Fire up the homemade Mylar spaceship, Daddy: The New Orleans Saints are flying to the Super Bowl.
Crazy? Carried away? It’s only Week 6, after all. They’re still playing baseball! The Washington Redskins haven’t even fired one head coach!

The 5-0 Saints have been obnoxiously overlooked this season, a footnote to media-hoggy sideshows like Brett Favre’s ego and Mark Sanchez’s abdomen. Meanwhile, the Giants went into Eli Manning’s hometown with presumptive swagger—they were undefeated, they had a stout defense, and they were from New York, so the world already rotated around them.
