Dr. Z's thoughts
 

Well here is another pick em guy who is off his rocker this year. So some may say. I would not put much of my money against Z.

Quote from CNN/SI article.
_______________________________________________________________________________
Saints, 8-8: Well, they know how to beat the Bucs. And lose to the Falcons. Both of which they did twice last year. I don't like the Saints much better than I did last season, and when I got through marking in all my little Ws and Ls, I found that I'd given them an 8-0 mark at home, and 0-8 on the road. This, of course, won't happen, but I'll bet that their final record won't be much different from what I've predicted.

I had predicted 11-5 or so a couple weeks ago but after going back through the schedule I don't see that happening. My last run through had them at 7-9. We'll get a much better idea of how good this team is a week from Sunday. This next week and a half is going to be painful!

Dr. Z is a senile, decrepit *******, who is one of the many reasons why Sports Illustrated is not the top sports journalistic publication anymore. He doesn\'t like the Saints this year or last, hell, I don\'t think he ever has. The year they went 10-6, he picked them to finish dead last in the NFL. Not the NFC, the NFL. I think he predicted that we would have a 1-15 season. Treat him exactly like what he is, petty, uninformed moron, who most likely has some type of blackmail info hanging over one of the chief editors at SI.

Does someone have a link to his 2002 predictions. Would be interesting and maybe even good for a laugh or two (I just love reading old articles who were rating the Gruden for draft picks deal as one of the worst in NFL history. Eat your words, pal).
