New Orleans Saints 2010 Super Bowl Odds, Picks & Predictions: The NFC’s top-seeded New Orleans finish the season with a three-game losing streak, which a lot of the times translated into an early exit from the playoffs. With disappointing loses to Dallas, Tampa Bay and Carolina, Drew Brees and company have plenty to figure out as they prepare for the divisional round next week. New Orleans would face the lowest remaining Wild Card and will have home-field advantage all the way to the big dance.
For thirteen weeks, the Saints were the 2010 Super Bowl favorites, as they cut through the league like a hot knife through butter. But does this team have enough veteran leadership to regain that form after finishing the season brining up the rear? The Saints became the first time in NFL history to start 13-0 and finish the regular season, 0-3. "The key now is to get ourselves mentally and physically refreshed and ready." Head coach Sean Payton said.
