Framing the 2025 season as a success for the Saints would be a stretch, but there’s a lot more to like than would meet the eye. First-year head coach Kellen Moore laid a solid foundation for his offense, and the Saints’ defense reached the top half of the league in DVOA under coordinator Brandon Staley.

Some early trends are emerging in postseason 2026 mock drafts. Eight players emerged as consensus top-10 picks, which is good news for the Saints.

The NFL season continues in Week 18 when the Atlanta Falcons host the New Orleans Saints on Sunday. Start time, how to watch, stream and NFL TV schedule.

The New Orleans Saints end the 2025 season with six wins. At 6-11, they pick No. 8 overall in the 2026 NFL Draft.

It's based off 2025 records, but the New Orleans Saints have the NFL's second-easiest strength of schedule in 2026. They could turn around in a hurry.

It certainly sounds like the New Orleans Saints are gearing up for a big offseason ahead. Right now, the Saints' salary cap situation doesn't look great on pap

Atlanta is 8-7-1 against the spread, while New Orleans is 8-8. The Falcons are 8-8 to the Over, while the Saints are 11-5 to the Under. Atlanta won 24-10 when these teams met in New Orleans in late November. The Falcons have covered three straight and have gone Over in four of their last five, while the Saints have covered five straight.

Drafting Jeremiyah Love would immediately make him one of the NFL's 10 highest-paid running backs. But one way or another, the Saints need fresh legs.
