FWIW, they predicted the Falcons to go 11-5, the Panthers to go 8-8 and the Bucs to go 6-10.

New Orleans Saints
The New Orleans Saints hope to overcome back-to-back crushing losses over the last two campaigns—the Minnesota Miracle in 2017 and a missed pass-interference call last year. The NFC South champions will also square off against much-improved rivals.
Bruce Arians accepted the head coaching position with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. In his five seasons as Arizona's head coach, his team was top-six in scoring twice.
Assuming the Falcons have better luck with injuries, they'll pose a tougher threat in NFC South. And if Cam Newton is healthy, the Panthers should be dangerous as well.
We could see quarterback Drew Brees take a step backward. Although he led the league with a 74.4 percent completion rate in 2018, the 40-year-old signal-caller threw seven touchdowns and five interceptions in his last six outings (playoffs included). We'll find out if that's a blip or the beginning of a trend.
Brees doesn't have a clear-cut No. 2 option at wideout, and he'll rely on tight end Jared Cook to serve as a solid receiving option in his age-32 term. Running back Latavius Murray has to find his groove in a new backfield.
New Orleans will play six clubs that had top-10 scoring defenses last season. The Saints should reach the postseason, but they won't look like the dominant 2018 squad that started 10-1.
2018 Results: 13-3
Prediction: 10-6

How exactly did the falcons improve? Are they getting Kyle Shanahan back to fix their offense?

Well, off the top of my head, wasn't their defense decimated by injuries last season? I mean that should help them significantly.

If we go 10-6 it will be a very disappointing season!

They also made several moves to bolster their O-line. On paper, they made the right moves, but now Ryan will have 0 excuses.

It all depends on Drew's arm. If it's fine 11-12 wins, if not look for an 8-9 win season.

Couple new guys for Davenport and Cam to throw around.
Seriously though, with their defensive guys coming back and barring another spate of injuries, I would expect these two games to return to their former nail-biting down to the last play recent history

Sid, Bruce is the HC for the Bucs.

It depends on the health of the O-line.

(Bleacher Report) - that says it all.

I’d be pleased with 10-6. Fans expecting another 13-3 season are blinded. We got really lucky with injuries last year and we normally haven’t.
We’d have to get extremely lucky again in order to reach that mark again
