Alex PropStarz is not sprinting to the window but would play the Saints over 4.5 wins if forced. He stressed their third-easiest schedule: only Buffalo, Los Angeles and Tampa Bay reached double-digit wins last season among their opponents, and he calls the NFC South the league’s weakest division. PropStarz expects Kellen Moore’s motion-heavy offense to squeeze competent play out of a shaky QB room and believes an average defense bolstered by Justin Reid can steal a couple of games. His projection lands in the 5–6 win range, enough for a small lean to the over.

Alex PropStarz agreed the Kamara rushing line is laughably low. He noted Kellen Moore has "gushed" all offseason about making Kamara the offense’s focal point, and backup Kendri Miller poses no real threat to early-down touches. New Orleans’ front five features four former first-rounders, including consecutive top-15 picks Banks Jr. and Fuaga, which he believes elevates run efficiency. Kamara cruised past 900 yards in 2024 while battling injuries; PropStarz projects a similar workload that gets him to 900-plus again, calling the posted 750 number "at least 150 yards too shy."
