New Orleans Saints
The New Orleans Saints once again caused chaos in the NFC South by beating the division leading Panthers. With three games left, all they have left to play for is pride and to see just how good rookie QB Tyler Shough can be. So, let’s see how the Saints and their division rivals stack up against the teams with the top 10 Super Bowl odds headed into Week 16 of the season, courtesy of Fanduel Sportsbook:
T-32. New Orleans Saints: ELIMINATED (Last week’s odds: ELIMINATED) (Last week’s ranking: T-32)
1. Los Angeles Rams: +360 (+390) (1)
2. Seattle Seahawks: +750...

“Tyler Shough left the injury tent and got the ball back with 4:37 remaining against the Panthers, down 17-10, and immediately hit on seven of his eight passes, each for 9 yards or more. Shough hit Chris Olave for the game-tying TD, and New Orleans’ defense got a stop. It didn’t feel likely, but Shough did enough to move the Saints from their own 9-yard line into field-goal range for the game-winning kick as time expired. Shough has shown promise in each of his six starts, but the way he finished this one has...

This division makes no sense. The Buccaneers needed to bounce back from their embarrassing loss to the Saints in week 15, but instead of getting the job done, they lost again, this time against the Falcons. Tampa Bay’s defense could not stop Kirk Cousins and the entire Falcons offense, and on the other side of the ball, QB Baker Mayfield still struggled with accuracy. Many of the things that were exposed against the Saints stayed true against the Falcons. After this loss, the Bucs lost first place in the division.
On the other...

In a matchup between teams that are close to the bottom of their respective conference, the 4-10 New Orleans Saints will host the 3-11 New York Jets on Sunday at the Caesars Superdome. Although close in record, the teams could not be entering this weekend’s game under circumstances further in difference.
The Jets head into this contest on the heels of two straight blowout losses against the Miami Dolphins and Jacksonville Jaguars. New Orleans carries a back-to-back win streak into the latter of a two-game home stand. They defeated division foes Tampa Bay Buccaneers and the Carolina Panthers.

This week, the New Orleans Saints host the 3-11 New York Jets in Week 16 of the 2025 NFL season—a game with significant draft-position implications. The player to watch for this matchup filled in seamlessly and impressed after being forced to step up in a depleted backfield: RB Audric Estime.
With Alvin Kamara missing the past three games while nursing a knee injury and Devin Neal exiting Sunday’s matchup against the Carolina Panthers early with a hamstring injury, former Denver Broncos fifth-round draft pick Audric Estime handled the majority of the workload the rest of the game—and delivered when it...

On Sunday, the 4-10 New Orleans Saints will host the 3-11 New York Jets in a battle between teams jockeying for draft order position. While the season may not have gone as either envisioned, one is guaranteed to pick up a victory this weekend.
The Saints are coming off back-to-back wins, both versus NFC South opponents. Last weekend, Kellen Moore’s team earned a comeback 20-17 victory over the visiting Carolina Panthers. New York heads into this game after losing back-to-back contests. Most recently, they fell 48-20 against the Jacksonville Jaguars on the road.
New Orleans currently averages 296.9 yards and...

A top playmaker comes to New Orleans.

Throughout the 2025 NFL season, SB Nation’s Doug Farrar will write about the game’s Secret Superstars — those players whose performances might slip under the radar for whatever reasons. In this installment, we focus on New Orleans Saints rookie quarterback Tyler Shough, who may have shown enough to help the franchise solve a quarterback problem that’s been evident since Drew Brees hung up his cleats.
Coming into the 2025 season, the New Orleans Saints were on a very short list of the teams dealing with the NFL’s worst/most undefined quarterback situations. Derek Carr’s medical retirement in May left the Saints...

It’s Week 16 and the New Orleans Saints are on a 2-game winning streak after defeating the Carolina Panthers in the Superdome on Sunday. Despite their 4-10 record the Saints are the talk of the NFL right with Tyler Shough at the helm. Shough threw for 272 Yards and 1 touchdown, he currently has the most wins by rookie QBs in starts this season and was nominated for NFL Rookie of the Week for his performance against the Panthers.
This Sunday, the Saints will look to continue that run in their final home game of the season against the New...

Now way they make it three in a row… right?

If the New Orleans Saints cannot go to the playoffs this season, then why should anyone else? After defeating the NFC South-leading Tampa Bay Buccaneers in Week 14, Kellen Moore’s group followed that up with a 20-17 come-from-behind win over the Panthers in Week 15’s game that would have resulted in Carolina taking the top spot in the division had the result been reversed. Next up, the Saints will jockey for a true winning streak as they host the New York Jets at the Caesars Superdome.
