New Orleans Saints

The New Orleans Saints finished 2025 with a 6-11 record and a minus-77 point differential, a season defined by defensive collapse and offensive inconsistency. After a four-game winning streak in December that briefly suggested a turnaround, the Saints lost their final game to Atlanta on January 4th, dropping to a 17-19 road defeat and ending the year on a sour note. Over the full season, New Orleans scored just 18.0 points per game while surrendering 22.5, a gap that no late-season surge could overcome. The recent form masks the structural problems: the Saints were outscored by 77 points across 17 games, indicating systematic issues on both sides of the ball that a few wins against middling competition did not resolve. As the offseason unfolds in May, bettors should view any preseason optimism with skepticism until the organization addresses its scoring and defensive efficiency. The roster and coaching staff face real pressure to prove the December wins were a sign of progress, not a mirage.
