By your estimation then the Eagles haven't beaten anyone either. They've had the third easiest schedule in the entire NFL so far


So, let's not use that argument. Winning in the NFL is hard as shite.

Saints have had one of the tougher schedules, but whatever makes you feel better

Saints would beat dallas by 2 TDs

Dallas has proven themselves to be in top 5 yet. Defense is awful


They're #2 in sacks and top 15 in yards and points after just holding the #3 offense in the league to 17.

Their offense is dominant right now.

It's a little skewed because while the Packers have a winning record, the Saints got them with Hundley. That team may not win another game this season without Rodgers, he's all they have.

The Saints best wins are against the schizophrenic Panthers and the 3-4 Lions (who dropped 40 on them).

6 of their next 7 are against playoff contenders with .500 or better records. The good news for them is 5 of their last 8 are indoors and only 1 will have a big risk of being a "bad weather" game (Buffalo). So they'll be in their comfort zone.

The Strength of Schedule and Strength of Victory metrics do not agree with your opinions

Of the teams you listed; SOS

Saints: .548
Vikings: .444
Cowboys: .431
Eagles: .413
Rams: .409

Yea, but they haven't beaten anybody...!

Of the teams you listed; SOV (the same metric used in the NFL in tie-breaking procedures)

Saints: .478
Vikings: .396
Eagles: .379
Rams: .360
Cowboys: .357

It would be a gift for Dallas to play NO in the playoffs. Automatic victory

I doubt it

I think Dallas would win regular season but not playoffs against the Saints

Dallas got smacked by Trevor Siemian and the Broncos.

Their wins include the David Johnson-less Cardinals, a Giants team off to its worst start in over 35 years, a 49ers team off to its worst start in franchise history, and the schizophrenic Redskins.

They finally got a win over a potential playoff team today. Although that team has lost 3 of its last 4.

See how easy it is to nitpick schedules?

Dallas will win 7 of 8 to end the season. Good luck keeping up.

This Saints team looks nearly unbeatable right now. Their defense is playing inspired, hard-nosed football, they're running the ball effectively, and Brees is picking apart defenses without having to force throws or even really push the limits. And they're not just squeaking by teams, either. They're dominating their opponents.

Philly has the best record, but this Saints team looks like the real deal, a completely different team since week 2.

Saints are benefiting from a shitty schedule


Link? As of a couple weeks ago the Saints has the toughest SOS in the league. Regardless of the schedule though, you can only play the games on your schedule. And the Saints are winning those games instead of losing them which they were the last couple of years.
