I think the Saints can beat Denver, I just see why they are ranked higher, all things considered. If Cutler goes in there and tanks they will drop real fast.
i guess you have a point their, I just tend to take into account emotional and confidence levels of a team along with what problems the team is having instead of basing off records and such. I guess this is just another example of why rankings are just opinions and shouldn't be taken as seriouslly as they are taken.
On a side note: these rankings always seem to be the most viewed threads when they come around, we really do seem to take this stuff to heart too much, me included.
