2018 Saints Season Preview & NFL Futures Lines
Looking for 2018 New Orleans Saints predictions? We’ve got your back. Last season the New Orleans Saints surprised a lot of doubters. Finishing the year with an 11-5 regular season record, the Saints fell short in the playoffs losing to the Vikings in the Divisional Round. This season, the team should be hungrier than ever. The team is one of the most talented in the NFL on both sides of the ball, and returning, 21 starters from 2017.

2018 New Orleans Saints Predictions: Roster Changes
The New Orleans Saints are one of the most well put together teams (on paper) in the NFL to start the 2018 season. New Orleans is returning 21 starters, so their wasn’t much need to make a big splash in free agency this off-season.

The Saints had no issues shopping for more weapons for Drew Brees. New Orleans signed former Bears wide receiver, Cameron Meredith and rookie wide receiver, Tra’Quan Smith.
Signing the two slot wide outs, could be a blessing in disguise, especially if Meredith can return from his knee injury. If so, look for Meredith to make noise early in the season.
Aside from the small additions at wide receiver, the Saints added running back Terrance West. West should be an average fill in for Mark Ingram, as he faces his four game PED use suspension to start the regular season.
With Ingram gone the first four games, West will get valuable minutes with Kamara. The Saints also signed offensive lineman, Jermon Bushrod in free agency.
Bushrod will provide a little depth to an already talented offensive line. Hopefully for the sake of the Saints, none of the starters are going to get hurt, if so this could be a weak link in the New Orleans offense.
2018 New Orleans Saints Predictions: Offense
The New Orleans Saints offense needs no introduction. The team is loaded with talent and it will show again in 2018. Drew Brees will be the captain guiding the ship again this season for the Saints. He completed 72 percent of his passes last season.
Brees will be protected by a talented offensive line (as mentioned earlier), but lack depth on the offensive line this season.

The Saints will return two headed monster, Alvin Kamara and Mark Ingram at running back. Ingram is going to be missed the first four games of the season due to suspension, so Kamara will have to shoulder most of the duties in his absence.
Star wide receiver Michael Thomas is posed to have another huge season. Thomas has quietly emerged as a top five NFL receiver. Look for Thomas to have another huge season this year, along with speedster Ted Ginn Jr. on the outside.
2018 New Orleans Saints Predictions: Defense
The New Orleans defense, comes as one of the more under rated defenses in the NFL this season. Cameron Wake, will lead the Saints defense again this year. Wake and last seasons cornerback rookie sensation Marshon Lattimore, will set the tone for the Saints defense this year.
The Saints are also one of the deepest in the NFL at linebacker this year. Look solid play in the middle of the field from them this season.
2018 New Orleans Saints Handicapping: (Strengths/Weaknesses)
Marshon Lattimore did not disappoint last season at corner for the Saints; but this season he is going to need some help on the other side of the ball.
New Orleans is loaded on offense, and if in shootouts with anyone in the league this season, the Saints will never be out of the game. No matter the score.

Defensively, the secondary has some questions at the number two corner spot. Hopefully Marcus Williams, Vonn Bell and Kurt Coleman can make up for the weakness at the number two corner.
2018 New Orleans Saints Prediction (Final Record): 5-11
The Saints are going to be interesting to watch. Look for New Orleans to be tested throughout the season.
The Saints have one of the hardest schedules (right now) in the NFL. If they can play to expectation, look for another deep playoff run from Drew Brees and the boys in New Orleans.
