Saints and Colts

Saints - 2 road games, 1 was a divisional game.
Losses were by 3pts in OT and 2pts on a last second field goal.

2013 issues: Road woes, offense sputtered repeatedly and averaged 17ppg on the road.

2014 issues: Defense is starting out like crap and offense is inconsistent again (late to the line, random time outs, bad play calling, bad timely turnovers), but producing points (29ppg)


Colts: VERY difficult game 1 matchup, and a sputtered game 2. Easy division though..

Indy based on their division.

Week 14 Texans at Colts is going to decide that division.

The Saints will make the playoffs. The NFC South is bleh and they still have 8 home games remaining and will tbag their opponents accordingly.

Maybe, but 3 of their next 4 are division games, two on the road. If they don't come out of those three 2-1, which they should, they'll be behind the 8 ball big time.

True. I don't know if the Texans can pull off wins at home against the Bills and on the road against the Cowboys, but if they do Indy will definitely be in trouble.

I think the Colts have a much better chance of recovering since their division is so weak. With that said, I think Houston wins the division. The Colts have been living off of Luck bailing them out at the last second and are largely average outside of him performing miracles.

The Saints are a strong team but have dug a hole and it will be very difficult to get out of it. I firmly believe they end up with ~9wins I'm just not sure that will be enough. CAR and ATL will both be in the hunt at the end, division is most likely decided by 1 game.

Colts.

Since starting 5-0 last season, Saints are 6-7 in their last 13 regular season games. That's not elite.

Saints will go 7-1 at home worst case scenario IMO. They will probably split the remaining 6 road games as well but I could see them winning only 2.

I personally think Saints go 8-0 at home and 3-3 on the road.

I pegged them at 13-3 after the ATL game but after Cleveland, it's obvious this team just can't get it done on the road. Abysmal coaching to say the least.

IMO, the Colts and Saints are still both virtual locks to make the playoffs.

Saints will make the playoffs without a doubt. They just can't win the SB unless they have HFA, and the chances of them winning it have all but disappeared now.

7-1 at home?

they can't stop anyone home or away, you think the db's will magically figure it out playing in the dome?

they'll be 8-8 this year if they're lucky
