My attempt at an unbiased prediction of the schedule: Rushed this a bit being at work
WASHINGTON REDSKINS - Really like this as game one. With all the distractions it will be nice to settle in with a team with a rookie QB and is not a serious threat. The Dome will be absolutely insane as well. W 1-0
at Carolina Panthers - I honestly feel that Cam Newton will regress this season, maybe not as bad as Freeman did, but still feel it will happen. This is a team that is on the rise, but also a team that isn't there yet. Carolina as usual plays the Saints tough, but can't quite hang. W 2-0
KANSAS CITY CHIEFS - Sub-par opponent number 3 to close out a good start to a schedule. If this were in KC I'd consider it a trap game, but it's in the dome, where this year may be the loudest it has ever been. Potential blowout. W 3-0
at Green Bay Packers- This will be the first true test, and will be a big matchup with both likely being undefeated at the time. Green bay has one of the easiest schedules, but had this game circled. Close game, but GB gets the win in a nail-biter. L 3-1
SAN DIEGO CHARGERS- Prime time game, electric crowd, and a record to break. The Saints come out with a huge chip on their shoulder to prove to the national audience they are still a top contender. Brees and Sproles wreck havoc on their former team, and San Diego leaves embarassed. W 4-1
BYE WEEK Much to the disbelief of the media who counted the team out, they are left somewhat shocked at how this team is sitting so high.
at Tampa Bay Buccaneers- Coming off the bye week the team is rested and hungry. Remembering the loss at Tampa last year the Saints come out fired up in this one to get the win. W 5-1
at Denver Broncos- This game will garner much media buzz. Prime time games in Denver are exciting. Peyton, I believe, will look more like the old Peyton, but the defenses keep the game close. Comes down to a fieldgoal, and Denver gets the win L 5-2
PHILADELPHIA EAGLES 3rd prime time game of the season. Vick is beaten up, and this will be the new Saints Defense' coming out party. Bounce back. dominant game. W 6-2
ATLANTA - What is supposed to be a rivarly game ends up singing the same old song. Saints own the Falcons, and have for some time. Falcons fans weep once again, and we laugh in their faces W 7-2
at Oakland Raiders - Traveling out west is always a pretty tough game. Coming off an emotional game against the Falcons the Saints hit their yearly "lose to a team they shouldn't" game and fall short. L 7-3
SAN FRANCISCO 49ERS - This is the game I have marked off as the one I am most excited for. A lot is being made about the 49ers wanting revenge because of the Williams tape, but it will be trumped by the Saints seeking revenge for the playoff loss even more so. There will be serious, serious payback. W 8-3
at Atlanta Falcons - Hate this game, of all teams, to be played on a short week. The Saints will be somewhat drained from the 49ers revenge game and The Falcons steal this one in a close game. L 8-4
at New York Giants - With weather not getting too out of hand, the Saints bounce back. This team has had the Giants number, and I don't see that stopping. W 9-4
TAMPA BAY BUCCANEERS- It's the start of crunch time, and with a nice string of games to finish with. A dominant performance takes place, and the Saints sweep the Bucs W 10-4
at Dallas Cowboys Same story, different season. Pressure will be on the Cowboys, and as usual, they will choke. The Cowboys, I feel, will have an improvement on last year, but are caught sleeping for this game. Jerry Jones has a near stroke as this game makes winning their division even more difficult in a close race. W 11-4
CAROLINA PANTHERS- Closing out the season with a familiar foe. The fight for the number 1 seed is still up for grabs, and the team comes out swinging to close out the season. The game plays out very similar to last years closer, with a furious offensive performance. However, they needed a GB loss and a W to clinch the #1 seed. GB wins, but the Saints grab a 1st round bye and 2nd seed. W 12-4

Nice assessment but one I do not believe will take place is the Denver game. I do not think PM will be his old self at all. His neck injury will make him more timid and not the PM we have become to know. 13-3 Maybe even the @ Atlanta but the time factor will hurt the Saints.

No way I'm gonna be shown up by this newbie.
Here's my prediction.
Oh, and I'm gonna bookmark this thread for when the regular season rolls around.
I'm a little less optimistic, I guess.
WASHINGTON REDSKINS – W - If we don’t win this game, we’re in bad shape. W 1-0
at CAROLINA PANTHERS – W – Tough game against a divisional opponent on the rise, but we pull out a hard-earned win. W 2-0
KANSAS CITY CHIEFS – L – This should be a win, but we lose in typical Saints fashion to a lesser team. Losing Vitt hurts, as well. L 2-1
at GREEN BAY PACKERS - W - I’m predicting a win down to the wire here. The Saints are gonna be throwing everything they have at this team. W 3-1
SAN DIEGO CHARGERS - W - “Prime time game, electric crowd, and a record to break.” Coco’s right. This will be absolute rape. W 4-1
BYE
at TAMPA BAY BUCCANEERS - W — Moderately difficult win away. W 5-1
at DENVER BRONCOS - L — Vitt's return will cause a bit of a shake up that the team won’t be able to manage right away. Peyton Manning takes the win. L 5-2
PHILADELPHIA EAGLES — W — Vick sucks. W 6-2
ATLANTA – W - There’s no losing to the Falcons in the dome. W 7-2
at OAKLAND RAIDERS – W — By now, we’re settled in with all the coaching changes. We win comfortably against a much weaker opponent. W 7-3
SAN FRANCISCO 49ERS – L — I wish I could see us winning this game, but I don’t. Same great coach. Same excellent Defense. New angry, vengeful attitude. L 7-4
at ATLANTA FALCONS – L — The team might as well prepare for this painful loss. A short week, then a trip to Atlanta to play our biggest rivals (probably after already beating them once). L 7-5
at NEW YORK GIANTS – W — I think now we get our ducks in a row. We took two losses in a row. Everyone is counting us out. This is when we start getting hot. Giants get demolished. W 8-5
TAMPA BAY BUCCANEERS - W— I agree that it’s crunch time. The Bucs will hardly be a speedbump. W 9-5
at DALLAS COWBOYS – W - It’s the Cowboys. W 10-5
CAROLINA PANTHERS — W - Cam loses his nerve playing against a team that served up him already. We enter the playoffs white hot. W 11-5
