The NFL schedule has come out causing extreme excitement among football fans since it lays out every team's path for the new season and means we are baby steps closer to games getting underway.
We found out early this morning that the Saints will be hosting Green Bay in week one. Hopefully, we see more of Alvin Kamara patiently picking apart the Packers defense. (How about that hustle #78!)
Any question of how much interest there would be in the New Orleans Saints post Drew Brees was answered pretty loudly by the schedule-makers with 5 prime time games. Two Monday nighters, one on Sunday and two back-to-back Thursday contests.
Get ready to BBQ some bison with the Buffalo Bills visiting on Thanksgiving, followed by spotlight of having "America's Team", the Dallas Cowboys, coming to the Mercedes Benz Superdome.
Three of the Saints final four games come against division rivals setting up for a spicy finish. New Orleans has been king of the hill, atop Mt. NFC South the past four seasons.
