One thing is clear after two weeks of the 2018 NFL season: The New Orleans Saints are not proving them right so far.
The trendy Super Bowl picks of many preseason prognosticators are a less-than-impressive 1-1 and looking decidedly less like last season's NFC South champions than the mediocre 7-9 outfits before them.
At this point, the only way the Saints are getting to Super Bowl 53 is if they use their league-allotted tickets for admission rather than scalping.
Whatever Super Bowl aspirations they harbored three weeks ago have quickly extinguished in a pair of lackluster performances to start the season.
