... well, it is not only that the Saints have a lot of "ifs", I'm looking at the schedule, and see a lot of "if" teams also...

Carolina - last year they were decimated by injuries... then we had the added bonus of opening in Carolina with all the emotion of Mills' passing and Fields relapse... assuming that the Saints are going to sweep them is a little "too optimistic" for me..

Atlanta - beating the Vicks in december in Atlanta? ... guess the expectation is that by then Atlanta would have the division like last year?

Buffalo - the past years, the AFC has been much more stronger than the NFC. Buffalo had a bad record last year, but look at the division they play in... they have a decent running game..

Chicago - a team that also has lots of "ifs" and had injuries last year...

... I don't want to go team by team, but my point is that I see few games where I see a more than probable win...
