While seedings are important and the Philadelphia Eagles should be the favorite to be the top one in the NFC to most people, one NFL.com writer thinks it'll be a team that comes out of nowhere to get it instead.

By David Harrison

What if the Philadelphia Eagles don't get the No. 1 seed in the NFC this coming season?

It wouldn't be a disaster, but most Eagles fans would be lying if they said they wouldn't be at least a little disappointed.

So then, which team would take the top spot if not Philadelphia? The San Francisco 49ers?

The Dallas Cowboys? Not even them.

According to NFL.com, it would be the winner of the NFC's weakest division from a season ago - the New Orleans Saints of the NFC South.

"On paper, the Eagles, 49ers and Cowboys are better than the Saints," NFL.com writes. "New Orleans has a spectacularly favorable schedule. That's what happens when you play in the NFC South and get to play the AFC South. Look at the sked: 13-4 feels viable for the Saints."

Take a drive around Los Angeles and you’ll probably spot a bold statement from USC megadonor Brian Kennedy (whose name headlines the Trojans’ practice field), who purchased a dozen billboards demanding the NCAA return the Heisman Trophy taken from legendary running back Reggie Bush in the wake of a recruiting scandal within the Trojans’ organization. The former New Orleans Saints star remains the only player in the history of the award to give up his Heisman Trophy, having been the subject of an investigation into improper recruiting benefits in college.

But everything Bush was accused of...

The revamped XFL has ambitions of becoming a real developmental spring league for NFL prospects who need more reps, so it has to be encouraging for them to see players like Jack Heflin get an opportunity with the New Orleans Saints.

What pre-draft scouting reports said about Saints' A.T. Perry

A lot of NFL experts thought the New Orleans Saints landed a steal in A.T. Perry, swooping in to pick the big-bodied Wake Forest receiver in the sixth round of the 2023 draft — take a look around and you’ll see many rankings had him graded as a third- or fourth-round pick. Ask Perry and he’ll tell you he isn’t sure why he fell below expectations on draft day, but he’s landed in a great spot to succeed. Just ask Marques Colston, who has more in common with Perry than you’d expect.

But why was Perry so highly regarded before the draft? What can he add to the receiving corps that they’ve...

METAIRIE – Demario Davis says “adversity can be the best thing to happen to a person.”

Jameis Winston hopes to prove him right.

The New Orleans Saints teammates spoke separately to reporters earlier this week and their conversations intersected inadvertently yet poignantly. Davis’ perspective on life and football seemed especially pertinent when Winston spoke a little more than an hour after he did.

Davis, the elder statesman linebacker who perennially is the team’s leading tackler, followed head coach Dennis Allen to the banner inside the team’s indoor practice facility to speak after...

Expectations are high for the New Orleans Saints offense after they brought in Derek Carr to answer their questions at quarterback, but how will his presence change their fantasy football outlook? The hope is that Carr will elevate a supporting cast with several promising young weapons, but how high can they climb?

ESPN’s Field Yates shared his list of the 100 best fantasy football picks going into 2023, and two Saints standouts made the cut: running back Alvin Kamara (No. 44) and wide receiver Chris Olave (No. 54).

A well-traveled Milwaukee native, Greer played college football at Tennessee and started his pro career as an undrafted free agent with the Buffalo Bills, but rose to prominence with New Orleans after signing a lucrative free agent contract in 2009.
