00:00After the opening two weeks of the year, the Saints were probably the most impressive team

00:08or surprisingly most impressive team around the NFL and offensive juggernaut that had scored 91

00:15total points in each of its first two games, 44 in the first two, including the dismantling of

00:21Dallas week two at the star. Since then, New Orleans has dropped three consecutive games.

00:28They have scored 13 points or less in two of the three, and they lost a divisional game

00:34now two weeks ago in Atlanta to a Falcons team that failed to score an offensive touchdown.

00:40So we thought New Orleans might factor into the divisional race in the NFC South,

00:45and still that could be the case. But the odds are getting much longer,

00:49Jovernary, for New Orleans after five weeks and their team win total and their playoff price

00:55not posted on FanDuel on this Tuesday because of the injury concern around QB Derek Carr.

01:02Yeah, I mean, you saw it last night. I mean, the idea of Jake Hayner holding down the fort

01:14they could be in real trouble if that Derek Carr injury, I think they're in trouble anyway,

01:20but they could be in real trouble here. Don't forget, they got a ton of injuries on the

01:24offensive line as well. And then you put a backup in there, Jake Hayner, yikes. It could get ugly,

01:31way more ugly than before it turns around there for the Saints. And that schedule is not going

01:37to be easy. A lot of those divisional games coming up here and they may not have Derek Carr. That's

01:42that's not good.
