Saints’ 2014 opponents determined
 
1 Attachment(s)
With the conclusion of the regular season Sunday night, the Saints and each of the other 31 NFL teams know who they will play in 2014.

While dates and kickoff times won’t be finalized until April, as usual, the Saints know who they will face based on a formula that rotates divisions from year to year.

The combined 2013 record of next year’s opponents is 119-135-2 for a winning percentage of .469 with only four games against playoff teams in 2013 (Carolina twice, Green Bay and Cincinnati).

Here is what the Saints schedule (without dates and times) looks like with their 2013 record.

(asterisk indicates playoff team)

HOME: Atlanta (4-12), *Carolina (12-4), Tampa Bay (4-12), *Green Bay (8-7-1), Minnesota (5-10-1), *San Francisco (12-4), Baltimore (8-8), *Cincinnati (11-5).

AWAY: Atlanta (4-12), *Carolina (12-4), Tampa Bay (4-12), Detroit (7-9), Chicago (8-8), Dallas (8-8), Pittsburgh (8-8), Cleveland (4-12).

Saints

Let's hope for Chicago, Cleveland, and Pit early.

As it stands right now, we'd be favored in every game except @Carolina.

Fairly tough home schedule. Easier road schedule. Perfect!

Let's hope for Detroit early also! Remember they are tearing down the metrodome or whatever and the Lions will be playing outdoors at the Univ. of Minnesota's stadium for the next 2 years...

Yep, and Vikes are at the dome.

Are we going to run the ball at least 40% of the time next season?!?

Looking forward to getting a discount double check out of Rogers (even though he's my keeper QB in fantasy football)...

Pittsburgh, Chicago, Cleveland on the road - guess we're going to have to play in it on the road at some point...

Where's does Goodell have the Superbowl next season, Green Bay?!? (Arizona)

You are a little mixed up.
  1. Minnesota Vikings. - Yep the metrodome is being torn down. Vikings home games of 2014 & 2015 are scheduled for the University of Minnesota's TCF Bank Stadium.
  2. Detroit Lions are in the Downtown Ford Field stadium.
  3. Next up (or is that down) Atlanta's Georgia Dome is slated to become a parking lot in 2017 to match the status of their team.

15-1.

Minnesota: Where Scandinavians risked life and limb traveling across dangerous oceans only to settle in the only place on earth just as cold and f’ing miserable as the one they left.

13-3 is my prediction.

All I need is the Packers to play in the Dome during Thanksgiving Week.
My ticket is booked due to pre-nup!

Sometimes being in a mixed marriage has advantages.
And believe me, I have met Packer devotees from all over the globe on Royal Street.

*San Francisco (12-4)
Saints

5 playoff teams
You forgot to count San Francisco

let's beat up on them in the playoffs if we meet, and next year at the dome

no 17 point gifts on turnovers

Re: Saints’ 2014 opponents determined
 
Four playoff teams last year ranked in the bottom six this year (Texans, Vikings, Falcons, Redskins) so you never truly know the strength of a schedule.

Re: Saints’ 2014 opponents determined
 
I already talked about who I think we'll beat. 2015's schedule though is easier.

For next year
Home wins
Ravens
Packers
Vikings
49ers
Bucs
Falcons
Panthers
Home Toss-up
Bengals

Road Losses
Steelers
Bears
Falcons
Bucs
Road Toss-ups
Browns
Panthers
Road wins
Lions
Cowboys

Its Haden, period, that makes me worry about Cleveland. Its also what kind of season the panthers have and the bengals are just one of those teams that can trick you on the road.

I'd like to go to that Dallas game next year. I'd like to see the Jerrydome. But when I mentioned it to the wife, she rolled her eyes. I'll have to wait till later in the year to start dropping hints.
