IMO the Saints will finish at least 2 games better than what Vegas predicts!

The Seattle Seahawks and Green Bay Packers are projected to be the best teams in the NFL this year, at least according to Sportsbook.ag.

With preseason games beginning this weekend, the Seahawks and Packers each have an over/under win total of 11.0, just ahead of the New England Patriots (10.5), Indianapolis Colts (10.5), and Denver Broncos (10.5). No team won more than 12 games last season.

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers are projected to be the most improved team with an over/under of 6.0 wins, which would be a four-win improvement over last year's 2-14 season. The New York Jets and Tennessee Titans are also projected to be much improved. Meanwhile, several teams are expected to take big steps back in 2015, including the Dallas Cowboys (9.5), Arizona Cardinals (8.5), Detroit Lions (8.5), and Pittsburgh Steelers (8.5).

Here's how many games Vegas thinks your favorite NFL team will win this season

I have my doubts we can beat last years record of 7-9.

With any decent defense, Drew Brees and the Saints could never go below 9-7.

I am guardedly optimistic about the 2015 season.

I believe the Saints will finish with at least 10 wins, win the division and will win at least 1 playoff game.

It is more what Vegas thinks will generate somewhat balance betting, not how many wins Vegas thinks a team will win.

beware the Bucs- they lost 8 games by 6 points or less
add in the last place schedule and less than stellar division, and they could easily win 8

Especially if their learn how to deflate the balls like the Patriots.

The teams they barely lost to were a struggling rams week 2, CarolinaX2, usx2, Cleveland, Cincinatti(who was on their third straight road game after going to NO and Houston), and Minnesota.

They have the titans and jaguars at home, but have to go to Indy and Houston. I don't think Jameis is ready for Mr.Watt. They have a small chance at a 2 game improvement against the AFC from last year though Tennessee is good early on defense against what TB does best(unless they start running it well) and Jacksonville has just had their number over the years. In fact Jacksonville's 3-0 against them in the last 12 years.

And to go with their 0-4 against NFC North last year(and the two years before that), here comes the giants and cowboys, and back to back, I might add, coming to their place followed by a trip to Philadelphia. And as for last place schedule, I think they can beat Chicago but it depends what St.Louis is doing by then. It's a short rest game.

I'm going to go out on a limb here and say 10 6.

So we finished 7-9 last year with a brutal schedule, with 4 or 5 losses in the final few seconds due to a pathetic secondary.

And 7-9 somehow seems likely again? WTF are you smoking?

I'm 100% convinced that 9 wins is an absolute minimum, and 10-12 wins is likely, and 13 to 14 wins isn't out of the question at all.
