Without reading, i'm saying Saints.

RBs - Saints
WRs - Saints
TEs - NE
O Line - Saints
FB - Saints

Graham is incredible, but at minimum they're even. Virtually the same number of receptions and yards, but Gronkowski had 7 more TD; he's a very good blocker too.

Saints are better at WR and RB
Patriots get more from the TE position
Both are very good at QB and OL

Overall a slight edge to the Saints, probably because of the versatility and not relying on so few players. Saints scored 2.1 more points per game, had 39 more yards per game, passed for 263 more yards and ran for 363 more yards. Turnovers are about equal (NE 17; NO 19).

Looking ahead New England may (or may not) be able to surpass the Saints offense in 2012, adding Brandon Lloyd, Jabar Gaffney, Daniel Fells as a 3rd TE, etc., but to do so they'll need to get good production from one or both of their 2nd-year running backs.

Hernandez over Thomas (or whoever "starts" this year)

Not far off IMO.

Rbs- Definitely Saints
Wrs- Wash
Tes- Definitely NE
O Line- Wash

Saints for the obvious reason. We can run the ball better which makes us more dynamic.
