On May 15th we finally found out the Saints 2024 schedule. We'd known the opponents for a while now, but now we know when our Saints will be playing each of them and can thus begin the speculation - or "predictions" and analysis - on how the timing of the matchups versus the various opponents will ultimately affect the Saints chances of finding enough wins to get back to the playoffs. We all agree that the Saints will have ZERO room for a slow start, as their first 5 games include 4 games versus playoff teams from last year, including a MNF matchup against the reigning champs in Arrowhead.
We debate whether the late bye week is a good or bad thing and also talk about the stark contrast between the quality of the opposing QB's the Saints will face this coming season compared to those faced last season. Both sides of the ball will certainly have their work cut out for them: Defense slowing down some seasoned vets at the position and the offense needing to potentially score often to keep up,.
Finally, we run through each game and all three of us give our way-too-early W/L, rapid-fire prediction. By design, these will more than likely change and will be revisited when we record our Season Preview Episode come late August/early September. How different are our outlooks this year than they were this time last year? Needless to say, it's less wins predicted - but by how much?
LISTEN IN! WHO DAT?!
