Giants 12:00 pm Sunday, December 31 Carolina 12:00 pm As we all know, the Saints are 5-1 going in to the bye week. What's everyones predictions? I am thinking 10-6 or 11-5. Carolina, Giants, Ravens, Pittsburg, Atlanta, Dallas... With Atlanta, NY Giants, and Dallas on the road, we would be really lucky to get 1 win there. 11-5 will be my predictions. Of course the Saints make the play-offs!
With the 5 home games remaining, and now with Baltimore and Cincy looking more than vulnerable, I say the Saints win 4 of the remaining 5 home games. They are just gonna be tough to beat at home. No matter who it is...just ask Philly. Thats 9-2 right there. The 5 road games are all tough, with maybe Tampa as the exception (altho even they are playing much better these days). I would say we win only 2 of those 5. So that's 11-5. 12-4 at best, 10-6 at worst. Playoffs, any way you spin it. Legitimately have a chance at a bye week in the playoffs with a 12-4 record, especially since we beat Philly and own the tie-breaker over them. The fight for the 2nd bye might be decided in that Carolina home game to end the season.
That wasn't a bad prediction. Only KK and I were excited about the Saints back in October, it appears. That's ok, we got lots of room on this bandwagon. We take all comers.
