Based on last year, the Saints have the 28th most difficult strength of schedule. Have to keep in mind that we automatically get to start the season w/ 6 games against opponents w/ losing records. Then you add Tenn & Jax, and it automatically gives a huge reduction in "strength".
I also do not think the road schedule is overly brutal. @ARI & @INDY will be ridiculous games. But the others (PHIL, CAR, ATL, TB, WAS & HOU) are all very winnable games.
The only home games that will be a challenge are DAL, NYG & DET. But all 3 of those teams are bipolar and can go from being one of the best teams in the league one week to one of the worst the next.
I excluded the division rivals bc of all of the unknown factors (new HC, new coordinators, new QB...). I think TB steps up overall, but still finishes last w/ 5 wins and I think we sweep them. I see us splitting w/ ATL & CAR for an overall 4-2 record in the division.

Agreed. Does anyone know how our schedule ranks in difficulty? If i were to guess I'd say top 15 most difficult at least maybe top 10. Road games are brutal.
We have a great schedule. No back to back road games, no cold weather games, no Sunday-Thursday road game, no bye week opponents
Last years schedule was fricking brutal and I said it before the year
