Saints Playoff Picture: Can the Saints Make the Playoffs?
Yes, the Saints have a shot at the playoffs, technically, everyone does before the 2025 season kicks off. But after a disappointing 5-12 finish in 2024 and an offseason full of turmoil, New Orleans faces an uphill battle. With a new coach and a new QB, a postseason push seems doubtful. Oddsmakers have their postseason chances at just 10.5%, and they’ll need a fast start to change that outlook.
New Orleans Saints 2025 Schedule and Betting Lines
For the first time in 25 years, the Saints won't appear in a primetime game, a sign of how far expectations have fallen. They’ll open the season at home against the Arizona Cardinals and start the year with back-to-back games in the Superdome. Interestingly, their first three matchups are all against NFC West opponents, giving New Orleans an early chance to make a statement outside the division.

Where Can I Bet on the Saints to Make the Playoffs?
For local Saints fans, sports betting is legal in Louisiana. You can bet on the New Orleans Saints to make the playoffs with most major sportsbooks, including Caesars Sportsbook, FanDuel Louisiana, DraftKings, and BetMGM. Odds will vary across the different sports betting sites, with the most profitable odds for the Saints to make the playoffs varying.
Because Louisiana sports betting is legal, bettors can place wagers on the Saints to make the playoffs at both brick-and-mortar sportsbooks and via mobile sports betting apps.
Do the Saints Have a Chance to Make the Playoffs?
Yes, the Saints can make the playoffs in 2025. Everyone gets a clean slate before Week 1. While New Orleans has the second-longest playoff odds in the league, those numbers can shift as the roster takes shape and games are played. But the path won’t be easy, with several tough matchups against playoff-caliber opponents, the Saints will need early-season wins and must take care of business in the NFC South to stay in the hunt.
Are the Saints Out of Playoffs?
No, the Saints are not out of the playoffs, no team is eliminated before Week 1. Still, expectations are low. At -1600 odds to miss the postseason, New Orleans has a 94.1% chance of falling short again in 2025, according to DraftKings. The new coaching staff brings uncertainty, but it also offers a clean slate and a chance to reshape the team’s identity. Like most rebuilding teams, the Saints’ hopes rest on solidifying the quarterback position.
Where Do the New Orleans Saints Rank in the NFC Standings?
The Saints have the longest odds to win the NFC South at +2000, reflecting how far they have to climb in 2025. While the NFC South has been one of the weaker divisions in recent years, it’s starting to gain some respect thanks to improved rosters and more competitive play across the board.
Tampa Bay remains the team to beat, as they aim to take the division title for a fifth straight season. That leaves New Orleans as a clear underdog, with a new coaching staff and a roster in transition.
Where Do the New Orleans Saints Rank in the NFC Wild Card Race?
The Saints ranked 15th in the NFC playoff picture at the end of the 2024 season, but only seven teams make the playoffs. It’s too early to know where any team stands in the 2025 wild card race, but the Saints have the longest odds to win the NFC South at +2000. While the division may not be the strongest, the NFC as a whole features several elite teams, making the wild-card race especially competitive.
Who to Root for if You're a New Orleans Saints Fan
If you're a New Orleans Saints fan, you'll (of course) be rooting for the New Orleans Saints and rooting against their NFC South rivals, including the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Carolina Panthers, and Atlanta Falcons.
New Orleans Saints Postseason Outlook and Predictions
With Kellen Moore stepping in as head coach, the Saints are aiming for a major offensive turnaround. After Derek Carr’s retirement, Spencer Rattler and rookie Tyler Shough are left to lead the offense, with Rattler starting Week 1. To jumpstart the offense, New Orleans added tight end Jack Stoll, wide receiver Brandin Cooks and bolstered the offensive line by drafting Kelvin Banks Jr. in the first round.
On defense, the Saints added impactful players like defensive end Chase Young, safety Justin Reid, and defensive end Jonathan Bullard. New Orleans also drafted cornerback Quincy Riley and defensive tackle Vernon Broughton to add depth. Veterans such as Cameron Jordan and Demario Davis will be crucial in leading the unit.
