Thread title is unspecific. "It'll be the Saints" to what? Go undefeated? Get to the Super Bowl? Win the Super Bowl?
I'm not liking them for any of those, actually.
In terms of being undefeated, you can already see them starting to get stuck in the mud. Gave up 27 to the Giants, 34 to Miami (who choked that game away), and 27 to Atlanta. Granted, they have three creampuffs coming up to rest up against (Carolina, St. Louis, Tampa Bay), but then they have New England, the creampuff 'Skins (although it's a road game), the Cowboys, and then on the road to Atlanta.
In terms of getting to the Super Bowl, they have to get through Minnesota. That team will be difficult to beat, especially since weather won't be a factor in the game if they meet up.
In terms of winning the Super Bowl, if they manage to get by the Vikings, they'd most likely be facing, IMO, either the Colts, Patriots, or Steelers. (I don't see the Bengals, Ravens, Texans, or Broncos sustaining things.) That's three teams that know how to win in a Super Bowl, having all been there and won it this decade.
