Eagles, Cowboys or 49ers Winning NFC? Bold Prediction Says Otherwise

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."

The American Cornhole League is hosting their fifth annual Superhole event, with the qualifying round of the tournament taking place in New Orleans. Not only is it in the city, Saints starters Derek Carr and Juwan Johnson are participating as well. The incentive for victory starts with a $100,000 cash prize for winning it all.

Johnson and Carr aren’t partners, however. Each will be paired with an ACL pro and will compete against other NFL players. Johnson, paired with Frank Modlin, looks to take down Eric Kendricks. Meanwhile Carr, paired with Trevor Kuhfuss, looks to defeat former Saints...

Possible players the Saints could trade on draft night

Not having a third or fourth round pick increases the odds of the New Orleans Saints trading up in this year’s NFL Draft. The Saints do not like to sit and wait till a player drops to them, and this year should not be any different. They could use their copious amounts of day three picks to trade up, but there is another way to acquire earlier picks. On draft night, we have seen some trades over the years that include players for picks, but not too many. I wanted to see what players could be traded away from the Saints and what they would get in return.

Although this might not be the most...

Miguez’s Mock Draft 2.0: The Saints Drafted WHO?!

The NFL Draft is just one week away and we’re getting closer and closer to talking about who the New Orleans Saints will actually draft instead of speculation.

However, until that time, the speculation will continue. So here comes another mock draft, but this one has some surprises in it.

I don’t even know how this happened.

This will almost NEVER happen, but Jayden Daniels wearing the Black and Gold would be a ton of fun. Pairing him with an elusive back like AK and pass catchers like Chris Olave, Rashid Shaheed, AT Perry, and more would elevate him to a new level very early in his...

Pro Football Network released rankings of the easiest schedules in the NFL. The New Orleans Saints were near the top of the list again for the 2024 season.

The Tigers’ defensive lineman dealt with injuries through a large portion of his college career but has the potential for a lot of success at the next level.

Everyone has been focused on the offensive line with New Orleans, but what about their defensive front? When should they look to address that need?

ESPN suggests Saints package Trevor Penning in a trade for his replacement

There’s a real possibility the New Orleans Saints could call it quits on the Trevor Penning experiment. If they can find a better left tackle in the 2024 NFL draft, it’s worth moving him to guard or right tackle to play the better player — and it just might be worth moving him to a new team altogether if it means they can go get that better left tackle.

That’s the scenario offered by ESPN’s Bill Barnwell, who drew up trades for every team picking in the first round of this year’s draft. If there’s a possibility the Saints could package Penning in a deal to move up and get this year’s top...

B/R: Saints' inactivity hurts their offseason grade heading into the draft

Bleacher Report scouting department has graded the offseason for each NFL team. Kris Knox evaluated the NFC teams while his constituent Alex Ballentine evaluated the AFC. Free agency obviously plays a big part, but salary cap management, preparation for the 2024 draft and general team direction all play a part in forming the team’s grade.

The New Orleans Saints haven’t been overly active in free agency. The biggest move they made was bringing in Chase Young on a prove it contract. That likely brings down their grade, but they have managed the cap well this offseason. The rest of the...
