No. 2 – Week 3 vs. Atlanta (9/26)

There’s so much at stake in this early clash of hated NFC South Rivals, as it’s one of the lone primetime games the Saints have in 2016. Swirling the 10th Anniversary of the ‘Rebirth’ game, this has all the makings of a big matchup. While Atlanta was able to sweep the Saints in 2014, the black and gold were able to return the favor last season.

Make no mistake about it, these two teams hate each other. You’ll have both teams coming from extensive travel from Week 2, as the Saints come home from New York while the Falcons travel back from Oakland. It’s Matt Ryan versus Drew Brees, Julio Jones versus Delvin Breaux, Nate Stupar facing off against his former squad, and all sorts of other storylines that are certain to come up.

Next: No. 1
