Our schedule from the BYE week to the Bears could be brutal. Luckily we'll have the BYE to get ready for that run.

I'm not going to lie I think we split first two road games. If we beat Atlanta we will face a challenge with Cleveland coming off that big win. If not, we will take that much more seriously.

I see it this way after 1-1 start
Vikes-W
@Cowboys-W
Bucs-W
@Lions-W(off bye helps)
Packers-W(our place)
@Panthers-W(see their games before us)
49ers-W(will be close again)
Bengals-Toss-up
Ravens-W
@Steelers-L
Panthers-W
@Bears-Toss-up
Falcons-W
@Bucs-L

I see three losses but two tossups one is hosting bengals and ravens from same division back to back. I could see Cincinatti as one of the trap games, but if we're one loss at that point who knows and bengals are definitely regressing. Then there's the bears. Bears will also be at home two straight weeks and have 10 days rest. At worst 10-6, realistically 11-5. December is another tough month.

I'm planning on being home either Thanksgiving or Christmas... I'm making one of those game!

I'm, going 13-3. We've played Chicago 4 times now in their stadium in cold weather and only once in our place which we won. We need to show the NFL that we can win on the road and in cold weather. No better time than now.

It looks like Roger did his best to hinder us by giving us late season cold away games. This year we will dispel another myth about Saints football. Our power running game should be rolling by then.

We win 11-13 games this year. And one of those losses will come from resting our starters in week 17. H F A baby!! (HFA = Super Bowl.)
