2026 New Orleans Saints Strength of Schedule
New Orleans has one of the league’s more favorable schedules at No. 31, with opponents averaging 77.5. Chicago Bears, Cincinnati Bengals and Green Bay Packers still give the schedule a real test, but one game against a current top-10 team keep the full road from looking as heavy as most.

How PFM Measures Strength of Schedule
Road Ahead averages the current PFM Team Scores of every opponent on the regular-season schedule. Home, away and neutral-site games are tracked for context, but venue does not change the opponent average. PFM is measuring schedule strength, not predicting individual games.
Traditional comparison source: NFL.com 2025 regular-season league standings Records are labelled for the 2025 season through Week 18.
