This would leave me to believe the opposite. The way the league has been in recent years, there's so much parody that just when you think something is for certain, the opposite happens. No lead is safe anymore. Juggernaut teams getting beat by bottom feeders every week. Look at the Ravens beating up the Bills last night. What has happened in the first 3 weeks that would give any indication that that would happen? You'd think this would be a good thing. The ol' 'any given Sunday', but I find myself less interested in the first 3 quarters of games now because it almost doesn't matter anymore. So I think OP is right that the Saints could flip the script this week and win a game they should lose.
