Ooooh Kaaay...I guess.
5-3 at home if matched on the road translates into 10-11 wins which is playoff worthy.
To your point, we should want and expect the Saints to do better than 5-3 at home. Holding serve at home is a prerequisite for having expectations of a winning season.
The Saints schedule for this season includes 9 home games and 8 road games.
I think it will be imperative for the Saints to win no less than 6 of those home games, with 7 or more being more favorable, in order to get into the playoffs.
And yes, the Saints should be a better home team in the Dome than just OK. Hopefully this year they defend that Turf like it's Tom Benson’s lawn. 🤣
