Additionally, the Saints have a favorable schedule, playing against weaker divisions and winnable games within their own division.
The Baltimore Ravens are expected to have a top five offense
The podcast predicts that the Baltimore Ravens will have a top five offense this year. Despite undergoing a schematic shift and integrating new players, the offense showed promise in the second half of the previous season. The combination of talented playmakers, including wide receivers Odell Beckham Jr. and Rashod Bateman, a strong offensive line, and the versatility of quarterback Lamar Jackson, lead to the prediction of a high-performing offense.
The Pittsburgh Steelers are projected to finish top 10 in offense and defense
The podcast predicts that the Pittsburgh Steelers will finish in the top 10 in both offense and defense this year. The offense showed improvement in the second half of the previous season, led by rookie quarterback Kenny Pickett and a talented supporting cast.

Overall, the team's talent and potential contribute to the prediction of a successful season on both sides of the ball.
