Don't look now but our schedule, as of today, looks ripe for a 10-6 season.
Brees is out for a minimum of 6 weeks, and will likely have a 3-5 type of record at best when/if he returns.
Newton isn't Newton anymore. Unless he flips a switch they look like a .500 ball club at best.
The Falcons are a mystery, but if our defense continues to play well and doesn't regress, we should be the better overall team.
On paper, the toughest games we have are @LA Rams, and @Seattle. I hope we can win at least 1, but we will see.
Outside of those games, we have the Cardinals, Lions, Texans, Colts, Jags, and Titans. None of those games are necessarily gimmes... but if we are worth a damn, we should at least win 4 out of the 6.
My prediction:
Giants (W)
Saints (W / L)
Falcons (L / W)
Panthers (W)
Rams (L)
Seahawks (L)
Jags (W)
Colts (W)
Texans (L)
Titans (W)
Lions (W)
Cardinals (W)
10-6 and NFC South Champs!
