So you didn’t see this Saints’ season coming, did ya?

Don’t be too hard on yourself. Few did.

Most pundits picked the Saints as a middle-of-the-pack outfit this season.

I was a bit more optimistic, picking them to go 10-6 in my preseason crystal ball column.

Yet, as bold as that prognostication seemed at the time, a 10-6 campaign would be extremely disappointing after the Saints’ surprising 7-2 start.

The Saints have won seven consecutive games and now have an 88 percent probability rate to make the playoffs. And how they are winning is perhaps the most surprising part of it all.
