New Orleans Saints 2026 Win Total 8.5: Over or Under?

👉 Create a free Data Streak account: https://thedatastreak.com/videos?utm_source=youtube&utm_medium=desc&utm_campaign=nfl_preds_26 Eight and a half wins is the line for New Orleans. The schedule breaks down to eight wins with a clear path to nine. I like the over. Tyler Shough started to come on late last year. He looks ready to take the next step. The front office gave him help too. Jordan Tyson should have a strong rookie season, and pairing him with Chris Olave gives Shuck a legitimate one-two punch on the outside. Jawan Johnson is one of the more underrated pass-catching tight ends in the league. Travis Etienne was a smart pickup. He brings youth to a backfield that still has Alvin Kamara, who is getting older but remains effective. David Edwards was added to help an offensive line that needed bodies. The losses are manageable. Brandon Cooks was traded away and he is past his prime. Rasheed Shahed went to Seattle. That one stings a bit since he was extremely consistent and one of the best in the league at bet receptions. But the receiver room is still solid. Justin Reed and Cameron Jordan anchor the defense. Cam is up there in age but provides veteran leadership. Can the Saints get to nine wins? Easily. The schedule sets up well. Over 7.5 at -120 on DraftKings is the value side if you want a cushion.
