Why is everyone so scared of the Patriots?

I don't say or think this too often about a game in which the Saints face a good team(due to years of mental conditioning), but I actually have a really good feeling that the Saints will show up the way they did against the Giants, firing on all cylinders. The outcome will be closer, but I see the Saints winning it. Just a gut feeling.

This is a game in which Sean Payton's talent as a playcaller will be a deciding factor in the game. Belichick will come away from the game surly and angry, but very impressed with Sean Payton.
