Each NFL team’s record prediction for the 2019 season
By Dan Parzych
New Orleans Saints: 10-6
By now, one would hope the New Orleans Saints are finally over what took place in the NFC Championship against the Los Angeles Rams. Losing in the playoffs the way they did the year before against the Minnesota Vikings certainly didn’t help.
From a talent perspective, the Saints have been in great position over the last two seasons to be a Super Bowl contender, only to come up short in heartbreaking fashion both times.
Does this mean the third time will finally be the charm for New Orleans? A few key players like Mark Ingram may no longer be around, but the Saints still have plenty of talent to work with to help live up to the hype once again.
Just how tough are things going to be for the Saints? Well, September alone consists of four games against teams that went to the playoffs last season, meaning New Orleans will be heavily tested early on to see where they stand compared to other contenders.
Luckily, Drew Brees continues to play at a high level for New Orleans on offense. He could even find his name in the NFL MVP conversation for a second year in a row if he puts up similar numbers to 2018.
Plus, not only does Brees have one of the league’s most reliable receivers in Michael Thomas to work with at receiver, but also Alvin Kamara continues to show that he’s only going to continue getting better with experience based off his play from the previous two seasons.
