The New Orleans Saints finally exercised demons last week in Chicago. Not by defeating the Bears, they've done that before and have been the better team for some time now, but by winning a game at Sodless Field Soldier Field. Now the Saints move on from Chicago to face New England.
Week 6 features the premier interconference game on the Saints' 2013 schedule: Belichick, Brady, and the New England Patriots. The Foxboro faithful at Gillette Stadium will be ready, but so will this Saints team which has been underappreciated on the road under Payton and Brees. Sean Payton and Drew Brees against Bill Belichick and Tom Brady is the premier matchup of this week (and perhaps the season), but let's also take a look at the rest of the action in Week 6.
Last week I went: 8-6, Season record 49-28
