Week 3 of the college football landscape has it all: Top 15 matchups, Top 25 matchups, marquee players, coaches, fans, band members, and a ton of firework-filled action on the gridiron. Let’s breakdown which players I’ve and many Saints fans have got eyes on this weekend.

Rueben Bain Jr.

Miami’s star-studded defensive line is led by edge rusher Rueben Bain Jr. The junior member of the Hurricanes is off to a blazing start in 2025 having already earned a sack and a half, a forced fumble, and an interception. In a matchup versus the red-hot USF Bulls this week...

After opening the NFL season with a loss, facing uncertainty at quarterback, roster issues, and an entirely new coaching staff, the odds are against the New Orleans Saints this season. Many expectations right now are for the Saints to be the worst team in the NFL, but this past Sunday, the team showed fight and nearly won the game. There were a good number of positive takeaways from the game, and if the Saints had held the penalty number down a bit, New Orleans probably would have won against the Arizona Cardinals. If most of the games throughout the season...

So, you’re saying there’s a chance…? Prior to the new NFL year beginning, the entirety of the Canal Street Chronicles staff along with numerous other football news outlets and personalities were in agreement that we could chalk up the New Orleans Saints’ Week 2 game versus the San Francisco 49ers as a loss. However, coming out of Sunday with a 1-1 record after a win against the NFC West team doesn’t seem completely out of the realm of possibility.

San Francisco will be without two key members of their starting offense this weekend as quarterback Brock Purdy and tight end...

With the New Orleans Saints’ 2025 outlook not the best compared to previous years, looking ahead at the draft will be essential throughout the season. The next step is seeing what the team needs could be at the end of the season, which is not easy after just one week of football. However, two positions stand out as options the Saints should consider if they select at the top of the draft: edge rusher & Quarterback.

New Orleans has slowly built their defensive line, and it seems in this new scheme, they are finally seeing great performances. Depth is still...

The New Orleans Saints got their 2025 season off to a tough start in Week 1, falling to the Arizona Cardinals.

While the 49ers are dealing with a plethora of injuries, they are a well-coached team. If the Saints want to come out of Week 2 with a .500 record, they’ll have to take advantage of these key matchups.
