Saints defense has played some mediocre offenses. Packers offense lit them up and it wont be no different if they met again. Tampa lost to the Saints because of the whole division rivalry shyt. Same as why the Packers lost to the Vikes. If u wanna buy into the Saints D hype then thats on u. Fact remains that the NFC is wide open and there are no favorites and the defenses in the NFC are not elite and can be exposed
I never said any were elite I said the best one by consistency, and momentum is the Saints. That matchup was earlier in the season. Cam Jordan and their front has played much better in recent weeks, and the back end has looked better, not worldbeaters, but better. Regardless, if an NFC squad is gonna win the Bowl, they have to have an effective run game (Time Of Possession), decent D, along with the ability to pass. (With a healthy Brees) Saints are the only ones who can consistently check all the boxes. Packers is D is mid. Bucs run game is damn near non existent (Arians/Leftwich). I'd give to the Rams except you
know in crunch time Goff will morph into
GawffulI. Same with Jones and the Giants, turnovers in inexplicable spots. Same with Vikes and the 96 million dollar man. Seattle just been struggling of recent being the face of inconsistency one day its the offense one day the it's the D, Russ is cooking then he's not.
I'd give it to you on the Saints, but they've won the games they were supposed to which only the Steelers can say they've done better. Whether or not it's convincing is a whole different convo. If they had dropped either of these games to the Falcons I'd be ready to shyt on them, but they didn't so
Outside of the Chiefs I don't see an L on their schedule so
