While fans await for that game, it’s a chance to take a look at how the rest of the season will play out. Here is a look at how the next four games of their second half will play out.
Week 10, vs Denver Broncos
The Saints offense has been great all season long. The Seattle Seahawks kept them in check in Week 8, though. Still, they didn’t exactly shut them down. Denver’s secondary is a bit better than the ‘Hawks. Also, the Broncos struggling offense gets to face an awful defense. A tough loss for the Saints here.
Prediction: Broncos 34, Saints 28
Week 11, at Carolina Panthers
The Saints and Panthers always play in shootouts. Though the Panthers have put on a pair of convincing wins the last two weeks, Cam Newton hasn’t played anywhere close to the 2015 MVP we saw. Take Brees in a shootout.
Prediction: Saints 31, Panthers 27
Week 12, vs. Los Angeles Rams
This is a trap game for the Saints, who were embarrassed on the road by the Rams (when they were in St. Louis,) during the 2011 and 2013 seasons. But the Rams offense is a mess and it makes us overlook that dangerous front-seven.
Prediction: Saints 30, Rams 16
Week 13, vs. Detroit Lions
The Lions are sitting at 5-4 as they go into their bye week. They’ve won the last two games against the Saints. But Brees is a better quarterback than Matthew Stafford. He should pull this one out.
Prediction: Saints 34, Lions 20
