Atlanta was playing pretty good football before running into the Saints.
My point is that these were all good teams when the Saints played them. Not so much afterward admittedly.

Yup.
What is amazing about them this year is that even in the games when the defense gave up points and Brees was not at his best or the offense at their best, the defense scored for them. They will put up points both offensively and defensively. Even when the defense doesn't score like in the Patriots game last night, they create turnovers that lead to points.
They are just an incredible all around team this year, barring any injuries.
Hard not to acknowledge them as the number one contender for a Super Bowl win, regardless of what team you are a fan of. Of course, on any given Sunday......................but the odds are still in the favor of the Saints, by a long shot.
