Full NFC South 2016 Preview

Week Fifteen
Tampa Bay Buccaneers at Dallas Cowboys
It’s week fifteen which means Tony Romo has returned, and left again with another injury. You feel bad for Romo. As much flack as the guy gets, he was always a good quarterback with a lot of unnecessary criticism. The time has come, however, for Romo to hang it up before it’s too late. Ezekial Elliott is going to get his but it won’t be enough to carry the team. The Buccaneers defense will feast on Dak Prescott just like Jameis Winston will feast on the Cowboys’ poor secondary. Winston will find Mike Evans for a pair of scores as the Bucs win easily inside “Jerry’s World”
Buccaneers 24 Cowboys 13
New Orleans Saints at Arizona Cardinals
The Saints defense returns to the form we all thought we would see out of them, yielding big play after big play to the Cards. Palmer lights it up, hitting five different players for scores as the Cardinals continue to maintain their top position in the NFC West. The Saints are still in the postseason conversation, but need a big bounce bag after this embarrassment.
Cardinals 38 Saints 20
San Francisco 49ers at Atlanta Falcons
The Atlanta offense is beginning to click as Matt Ryan starts to look like the Matt Ryan of old. His recent regression has been a bit of a head scratcher, but he shows that he can still be the same guy he was a few years ago. The 49ers offer no answers to Ryan or Freeman as Atlanta puts on a show for their fans.
Falcons 27 49ers 10
Carolina Panthers at Washington Redskins (MNF)
The Redskins are who many of us thought they were – overrated. Kirk Cousins has been brought back down to earth this season and the ‘Skins pose no threat to the New York Giants, who will already have the division wrapped up. Cam and co. embarrass the home team on national television, keeping them in the driver’s seat of the NFC South.
Panthers 31 Redskins 14
