Well, well, well, here we are again. Last year, for my record predictions, I was actually pretty close. Even with Spencer Rattler at QB, a whole new coaching staff, and everything else new in New Orleans, I had the Saints going 7-10, only one game off of their actual final record of 6-11.

This year I hope my predictions are a close again as it put the Saints in a good position with a winning record to make the playoffs for the first time since the 2020 season.

Week 1: Saints at Lions- Loss

Week 2: Saints at Ravens- Loss

Week 3: Saints vs. Raiders- Win

Week 4: Saints vs. Falcons- Win

Week 5: Saints vs. Vikings- Win

Week 6: Saints at Giants- Win

Week 7: Saints vs. Steelers (Paris)- Win

Week 8:BYE WEEK

Week 9: Saints vs. Browns- Win

Week 10: Saints vs. Panthers- Win

Week 11: Saints at Bears- Loss

Week 12: Saints at Bengals- Win

Week 13: Saints vs Packers- Loss

Week 14: Saints at Panthers- Loss

Week 15: Saints at Bucs- Loss

Week 16: Saints vs. Cardinals- Win

Week 17: Saints at Falcons- Loss

Week 18: Saints vs. Bucs- Win

Final Prediction: 10-7

10 wins is not much of an increase from my prediction last season, but it would be a massive step forward for the Saints. The schedule is, as of now, pretty favorable for the Saints, and if the team improves, they should be able to finish with a better record and earn a trip to the postseason. I could also easily see the win total at 9, but I'll stay put at 10.
