Saints Win Total Prediction 2026

New Orleans Saints Over 7.5 Wins (-110)

Based on current implied probability, the Saints are predicted to finish over 7.5 wins with 55.6% confidence. Given New Orleans’ easy schedule and sustained defensive success from the end of last season, I predict New Orleans finishes Over 7.5 Wins (-110). 

My bullishness for New Orleans begins with the team’s defensive play nearing the end of last season. 

To begin the season, the Saints faced a brutal set of opposing offenses. In the first nine games of the year, New Orleans faced six games against top-nine offenses by DVOA. 

The team allowed 27 points per game over that span and kept only two teams – Arizona and New York (N) – to 20 or fewer points. 

Beginning with Week 10, the schedule softened for the defense. From that point forward, the Saints allowed only 17.5 points per game. 

Underlying metrics back up those performances. New Orleans jumped from 21st in defensive EPA per play and 22nd in defensive success rate to second and first, respectively. 

I point that out because the schedule next year presents a comparably easy schedule of opposing offenses. 

Cumulatively, New Orleans faced the 12th-hardest set of opposing offenses in 2025. Based on last year’s offensive ratings, the unit projects to face the league’s third-easiest set of offenses. 

Even by a two-year blended average of offensive DVOA records, the schedule rates out as the league’s 23rd-hardest. 

One more factor leads me to believe New Orleans could see some positive regression in 2026. 

Last season, the Saints struggled immensely on special teams. At 71.4%, the Saints recorded the lowest field-goal percentage in the NFL. 

Defensively, the team allowed the fourth-highest conversion rate (92.3%). That delta (-20.9%) is the largest in the NFL. 

Additionally, it came while surrendering the fourth-fewest red zone opportunities in the league. Translation: teams consistently hit from long range against the Saints. 

In fact, 53% of opponent field goal makes against New Orleans came from at least 40 yards last year. 

Finally, New Orleans’ offensive record can be viewed with some skepticism. Last year, the Saints lost 54.4 adjusted games to injury on offense. Only nine teams lost more. 

All of those potential improvements lead me to believe this team clears this number at a higher rate than the 52.4% implied probability suggests.
