New Orleans Saints (20-1 odds)

It is hard to call them a “dark horse” but I believe this Saints team has every possibility to knock-off the Seattle Seahawks and win the whole thing as anyone.

STRENGTHS: As stated above, to beat Seattle and their tremendous secondary will take a good deal of balance. I am contradicting myself here as no one will claim the Saints are balanced offensive force. In fact a much more logical argument can be made for the Green Bay Packers being a threat with a healthy Arron Rodgers and we will see how that plays out the first week of the season. But the domination New Orleans with a top flight quarterback such as Drew Brees has at home and the versatility of their receivers in Jimmy Graham, Marques Colston and company including a rookie receiver in Brandin Cooks who some believe was a steal) , I believe presents basic match-up problems for even a team as talented as Seattle.

WEAKNESS: A lack of solid established running game as stated above.

OVERALL: It is a long shot, probably, but I am going to offer New Orleans as a team that can legitimately challenge the dominance of Seattle if all factors fall their way.
