6 Reasons Why the New Orleans Saints Should Be Super Bowl XLVI Favorites

The New Orleans Saints are recognized as one of the better teams in the NFL this year, but few are saying they could win the Super Bowl.

However, the Saints deserve to be Super Bowl favorites in 2011. They have proved time and again this year that they can beat the toughest opponents and prove critics wrong, yet they do not seem as though they are a serious title contender.
