I have "bolded" who I think should/could be winners. This almost mirrors the early Vegas lines for season. Vegas has the Saints as underdogs in four of the first 15 games and the final game has no line.

I really don't see the Saints dropping a home game again this season, but they could slip up on one. Then again, they could take one of the four I have slotted as loses on the road as well.

I am honestly expecting 12-4.
