New Orleans Saints will face second-toughest schedule in 2013 based on 2012 records
Even though the New Orleans Saints will play a third-place schedule in 2013 with their 7-9 record from 2012, the Saints are tied for the second-most difficult schedule according to winning percentage in the NFL next season, according to NFL.com.
The Saints are tied with the Rams and the Lions as the 2012 winning percentage of the teams all three franchises will face in 2013 sits at .539. The Carolina Panthers will face the hardest schedule in the NFL next season when using the 2012 winning percentages as the basis with their opponents, holding a .543 winning percentage. New Orleans will face all of its NFC South division foes twice -- Atlanta, Carolina, Tampa Bay -- and host home games against Arizona, San Francisco, Dallas, Buffalo and Miami along with road games at St. Louis, Seattle, Chicago, New England and the New York Jets.

SOS changes so much from game to game. The Falcons had one of the tougher schedules entering 2012 based on 2011 results, but ended up with the easiest schedule based on 2012 results.
Grain of salt guys. |

I think they want us to go to Seattle and Chicago in December due to the defenses. First half predictions(weeks 1-8) Buffalo New England New York Jets Tampa Bay Carolina Atlanta Arizona Mid Point(9-10) St.Louis Atlanta Second half(11-17) Miami Tampa Bay Carolina Dallas Chicago San Francisco Seattle In first half TB is due for a win against us believe it or not, we are due for one against Carolina, and usually our first games against Atlanta are at home prior to week 10. So I'd say 2-1 there, bills and jets we should beat thats 4-1. Arizona as well makes it 5-1 with New England being a tossup as it really could go either way. If Rodgers is better than Brady, considering that GB has an even better defense we should be able to hang tough with them like the packers. On paper its a loss At mid point, I feel we should beat the rams since we lost last meeting and know to take them serious this time. And lets say we split with falcons again 6-3, assuming we go to Atlanta week 10. In second half, I think at this point is when a team like Miami begins to unravel I say we win thats 7-3. The second games against Carolina and Tampa Bay will have opposite results 8-4. Then the tougher ones and all are tough but SF is asking for us to win the most, 9-4. It is important to at least win one of Chicago, Dallas, Seattle, and New England. Dallas is at home but I just think of the last time we played them in the dome and it wasnt pretty. We wouldnt want to play them if they are down thats for sure. |
