1. The Saints make it to Super Bowl LIII

It’s hard to believe how abruptly the Saints 2017 season ended. They were so close to advancing to the NFC Championship but lost on a blown coverage. As sad as it is to think about, it’s over now. Thankfully, there’s the promise of the 2018 season to look forward to.

With the Saints being as close as they were last year, this prediction isn’t really that bold. However, it’s something fans have been hoping for. The team’s offense and defense are on similar, if not the same level. Their focus might have shifted a bit, but it’s for the better.

Since the addition of Kamara, the offense focuses more on the run game but it’s produced stellar results. As for the defense, they’re focusing on the younger guys, making them a powerful sleeper. Looking at 2018, all the pieces are in place for the Saints to make it to the Super Bowl.
