New Orleans Saints 2026 Predictions

Where we have them finishing

• Nick: 4-13
• Nico: 4-13
• Brooklyn: 5-12

Why

The 26 year old Rookie QB showed some flash's last season as there seemed to be no light at the end of the tunnel for saints fans. Their O line still has a lot of questions, as well as their defense, but I think this offense with adding Tyson will be fun to watch when he comes back healthy
— Nick, 4-13

Tough to trust Shough after an impressive but short season last year. Defense has "swiss cheese" written all over it, and I think they are only here to create chaos in a disappointing NFC South.
— Nico, 4-13

The Saints went 6-11 last year, scoring just 18.0 PPG, but Tyler Shough gives me some reason to believe in a small jump. After taking over, New Orleans averaged 19.8 PPG and 343.4 YPG, compared to just 13.9 PPG before him. The schedule gives them plenty of winnable games, but I’m not buying a massive leap yet. 6-11.
— Brooklyn, 5-12
