Rueben Mayes

All four guests (Woody Paige(Denver), Tim Cowlishaw(Dallas), Kevin Blackistone(DC), and Frank Isola(NYC)) on Around the Horn today, Friday, Nov. 16, 2018 picked the Saints to win!

While I am happy that the Saints are finally getting the plaudits they very much deserve and are worthy of it still makes me a little tiny bit nervous that today's ESPN's ATH sports writers all picked the Saints thus maybe jinxing them.

Not used to ESPN showing too much love for the Saints unless they are rolling like they are now and it becomes hard for anyone to argue with the eyeball test.

I kind of like the experts underestimating the Saints and then giving them more of an advantage at least as far as the element of surprise is concerned. It is a great position to attack from...staying just ever so slightly below the radar and then with a gameplan that emphasizes the Saints' strengths to their optimum levels. Very glad and grateful for the offensive alchemist and sometime Riverboat Gambler that occupies the Head Coach position for the New Orleans Saints! Geaux Coach Payton!

That said however, awesome is awesome and excellence is excellence so maybe I'll just try using the wise words below and let them be my mantra until kickoff on Sunday
