2. Michael Thomas will win NFL MVP

Michael Thomas put on a spectacular performance last season but due to Lamar Jackson, Thomas was overshadowed. Heading in the 2020 season, it seems like Thomas is going to be on people’s radars and, hopefully, that will end up with him being named MVP. It’s a stretch but stranger things have happened.

Last season, Thomas broke the single-season record for most receptions, and already, he looks to be on a similar path. With Drew Brees healthy, things are all working in Thomas’ favor. It feels like the NFL is Thomas’ world and we’re all just living in it.

If 2020 is going to be a big year for the New Orleans Saints, then it’s going to be even bigger for Thomas. Since signing his contract, Thomas has been a superstar and heading into the second year of the contract, there’s no way he won’t at least be considered for MVP.

1. The New Orleans Saints will win Super Bowl 55

The last bold prediction is that the New Orleans Saints will win Super Bowl 55. We were hoping the team would be in the Super Bowl last year but things weren’t meant to be. Heading into the 2020 season, the Saints have all of the makings of a Super Bowl team. The offense and the defense are both at the top of their games aside from a few mistakes that can easily be ironed out.

Ultimately, the Saints have to prove to both the fans and themselves that they won’t let the playoffs bog them down. The team goes great up until the playoffs and they fall apart. If they can figure out a better strategy and make those key changes, then the Saints will be in the Super Bowl come February. They have the makings of a Super Bowl-caliber team and it’s time they finally make their way there.
