In racing off to a 2-0 start, Drew Brees and the Saints are already being compared to the 2007 New England Patriots, who won 16 straight in the regular season before that Super Bowl flameout. Tom Brady threw 50 touchdown passes that season, and there is speculation that Brees will challenge that record.
The New Orleans Saints made sure they caught everyone’s attention by decimating the Lions 45-27 in Week 1 betting. Drew Brees was the headline grabber of the weekend, throwing for 358-yards and 6 touchdowns. The game against Detroit was a nice tune-up, but now we get to really see what the Saints can do on the road against a vaunted Eagles’ defense that caused five turnovers last weekend against Carolina.

Let it be known that Pierre Thomas is now to be referred to as the “PT Cruiser”. When a traffic jam forced me to miss the opening few rounds of a fantasy draft, and I got screwed with Pierre Thomas, it was an awful feeling. It’s the same feeling that the rental car that I got as a loaner after a car accident last year was a PT Cruiser. I wasn’t exited about at all, even though it was a fine car that got me where I wanted to go.

Why anyone would want to coach the dysfunctional Oakland Raiders (1-3 SU, 2-2 ATS, 3-1 O/U), these days is beyond me, but new head coach Tom Cable is clearly in over his head with a franchise that is totally ‘lost in the sauce.’
