I say 4-2 at worst, more likely 5-1, with the loss(es) coming to the unexpected teams, like the Redskins or Chiefs.

I agree. Those games in the dome are listed in teams calenders as "rape day."

Did you think they would lose to the Browns at home in '10?

I'm pulling for 6 - 0. I could just see them overlooking KC coming off a tough division road game with a trip to Lambeau the following weekend.

KC if healthy is a hell of a foe.

4-2 is my prediction but I could see us going 3-3 as well. The injuries have really dampered my spirits for this season.

I played a 49er fan online in Madden a few days ago. We discussed the playoff game and season expectations. Pretty cool dude, said "if not for the Thomas hit, the Saints have the momentum the entire game, and probably win it". I asked how he feels about the 49ers having to come to the dome, he replies with "Hardest place to play, I think we are fricked for that game."

Opposing teams, and fans of those teams, know that playing the Saints at home will be brutal especially this year with all the madness.

Exactly my point. I didn't say they go undefeated this year because they did last year. I'm saying they will because that is what I believe.

Ok. Well I hope you are right. You probably are. I am generally a terrible sports gambler. I could still see us dropping that game.

You asked who we lost to at home last year after I mentioned that we lost to Cleveland the previous year at home. Obviously, we went undefeated at home last year, but that really has no relevance to how we will do at home this year.

I think 3-3 is also real plausible. In fact, down right scary. Our schedule is brutal.

I sadly agree with this - I am not liking our run D and tackling.

4-2

losses to Green Bay and Carolina. Almost said the Chiefs instead of Carolina. KC will get Hali back for this game so their D will be tough but a Matt Cassell led offense doesn't scare me.

Yes, but you used Cleveland in 2010 as an example as to why you thought KC would come in and win. I was using 2011 as an example as to why you can't use previous years.

I don't think they will drop the KC game because I think the Saints are better, add at home and I think they are way better. I think this team will be focused and ready to play every game, and home games will only increase that. Just my opinion.

Didn't look like we were ready to play at home last Friday.

I know, I know, preseason.
