Let’s start with the New Orleans Saints, who still have an opportunity to win the NFC South.
The Saints are currently tied with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers for first place in the South.
New Orleans will host the Bucs later in the season for a game that could go a long way in deciding who walks away with the division.
Derek Carr is in his first year with the Saints. Carr has had an up-and-down season, but the team feels he has hit his stride over the last month.
Alvin Kamara is the Saints' best weapon. Karma is a threat in both the running and passing game.
The wide receiver core for New Orleans is headlined by one of the best young receivers in football, Chris Olave.
