New Orleans Saints

First four: at Atlanta, at Cleveland, Minnesota, at Dallas

The Saints should get off to a heck of a start. A road game against Atlanta isn’t really easy, but the Falcons are coming off a bad season. Then it looks like you can count on wins against Cleveland, Minnesota and Dallas. How many yards and points are the Saints going to hang on that Cowboys defense?

I'm not counting chickens, but we have the potential for an EXCELLENT start going in to the bye.

No major injuries, win the turnover battle and run the ball - just decently - and things will all go black and gold...

Our main challenge is winning on the road.

Except for Atlanta the others are definite "trap" games.

If they do play Johnny Douchebag - well... We suck against rookie QBs.

ALWAYS have. I've never understood that.

First: at Atlanta

no reason to look ahead to anything. the birds are healthy and must be clipped in their own house in front of their fans.

put a claim on the NFC south right out of the gate on the road. nothing could be sweeter
