New Orleans Saints Odds to Win Super Bowl LVIII
One of the more interesting fits on this year's quarterback carousel is Derek Carr heading to the New Orleans Saints. The Saints are trying to rebuild the plane while it's in the air, but given how weak the NFC South looks this year, it could work.
While Andy Dalton performed admirably in 2022, bringing in Derek Carr and retaining Michael Thomas while adding running back Kendre Miller in the draft should take the offense to newer heights in 2023.
New Orleans Saints NFL Betting Odds
To Win Super Bowl LVIII: +4000
To Win NFC Conference: +1600
To Win NFC South Division: +133
NFL Regular Season Wins: 9.5 (Over: +106, Under: -126)
The Saints will get a true home opener for the first time since the 2019 season, as no fans were allowed at the 2020 home opener due to COVID-19 restrictions, and the 2021 opener against the Green Bay Packers was moved to Jacksonville due to Hurricane Ida.
That means fans won't have to wait long to see new quarterback Derek Carr and the potential return of star wide receiver Michael Thomas. After rehabbing a toe injury, Thomas has played in only four regular season games at home since the beginning of the 2020 season.
The Saints will play in three prime-time games this season against the Carolina Panthers, Jacksonville Jaguars, and Los Angeles Rams, the same number they got in the 2022 season (they went 0-3 in those games last season). With no international game, they'll also get an earlier bye in Week 11.
New Orleans Saints Schedule & Results
Founded in 1967 as an expansion team, the New Orleans Saints have a colorful history of ineptitude and glory.
In the initial years of the franchise, the Saints could not find their way. New Orleans did not post a winning record until the 1987 season. Those two decades of losing featured one of the most popular players in franchise history.
Quarterback Archie Manning remains a legend to this day. Manning was a star on some really bad teams, and Saints fans never stopped appreciating his efforts against hopeless odds.
Jim Mora was the head coach of the first serious iteration of the Saints. Mora led the franchise to its first four playoff berths. New Orleans was a serious contender for the first time in franchise history in the Mora era that ran from 1986 through 1995.
Sean Payton took over the team in 2006 and led the Saints to their most successful period in team history. From 2006 through 2020, the Saints made the NFL Playoffs nine times. New Orleans won the 2009-10 season Super Bowl. That was the only title in franchise history.
Payton was the head coach during the infamous Bountygate scandal and was suspended for an entire season. But by the time he retired, all of that was forgotten. Payton partnered with quarterback Drew Brees for one of the NFL’s most prolific offenses. Both coach and quarterback are likely Hall of Fame-bound, Gayle Benson, the widow of deceased legendary owner Tom Benson, remains the team's owner. John Mecom Jr. was the original owner that put colorful but losing teams on the field.
