Let's see now. When we left off last season, the Saints were 7-9 and had missed the playoffs for three years in a row. Experts are now saying that the Saints have a pretty important  season coming up and it just may determine a lot of things about the future of the franchise.

Saints fans will love the fact that their team is kicking off Monday Night Football next season with a match-up against the Vikings. the following week, our Saints will have a "must see" game when Drew Brees and Tom Brady will battle it out with the defending Super Bowl champs, the Patriots.

Week 4 will see the Saints across the pond in Wembley Stadium where they'll take on the Dolphins. You'll have to get up early to see that match-up since the broadcast is from London, the game will be at 8:30 a.m. on October 1st.
