The New Orleans Saints have been hot since beating Seattle and, in Week 6, are arguably the best team in the NFC. Here are three bold predictions vs. the Jags.
When the New Orleans Saints lost Drew Brees, it felt like the world was crumbling. At least, most of the fans thought that. However, the team has rallied together and shown why they’re one of the best in the NFC, if not the league. If anything, losing Brees has caused the team to step it up even more and it’s been incredible to watch.
Some may argue but it feels like the Saints are a completely different team than the one who faced off against the Cowboys. Against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, the Saints put on a show, especially Michael Thomas. Thomas wasn’t the only one who stepped up though as the Saints defense continued to be dominant and Teddy Bridgewater has shown some slow, steady improvement.
While their record might be better with Brees, the Saints aren’t tanking. Heading into week 6, the Saints have a chance to fully take control of the NFC as they face off against the Jacksonville Jaguars. The Jaguars are one of the messiest teams in the NFL right now, espeically with their star cornerback Jalen Ramsey wanting a trade, losing Nick Foles and gaining Gardner Minshew.
The Jaguars aren’t anywhere near the Saints level so it should be an easy win. If not, then the Saints have been lying to us for weeks. Just kidding, but the Saints have a chance at going 5-1 if they can get the win against Jacksonville. Heading into that game, here are three bold predictions for the New Orleans Saints.
