while I do think the Saints schedule is harder... its not so by a ton

the Saints will likely stumble sure and I could see that happening as soon as this week in Cincy... however Rams need to beat a pesky Seahawks team, the Chiefs, Bears on the road, and as you mentioned the Eagles who could be getting it together (lets see them SNF)

the Rams need to handle their business too

Maybe not by a ton, but by a clear amount.

And the Rams are 10 point favorites at home against the Hawks for a reason. Keep in mind that McVay has alway bounced back strong after a loss, and I expect the team to respond well this Sunday. Pesky Hawks or not. The Chiefs, Bears, and Eagles will be challenges and the Rams won't be measurable favorites in any of those games. But I expect them to win 1 or 2 of them, and win their other 4 against the Hawks, Lions, Cards, and Niners. That results in either 13 or 14 wins. Thats a very reasonalbe expected result.

The question is what is a very reasonable expected result for the Saint in their remaining 8 games? Cincy, Panthers twice, Falcons, Eagles, Steelers, Dallas, Bucs. Thats a very tough schedule especially with no bye.

Good post max and for the Saints I think out of their remaining games they've got 3 for sure wins: Cincy, Dallas, and the Bucs. I think they lose once to the Panthers and out of the remaining 4 games I think they lose 1 or 2 of those...I hope anyway.
