New Orleans Saints 2020 schedule predictions: Picking every game
The New Orleans Saints are one of the favorites to win the Super Bowl in 2020, but what will their regular-season record be?
The NFC was a beast in 2019, but few teams were more difficult to beat than the New Orleans Saints. Their 13-3 record was tied for the best in the conference but the Saints ended up as the no. 3 seed on tiebreakers, losing in the Wild Card round to the Minnesota Vikings.
What will New Orleans do for an encore in 2020 as they look to make the Super Bowl for the first time since 2009? Let’s take a game-by-game look at the Saints’ 2020 schedule.
Weeks 1-5
15. Final. 24. 48. 28
The matchups between Drew Brees and Tom Brady figure to be thrillers, with this one going down to the wire. The Saints make just enough plays to topple the Buccaneers, winning 28-24.
28. 15. 20. 28. Final
The Saints come marching into Las Vegas and leave with a 28-20 victory over the Raiders. Brees continues his mastery of the AFC West by tossing three touchdown passes to lead New Orleans to a big win in Sin City.
15. Final. 31. 49. 35
This is the first of two huge contests with playoff stakes to take place in New Orleans this season. Brees outguns Aaron Rodgers as the Saints topple the Packers 35-31.
50. Final. 34. 15. 13
This is a massive mismatch in terms of talent and it plays out that way at Ford Field. New Orleans controls the clock from the jump and dominates Detroit in a 34-13 blowout.
17. 13. 31. 15. Final
The Chargers’ roster is more talented than people give it credit for, but presumed starter Tyrod Taylor is ill-equipped to win a shootout with Brees. The Saints pick up a big win over the organization that originally drafted Brees back in 2001.
