You asked me to predict the Saints record. I said 20-0 just like I did last year and just like I have said 19-0 before they went to 17 games last season. In no individual week during the season am I expecting my Saints to lose that week therefore I would not predict a loss that week. If I feel that way on a weekly basis is there a reason I shouldn't feel the exact same way over the entire season?![]()
That's why I have always "predicted" the Saints to win each game every year for decades and will continue to make the same prediction moving forward. So, am I going to bet those ridiculously long odds based upon your premise? Nope. Only a fool would do that and I repeat, I am no fool. Now do you get it? However, I would place, say, a $20 bet on a season long money line parlay for every Saints game. I would do that in a second. I would lose if the Saints lost a single game. However, if they didn't lose that $20 would roll over to the next game multiplied by the previous game's money line odds. Then those winnings would be placed on the next game's money line and on and on. At even odds (which it may even out to as they remained undefeated) the total at the end of the run would be $20,971,520. Could you handle that? ![]() |

Re: We Haven’t Beat A Stable Established QB
Here you go, ice. This was my response to halloween's foolish bet offer. Do I think the Saints will truly go 20-0? No. Honestly predicting a final record is meaningless. It's going to be what it ends up being. There are far too many unknown factors involved to truly know if any given team will go 3-14 or 14-3, especially before you even know the roster and coaching staff.

Re: We Haven’t Beat A Stable Established QB
It's like a Kool-Aid kinda thing. Watching all this talent collapse against a Brady AND a Darnold... TWICE each - and if you sing "Kumbaya" loud enough, it drowns out the "Boooooo" that a dedicated fan needs to be hearing in his head.

Re: We Haven’t Beat A Stable Established QB
Of course not. That why I said it would be foolish to bet on that. It's never happened in the history of the league. I intellectually know the chances of the Saints, or any other team for that matter, to go undefeated is almost impossible.
But, when predictions come into play I'll stick with my 20-0. Maybe just because it annoys you so. ![]() |
