NFLN says: 3-0 Super Bowl contenders? - NFL Nation Blog - ESPN
The Saints should definitely be considered as legitimate Super Bowl contenders, based on their offensive track record under coach Sean Payton and quarterback Drew Brees.

I don't expect an exact repeat this year, but I think that's closer to the norm than last year's 7-9 season.
