New Orleans is one of the favorites in the NFC after finishing 10-6 last year. Drew Brees led the New Orleans offense throwing for 4,503 yards. "I still feel like we've only scratched the surface as an offense," said Brees, "We've got a lot of weapons and we've got a lot of balls to be spread around. I'm excited about the possibilities and the opportunity we have." The Saints should score against a Colt’s defense that looks weak. Running back Deuce McAllister rushed for 1,057 yards and 10 TDs in 2006 and Reggie Bush finished with a team-leading 88 catches for 742 yards, while rushing for 565 yards on 155 carries. Receiver Marques Colston is also a good one.
