Sporting News season preview

I have read all of the pro football early mags -- all of them have us 3rd or 4th in the division with an 8-8 or 7-9 record

Even though I disagree with these predictions from football analysts (purely because I love the Saints), I guess you can't really blame these guys for predicting last place finishes for the Saints, I mean what would make them think that this is going to be the year of the Saint?

When we are 5-0 and atlanta comes to town.

no doubt we are being picked there because of our history. we are 500 minus one year under has. even that year we started off horrible and built like a 6 or 7 game winning streak if i remember correctly. it seems to be all or nothing with has. we are either loosing or we are winning. wait that sounds stupid. you guys get what i am saying dont you. i mean i know you are either winning or loosing but we are either winning a bunch in a row or loosing a bunch in a row. does that make sense. im not sure

if i was impartial i would probably be picking the same.

Hmm... what a fickle division. Difficult to pick 'em.

Atlanta - One broke leg and they're toast?

Carolina - Decent offense. Above average defense. Depends which way the ball bounces?

New Orleans - The offense will, as unlikely as it sounds, take care of itself. Defense, Defense, Defense?

Tampa Bay - Expect them to be competitive. Could give division opponents the loss they just don't need?

I love it!

I think our defense will really surprise many people at the start of the year. I agree that our offense will take care itself.
1 - SAINTS 11-5
2 - Car 10-6 (make the playoffs)
3 - Atl 9-7
4 - TB 6-10
