Are The Saints Set To Unseat The Packers?

The Green Bay Packers are not only the defending Super Bowl Champions, but also enter the NFL Playoffs as the top-seed in the NFC, with a 15-1 record.

That being said, the New Orleans Saints may very well be the team to beat in the playoffs.

The Saints have won eight straight games, and possess the top offense in the league, averaging 467.1 yards-per-game.

Since the beginning of December, New Orleans went 5-0, and outscored their opponents, 185-87.

During that same span, quarterback Drew Brees has completed 145 of 197 passes, for 1,787 yards, along with 19 touchdowns, and only three interceptions.

So, the Packers, as good as they are may not even be the team to beat, as the Saints are playing at their highest level of the year.

Jim Corbett, of the USA Today, agrees.
