The NFC South is wide open for the Falcons this year, but they still have to go out and win some games to end their current six-year playoff drought. The additions of Kirk Cousins, Matthew Judon, Justin Simmons and Darnell Mooney should help the team get over the hump after three consecutive 7-10 seasons.

With the 2024 NFL season less than a week away, those around the league are making their official predictions. Which analysts are picking the Falcons to win the NFC South? We rounded up 2024 season predictions from FOX Sports, USA TODAY, CBS Sports and NFL.com below:
