The New Orleans Saints are one of only two undefeated teams left in the NFL and you can expect them to stay that way for a little while. Whether they finish the season a perfect 16-0 and may not be as important to them as whether they manage to win the Super Bowl.

The Saints were in the NFC Championship game a couple of years ago and it took them a while to get back to this level. Now they are older, wiser and more efficient.

On offense, the Saints have found a running game with backs Pierre Thomas and Mike Bell. That tandem picks up the tough yards while the passing game has developed some secondary and ternary targets to support Marques Colston.

On defense, the Saints have improved significantly this offeseason. They added a good defensive coordinator in Gregg Williams and improved their secondary significantly.

This team is very complete now without any visible holes. At the same time, the NFC has grown weaker around them as the New York Giants are no longer a power house and the Minnesota Vikings are still a question mark with an aging Brett Favre.

In the AFC, the New England Patriots have come down a peg, which has really left the Saints as the best team in the league.

This team is hungry after falling short of where they wanted to be over the last couple of years so look for them to use that as motivation to get the franchise a Super Bowl win this year.
