Which Teams Do You Prefer To Win This Week? (Edit: Week 3)

Curious to see what you all think regarding games played each week early in the season. Make no mistake. This thread is not to be confused with the "Know Who To Pull For" thread. @Bill has been doing a great job carrying on with that thread since the "dotless one" took a leave of absence. Both guys have put a lot of work into that thread each week over the years with some very thoughtful input with a few nuggets of contemplation engrossment. It's one of my favorite threads each year during the season. That thread doesn't usually get rolled out until it is evident which teams are in contention to have an impact of the Saints chances to make the playoffs or not. There has been contention that until then it doesn't matter as much which teams win or lose in the early part of the season. I don't personally agree with that theory as I think in some way or form all games matter, as what sets the tone early in the season has an impact on what is relevant down the stretch. Anyway, until that thread appears, we can share thoughts on what teams we all would prefer to win each week.
Thanks for reminding the forum about the KWTPF series of posts. You are correct in saying that those writeups usually don’t begin until later in the season. While it is true that all the games matter throughout the season, the reasoning behind waiting until later in the season has more to do with learning which teams will become the real threats to the Saints chances of making the playoffs.

In the beginning it’s easier just to remind everyone that we should always pull for the Saints to win and all of our NFC South opponents to lose. But once the records begin to indicate who are the better teams, then we can be more decisive in making picks that will truly benefit the Saints in the long run.

Generally early in the season, emotions affect the choices/picks that fans make. But by mid season the Win/Loss numbers gives us some legitimate data for making our KWTPF selections.
