They will have a harder schedule in 2020.

Besides the mandatory two divisional games per team with the Buccaneers, Panthers, and Falcons, the Saints are also set to play the Green Bay Packers, Minnesota Vikings, Kansas City Chiefs, Philadelphia Eagles, and San Francisco 49ers.

All five of those teams were playoffs teams last year and the Vikings were the team that knocked the Saints out of the playoffs. To put that into perspective, the Saints only played three playoff teams last year — Seahawks, Titans, and 49ers.

The other teams that they play non-divisional have the potential to be pretty good teams. They play the Las Vegas Raiders, Los Angeles Chargers, Chicago Bears, and the Denver Broncos. It could be a long season for Saints’ fans.
