Saints have a surprisingly low projected 2021 win total

Saints schedule next year is brutal. Play SuperBowl Champs twice the AFC and NFC champioship game finalist. Seahawks, Titans and an up and coming dolphins team.

If any coach can get a team to play beyond expectations its Payton. In 2018, 19 and 20 Saints were projected to win 9, 10 and 10 games respectively. Its the postseason i worry about. Im hoping and praying this is the year N.O gets it done.

Yeah there aren't many games that look like gimmes as of right now. The AFC East could be a problem. The Jets are going to have a new look, the Bills are really good now, and the Dolphins could see a massive infusion of young talent with all their picks. If Cam is starting for the Patriots when we play them then I like our chances.

Even with all of the talent we've lost all over the field the foundation is still strong. If Jameis can be serviceable we should be a tough out. If he's good, well, who knows. This is the challenge that SP has been waiting for. You know he's been thinking about life after Brees the past few years. He knows what it's going to take to win games without Drew. I have no doubt he'll be ready.
