Carolina Panthers

- If all goes well, Teddy Bridgewater will face his former Saints team twice after signing a 3-year, $63M contract with Carolina in March. 

- Bridgewater went 5-0 as a starter last season spanning Weeks 3-7 when Drew Brees was sidelined with a thumb injury. What’s even more impressive about Bridgewater’s 5-0 record is the Saints were underdogs in FOUR of those games. 

- Bridgewater is 28-7 against the spread in his career as a starter, including 5-0 last season.

The NFC South will produce plenty of high-profile quarterback matchups:

 

NFC South Starting QBs - 2020 Season

Tom Brady (TB)            NFL-record 6 Super Bowl titles

Drew Brees (NO)           NFL all-time leader in Pass TD & yds

Matt Ryan (ATL)           Most Pass yds through 12 years all-time

Teddy Bridgewater (CAR)   5-0 as Saints starter in 2019

Tampa Bay Buccaneers

- Super Bowl LV (55) is scheduled to be played in Tampa (no team has ever played in the Super Bowl on its home field)

- The Bucs rank right in the middle of the league in terms of overall strength of schedule (T-16th), but they’ll play just 1 ROAD game against a team that had a winning record last season - that coming against division-foe New Orleans. 

- Tampa Bay, however, has the hardest HOME schedule in the NFL based on 2019 win percentage. They’ll play 5 home games against teams that had a winning record last season: Saints (13-3), Chiefs (12-4), Packers (13-3), Vikings (10-6) and Rams (9-7).

- Tom Brady played 20 seasons with the Patriots, the most seasons a player has ever spent with a franchise before switching teams.

- Peyton Manning is the only starting quarterback to win the Super Bowl with 2 different teams, accomplishing that feat with the Colts and Broncos.

- Buccaneers ranked 30th in home attendance last season

- Buccaneers and Patriots won’t meet in the regular season in 2020, but they will play in 2021 in New England

New Orleans Saints

- We could be looking at some HIGH over/unders in Saints games this season when factoring in the big-name QBs Drew Brees will be going up against:

 

Tom Brady (x 2) … Brees leads all-time series 3-2 but Brady won the last 2

Matt Ryan (x 2)

Aaron Rodgers

Patrick Mahomes

Kirk Cousins

Jimmy Garoppolo

Matthew Stafford

Carson Wentz

One day I'd love to see the comparison of the Strength of Schedule before the season vs what it's considered after the season.

I believe we were said to have an easy one last year.

[Bronn]

Uhh... nothing new here. This is all already public information. Opponents are set well in advance. It is the when, not if, we are waiting on.

Preseason strength-of-schedule ratings are pretty much always meaningless.

[Bronn]

This just in form my sources at NASA.

Water is wet!

Definitely; you just never know who will turn it around, and who will drop off.
Funny enough...it could be this team that makes a surprise run.

[JawnyBlaze]

Interesting the patriots still had the hardest despite all their opponents playing against the patriots. Usually you see the bad teams had the hardest and the good teams had the easiest by nature of the teams contributing to the record of their opponents

I've posted it before. There is almost no correlation between SoS and successs.

[Riverboat Ron]

My sources tell me we will play the Bucs, Saints and Falcons each twice next year, bonus, we play one game at home then the other away!

You don’t need a buddy who works for a major network to leak you these info. It’s on google or just ask Siri 

[onmyown]

it’s sad we have to wait until our formidable opponents age out before we can compete

Very true. Opponents and 2019 records are pretty much already facts.

[bababoey]

I have a friend with front office info that says Marty likes Derrick Brown and if he is there at 7 they won't trade down and they will just take him.  Just some info from my inside source.
