Franchise History
On November 1, 1966, the city of New Orleans was granted a National Football League franchise and 28- year-old John Mecom became the majority stockholder. March 8, 1967 is when they began selling tickets and 20,000 of them were sold on the first day.
The first regular season game featured 80,879 fans watched in Tulane Stadium as the team began its history with a 94 yard touchdown return but eventually lost 27-23 to the Rams. The team went on to finish 3-13 for the season and averaged an outstanding 75,463 fans per game.
In 1985, the team was purchased by Tom Benson and a winning era came into being. Jim Mora became the coach and they went 12-3 and finished second in the NFC West.
From 1987-1992, the Saints were in the playoffs four times. From 1997 to 1999, Mike Ditka became the coach and then Jim Haslett took over. It was in 2006, when Sean Payton took over at the helm that the Saints first garnered a Super Bowl victory in the 2010 season against the Colts in SB XLIV.

New Orleans Saints Betting- Looking at the Numbers
Quarterback Drew Brees is still accurate at his later age. He is looking for one more ring. His favorite receiving target is Michael Thomas. He picked up 92 first downs which is very high. This combination is lethal. Running the ball is the very capable Alvin Kamara.
He was likely the second best RB in the league and his receiving ability is awesome. This offense is primed and ready for head coach Sean Payton.
