The last 3 years I have taken the over. This year I am taking the under.

You're welcome Saints talk.

That's a good number. The saints have to open with 4 tough games. If they go 2-2 the over will cash.

Well if this isn't the bet of the century I don't know what is.


11-5 is the floor

Take the under on Atlanta. Thats easy money.

Im leaning towards the Saints having 9 wins. I would take the over.

If the division didn't look so tough...

I think Saints have addressed some needs this offseason and should improve as a team.

When scheduled was released, I saw 10 wins, so I'll stick with it for now.

Carolina is at 9


i'm interested to see how they'll use McCaffery. Olsen is an aging TE (still damn good though) and Benjamin is sort of a question mark.

their O-line isn't that good.

our defense was really taking it to them in that Thursday night game last year @ Carolina. Had it not been for the special teams frick up I think we win that game.

Come on.. they have 8-8 written all over them.

Tampa is at 8



I'd avoid this one. For years Tampa seems like the team everybody sees potential for whatever reason and then they either fall flat or just turn out mediocre.

yet.. they added DJax and OJ Howard so their offense obviously will get a boost. Doug Martin isn't a threat though. Gotta have some kind of a ground game and none of their RB's command a lot of attention seems like. Their D had its moments last year. Not a great D but not exactly a push over either.. IMO anyway.

CM gonna wreck shite, apparently benjamin is 280lbs in OTAs right now...not good

Olsen's last 3 years:
84/122, 1008, 6
77/123, 1104, 7
80/127, 1073, 3

he's gonna get his

I believe Kamara will be just as effective if not more. They dont have the best Oline and Cam Newton isnt the most accurate QB. Im interested to see both play.

CM is the better player of the two, but Carolina is a weird offense for a back like him

In our offense he'd be ridiculous. Still think he gets 500+ rushing/500+ receiving


Kamara I'll guess 200-300 rushing and 600+ receiving

I know they got Samuel too in the draft but Cam has taken a beating.

he had surgery (shoulder) this off season and that followed up one of (if not the worst) seasons he's ever had.

I'm kind of pissed they got the corner with the best name in the draft though.. Corn Elder

Tampa will probably win the NFC South this year.

This is right around my expectation. I think it's fair, though obviously I think the over is very possible. I felt like last year the under was set way low. 7-9 is pretty much the worst case scenario when you have Brees still playing at a high level.

Too early to tell, but I don't think 9 or 10 wins is out of question for this team.
