Number Three: Strength of Schedule

The New Orleans Saints have a very difficult schedule in 2020 even though they appear on paper to have the easiest 16 games in the division. Drew Brees is set to face multiple future Hall of Fame signal-callers this season including Tom Brady, Aaron Rodgers, Matt Ryan and Patrick Mahomes.

The team is also set to face some great defenses including the Khalil Mack-led Bears, the Von Miller-led Broncos, and the always feisty Philadelphia Eagles defense.

The Saints will have to earn their division title this season as the Tampa Bay Bucs completely turned their franchise around with the additions of Tom Brady, Rob Gronkowski, and Joe Haeg.

The Atlanta Falcons put in some offseason work with the additions of Todd Gurley, Dante Fowler Jr, and Hayden Hurst.
