With just 6 days remaining until the New Orleans Saints open their 2025 training camp, despite the low expectations, most fans are excited about new Coach Kellen Moore and all the changes that are set for this season.

But what should we expect? Is a losing season – or even a 4- or 5-win type of campaign OK if there’s improvement each week? Host Jim Derry has fun with WDSU-TV sports anchor Fletcher Mackel on Wednesday’s Dattitude Podcast (Ep. 390) presented by Evangeline Securities, as the pair breaks out the crystal ball.

Also, Jim picks Fletcher’s mind on the Pelicans and if the odds seem low for 2025-26. Will Willie Green make it through the season as coach? Will Zion Williamson not only stay healthy but take the next step in his career as a veteran? What are the chances of the playoffs?
