At this point, I'm not completely sold on this team yet, simply because the sample size isn't big enough to judge just how good this team is. But one thing is for sure, the Saints haven't just been beating bad teams.



So far in this short season, the Saints have played the toughest strength of schedule of any team in the league and by a good margin. The Saints opponents have a winning percentage of .621. The next closest is KC with a SoS at .600.



The Saints are also tied with KC for the best SoV, strength of victory at .588



None of the teams the Saints have played so far have a losing record.



Three of the 5 Saints opponents currently lead their divisions.



And 4 of the 5 teams would be in the playoffs, if they were held today.



Again, 5 games isn't a lot to go on but it's better to look good in a snap-shot like this, than as bad as they have in the last few seasons.
