The Saints rank 24th on their strength of schedule (SoS) with their opponents at a .490 winning percentage. They'll be tested right out of the gate with Tom Brady and the Bucs coming to town in Week 1, and have three prime time games all before their bye week in Week 6. The Saints also play on Christmas Day, which is going to be a Friday just several days after hosting Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs. Needless to say, it's going to fun watching Drew Brees go head-to-head with a lot of these quarterbacks.
