We're only two weeks away from the first real football game of the 2016 season. Time for some bold predictions for the upcoming football season:
1. The Saints will make the playoffs
After a two-year drought, the New Orleans Saints are on the upswing. Two consecutive solid drafts have increased the depth and athleticism of their much-maligned defense. The secondary is drastically improved and the offense will be more explosive than at any time since 2011. That said, this team has little margin for error. The Saints lack depth along both lines and will need to stay healthy in the trenches to make a run.
