The New Orleans Saints need a bounce back campaign in 2023. No, they don't just want it. If head coach Dennis Allen and offensive coordinator Pete Carmichael Jr. want to stick around, they have to show legit improvement upon last season. They caught bad breaks, but the outcome simply was not good enough. 

Luckily for them, they've caught a massive break for this season. 

On paper, their schedule is the easiest in the NFL – according to Pro Football Focus. PFF also projects 10.3 wins for the Saints. That would most likely result in an NFC division title and a solid seed in the NFC side of the playoffs. 

Easiest game: Week 12 vs. Atlanta Falcons
Hardest game: Week 9 vs. Chicago Bears The Saints went 2-0 against the Falcons in 2022 and might do so again this season. With Derek Carr leading the offense, New Orleans could take hold of the weak NFC South. — PFF

If that season comes to fruition for New Orleans, they're move to make Derek Carr their starting quarterback. They have the talent to make this scenario happen. We'll see if they pull it off.
