the year so far.
Both of these teams are solid in all three phases of the game. Everyone knows about the offense of these two teams led by superb QBs surrounded by talented skill players. But the real story to their collective success has been their defense.
Normally weak on this side of the ball, both teams’ defensive units have been re-made in the offense and are now among the league’s best. Atlanta did some free agent shopping and the Saints upgraded their coordinator. Both moves seem to have resulted in huge improvements.
It’s quite some time since the NFC South was talked about as one of the stronger divisions and if you don’t believe just tune in the Monday Night football betting contest this week and see for yourself.
