NFC SOUTH

1. New Orleans Saints (17.0)

Offense: Top-ranked unit should be explosive again with 4,000-yard QB Drew Brees, 1,000-yard RB Deuce McAllister, 1,000-yard WR Marques Colston and all-purpose threat Reggie Bush. Rookie WR Robert Meachem and TE Eric Johnson are newest weapons. Solid O-line returns intact. Rating: 5.0.
