The New Orleans Saints schedule will not be officially released until the NFL posts it at 7 p.m. Central on Wednesday night, but many game dates and times have already been reported. Here’s everything that we know so far:
- Week 1, Sept. 9: Versus Houston Texans on Monday Night Football. The Saints haven’t played the Texans in the regulars season since 2015, when they were stomped 24-6 in Houston. This is a great spot to deliver some payback.
- Week 2, Sept. 15: At Los Angeles Rams in afternoon slot. Traveling to the West Coast on a short week isn’t ideal, but the Saints have to like getting such an early opportunity to put last season’s ugly finish behind them.
- Week 3, Sept. 22: At Seattle Seahawks in afternoon slot. This will be a tough one; the Seahawks play hard at home, and the Saints will be making back-to-back trips to the West Coast to face them. This one really could go either way.
