New Orleans Saints: 5 Bold predictions for the 2018 regular season

There are incredibly high expectations for the New Orleans Saints in 2018. With the season almost here, let’s look at five bold predictions that could happen.

Despite the Eagles being first-time Super Bowl champions, no one seems to be talking about them. Instead, all of the talks have been about teams who almost made it there or are on the rise. One of those teams is the New Orleans Saints, who were only inches away from meeting the Eagles in the NFC Championship Game.

The 2017 campaign was a dynamic year for the Saints. Overall, they improved immensely on both side of the ball and even on special teams as well. Most notable has been their changes on defense and how they became one of the most dominant units in the league after being in the bottom half of the league for some time. They also did a lot of trading, in addition to making wise pickups and signings.

The hope is that 2018 will be a repeat of last season — only better. Maybe this time around they’ll get a lot further than they did last year. Heading into 2018, it’s easy to see why there’s so much hype around the Saints. Even with the setbacks they’ve had, they’re still a strong and confident team.

As far as predictions for the season, it’s hard to pick one that’s going to happen. The team is always adapting so there’s no telling what could go on. However, it’s always fun to try and guess, so these are five bold predictions for the New Orleans Saints in 2018.
