New Orleans Saints, NFC South, NFL, NFL Predictions, Player Controversy

Reggie Bush may not have been the once-in-a-generation type of player New Orleans wanted but he still played a big part in bring the city its first Super Bowl title. Saints’ fans won’t be crying too much over Bush’s departure as they managed to keep hold of a more prized asset. Lance Moore, one of Drew Brees’ most dependable targets, has re-signed with New Orleans.

The Saints found an able replacement for Bush in the draft in the form of Mark Ingram. The Heisman Trophy winner was the second of the Saints’ selections in the first round. Cameron Jordan went ahead of him, as the #24 overall pick. The defensive end out of California should have an immediate impact. The defensive line was further strengthened with the addition of seventh round pick Greg Romeus out of Pittsburgh.

Boom! The NFL season kicks off with the Saints travelling to Green Bay in a battle between the last two Super Bowl champions. That’s followed immediately by a home test against the Bears before the Saints face a run of four straight games against teams that missed the playoffs last season. The Colts hit the Big Easy in Week 7 and the Saints head into the bye with a home game against the Bucs and a road trip to face the Falcons.

The last six weeks are tailor made for a playoff run with only one game against a team that made the post-season in 2010. The Saints will be wary however of visits from the Giants and Lions in weeks 12 and 13.

The verdict These are not the Saints that beat the Colts in the Super Bowl but they still remain a force to be feared in the NFC. After last season’s disappointing finish in Seattle, New Orleans will be keen to make a quick return to playoff Football. NFL betting fans can expect the Saints to exploit their relatively soft schedule by making another trip to the playoff but I don’t like them to top Atlanta in the NFC South. If the Saints are to go marching to another Super Bowl, they will have to go the wild card route to get their.
