New Orleans Saints vs San Francisco 49ers 2025 Week 2 Preview

Caleb Yaccarino • September 14, 2025

After a close loss to the Arizona Cardinals, the New Orleans Saints have a chance to bounce back against a depleted San Francisco 49ers team, but can they do it?


What the 49ers bring to the table

Going into each season, the 49ers are a competitive team filled with talent, but this year is a bit different. The team saw many key players leave this offseason, and with the goal of extending QB Brock Purdy's contract, many of the roster holes could not be filled. In addition, injuries have been a constant issue for the 49ers, and this year as already started with way too many. Purdy will be out of this game, which leaves backup Mac Jones set to start. With RB Christian McCaffrey healthy, the game plan should be to rely on the running game. If they do go to the pass, 2nd-year WR Ricky Pearsall and veteran Juan Jennings will be the main targets in the offense. Going to the defensive side of the ball, this is where the 49ers can win this game.  With Nick Bosa on the edge, Fred Warner at LB, and Deommodore Lenoir at CB, the Saints are going to have a tough matchup ahead of them.


How about the Saints?

After their loss to the Cardinals, the Saints had some positives to take away from the game. Spencer Rattler looked fine passing and was accurate, the running game looked excellent, the offensive line did not struggle much, and the defensive line disrupted the game. The main issues were the penalties, and if the Saints have any hope of winning this game, they need to fix that. This is also a game Rattler should do well in. Yes, I mentioned the defense for the 49ers is strong, but Rattler is going to have opportunities to throw deep on this team, and he could have a big game.


Injury Report

  • EDGE Chase Young - OUT
  • G Trevor Penning - OUT
  • S Jordan Howden - Questionable


My Prediction

I believe if Spencer Rattler plays well in this game, the New Orleans Saints win. I think this happens, and the Saints should also clean up the penalties. My final score prediction is 24-10 with the Saints winning.

This game always has a story, a moment to remember, so be ready, football fans! Florida Gators The Gators enter this contest with a record of 1-1. Florida opened up the season with a 55-0 win over Long Island University, but the Gators dropped a game last week to a talented South Florida team. This Gator offense is led by quarterback DJ Lagway. LSU fans remember Lagway all too well from last season. On the season, Lagway is 38/51, with 342 passing yards and 4 TDs. Jadan Baugh is the leader in the backfield. The leading pass catchers on this team are Vernell Brown III, Eugene Wilson III, and Hayden Hansen. The Gator defense is a solid unit. Jaden Robinson and Myles Graham are the leading linebackers. Tyreak Sapp is the leader on the defensive line. LSU Tigers The Tigers are coming off of a "disappointing" victory against Louisiana Tech. The Tigers have a chance to bury the Gators' dreams for the season in this game. This game being in Death Valley helps out the Tigers tremendously. The Tigers better be ready to get on the Gators early and often because this is an upset Gator team with a big upset on the mind. KEYS TO THE GAME - Can the Tigers establish a running game? The leaders on this team need to get up. - Will the Tigers' defense keep up the red-hot start to the season? - Will Braelin Moore be back on the field? This is a mad Florida team who would love to upset the Tigers in this rivalry. Can the Tigers contain DJ Lagway? Fun Fact: Florida running back coach Jabar Juluke was born in New Orleans. He was the running back coach at LSU in 2016. Thank you for checking out my article. Follow me on X (the artist formerly known as Twitter) @eazytro
