Saints: 4 reasonable expectations for Jameis Winston in 2021

The Saints’ quarterback will lead the team to another playoff berth.

The Saints have been a part of the NFC playoffs for the last couple of years at the very least. In fact, they have been a top-four seed in the NFC after winning the NFC South for the last four years in a row, even last year when the Buccaneers won the Super Bowl.

I’m not saying that I expect the Saints to win the NFC South, but I do expect them to have such a good record that they will lead off the Wild Card portion of the NFC. I looked before at projected every Saints’ game this season and had them winning 9 or 10 games.
