New Orleans Saints Schedule 2021 New Orleans Saints Schedule

Playing in the NFC South continues to be a battle, but the New Orleans Saints are prepared as always. They have the 9th toughest strength of schedule for 2020, but they are often a team who faces a tougher schedule given where they finish year in and year out. Week 1 we get Drew Brees vs Tom Brady right off the bat, and then the Saints will open up with some out of division games. They have a few decent games here where they face the Raiders and Packers both at home. New Orleans will then go on the road and face Detroit before returning home to face the Chargers. The Saints have an early Bye Week this year, sitting at Week 5, meaning they won’t have any sort of chance to rest up later in the season. The Saints schedule begins to get extremely tough after the Bye Week. They do have a winnable game at home against Carolina, but then face Chicago and San Francisco, and both are top ten defenses. They face Tampa Bay in between those games, and then have three straight road games facing Denver, Atlanta, and Philadelphia. This is all before returning home to face Kansas City and Minnesota.
