Previewing The Betting Odds For The Saints 2021 Season

• The New Orleans Saints have +3000 odds to win the Super Bowl in 2022.

NEW ORLEANS - The New Orleans Saints won their division but lost to their divisional rivals in the playoffs last season. Will they be able to recover without Drew Brees?

New Orleans Saints 2020 Recap

The story of the New Orleans Saints in 2020 was Drew Brees’s last ride. The Brees era in The Big Easy is now over, and they’ll have to move forward without him.

The new QB of the Saints is Jameis Winston, who got laser eye surgery, which hopefully will prevent him from throwing 30 interceptions in a season for the second time in his career.

New Orleans Saints Offseason Additions

• DE Payton Turner
• LB Pete Werner
• CB Paulson Adebo
• QB Ian Book
• FB Alex Armah
• WR Jalen McCleskey
• G Christian Montano
• DE Tanoh Kpassagnon

In the absence of Brees, the Saints looked to bolster the defense, especially in the draft. They took three defensive players in the first three rounds of the draft, at all levels of the defense - a DE, an LB and a CB.

One notable absence from the Saints in 2021 could be WR Michael Thomas, who is getting surgery for an injury that could have him out until Week 12.
