Fans can officially begin their positive campaigning for their favorite NFL team. The NFL unveiled every team's schedule last night, including the New Orleans Saints' schedule for the regular season. 

Overall, it is a very palatable schedule for the Saints. Based on winning percentage from last season, it is the second-easiest in the entire NFL. Additionally, the Saints believe that they are a better football team – lead by new quarterback Derek Carr. 

As for their opponents, the opposing quarterbacks on the team's schedule are notable. There's a clear lack of experience and high-end talent when it comes to most of their schedule. The best QB they will play is Jacksonville's Trevor Lawrence, and it isn't particularly close. 

Not to mention, the Saints will face off against three rookie quarterbacks (if they start). Everything is set up for the Saints to truly have a bounce back season and secure the NFC South title once again. 

Their opponents are manageable, and they surely cannot suffer as many important injuries as they did a season ago. Only time will tell, but there's good reason for a bit of sunshine pumping at the moment for the Saints.
