New Orleans. You heard me. The Saints. Between now and Nov. 30, they play one opponent with a winning record, and it's the New York Giants. That's Oct. 18, and, considering the Giants' history of success on the road, it's a game that at least is in question. But let's say they win it.
Then look what's next: at Miami, then two consecutive homes vs. Atlanta and Carolina, followed by St. Louis and Tampa Bay.
I like their chances of running the table more than the Giants, who have to go to Philadelphia on Nov. 1, or Indianapolis, which has San Francisco, Houston and New England in succession, followed by a Nov. 22 date at Baltimore.
Denver won't make it unscathed through the next three weeks, and Minnesota has a three-week grind starting with an Oct. 18 game vs. Baltimore. Then it's on to Pittsburgh and Green Bay. Say goodnight to a perfect season.
