We will be the underdawg at minnie.
And no one is buying stock in the Saints after 3 straight 7-9 seasons.
Go 2-0 to start the season and we will be back in the national conversation again.

Why would we be underdogs at Minn? 7-9 is still around .500 so even if they think we'll finish around that we will be favored in quite a few games.
Minn has looked terrible. We have not (offense aside which will be fine; not like Brees has played a ton). Even on the road I think we'll be slight favorites in that one.

You don't think Minn will be favored?

It will probably be Min -3

This. General public doesn't judge off of preseason potential and roster/coaching changes like we do.

These were the betting lines from ESPN I found. Says that we go 7-9 or 8-8.
I think we are 3-4 games better than this logic. First game will be a big tell. If we go to Minnesota and pull of a Monday night road opener...playoff bound.
Also, other than ATL twice in last 3 weeks... the back half of the schedule is kind of soft. Let's just get out of the gates hot!
Saints at Vikings (-3)
Patriots (-4.5) at Saints
Saints at Panthers (-3)
Week 4
Saints at Dolphins (-3) in London
Lions at Saints (-2.5)
Saints at Packers (-7.5)
Bears at Saints (-6)
Buccaneers at Saints (-1.5)
Saints at Bills (-2)
Redskins at Saints (-2.5)
Saints (-2) at Rams
Panthers at Saints (-2.5)
Saints at Falcons (-7)
Jets at Saints (-6.5)
Falcons at Saints (PK)

Am I crazy for thinking they will beat the Patriots?
I have them at 10-6, but I think that will be a W

Vikings are 3.5 point favorites right now
Saints are +400 to win the south. Vegas has as the clear bottoms dwellers in our division. Tampa is +275
Saints win total is at 8.5
All these 10 win people should place a bet

I suppose I should

I agree with most except Panthers... no way we get swept by the Panthers.
Also I could see us winning the Washington game.
11-5

Honestly, you don't see a possibility of 10 wins?
It is basically 2 more wins than odds. You don't think they can steal two...somewhere?
Posted on 8/29/17 at 3:46 pm to SaintEB
You don't think we've said that the last 3 years?

I see the possibility, but you act as if two wins isn't a lot. It's easier for good teams to "steal" a win here or there. Fact of the matter is, we've been the team getting our wins stolen the past three seasons bc we aren't a good team

We "weren't" a good team. We were also plagued with injuries but seriously have you watched any of the preseason games? There is no denying that this defense looks night and day compared to the last few season. 7-9 with the worst defense.... it's not hard to imagine 10 wins with a mid ranked defense.

Who do you see us losing 7 games to?
I think we lose to the pats, panthers one, go 3-3 inside the division, and lose one to either the redskins or lions

This isn't an exaggeration, you do realize we probably played two of the worst starting NFL QBs in Osweiler and watson, and a charger team with no Phillip Rivers? You want to base this defense off limited snaps against those guys?
And we will jump into the season and play Brady, Rodgers, Ryan Winston cam x2, cousins and matt Stafford.. even guys like Sam Bradford (hung 40 on us w the eagles last time) and cutler are veteran QBs who have weapons. That's 12 games where this defense will be tested.
Posted on 8/29/17 at 4:09 pm to ChiaTiger
We could lose any of those 12 games vs good QBs, don't you think? Just close your eyes and recall our past games against top QBs the past few years. You can never just chalk up a win. It's a shoot out or blowout
In a perfect world we have no injuries to our secondary/LBs or OL and win 10 games going away
Injuries fall our way for the most part and we are likely a 9 win team
2 or 3 key injuries to guys like breaux or lattimore and we are looking at 8 wins
