Drew Brees is basically on the same level as Peyton was in his prime and more importantly is behind the best offense line in the league. With the additional weapons they have they're in a comfortable position to beat the Vikings at home. And my "interesting rational" tells me 12-0 is better than 10-2  |
I think we seen yesterday and after the 07 Super Bowl that no team is as dominant as they may appear. The Saints have played exactly 3 teams with winning records this year and their oppenents have a staggering combined record of 56-88.(.389) You could put the Raiders up against that schedule and they'd have a shot at a winning record.
The Saints 3 big wins this year seemed big at the time but as time goes on seem less impressive
At Philly(this team seems good but I cant get the Oakland loss out of my head)
New York Giants(2-5 since starting 5-0)
New England Patriots(lost 3 out of last 4)
