[KNGT-FM] — The 2025 NFL season is approaching fast, and for the fans of the black and gold, another year brings optimistic hopes for a good season.

Last year, the Saints came out on fire, scoring 91 points in the first two games of the year. Then the Saints went on a seven-game losing streak, prompting the firing of their head coach. Compound that with the loss of their starting quarterback, Derek Carr, to injury, and the season just went downhill from there.
The Saints finished the season at 5-12 and entered the offseason with considerable uncertainty about the future of the starting quarterback and who would lead the team moving forward. Those questions were quickly answered, however, when they announced the hiring of Kellan Moore to become the next head coach of the Saints.

Odd makers have made the Black and Gold a long shot to win the Super Bowl this season. The Saints are favored dead last at a +40000. For instance, if you bet $100 for the Saints to win it all, the payday for you would be $40,000. Now that is a huge long shot, but if you are willing to take the chance and the Saints win it all, you will be rich. Well, sorta.
