HASLETT.jpgThe New Orleans Saints are once again destined for mediocrity sprinkled with moments of greatness in 2005. Although loaded with offensive talent, the Saints suspect defense and inconsistency make them once again a team not likely to make the playoffs or win more than 8 games. The win total for the Saints this year is 7.5 and they have 55-1 odds to win the Super Bowl this year, however, Covers Stephen Noyer says both those lines are ones that should be completely ignored by bettors this year. Instead, they should focus on the fate of Saints head coach Jim Haslett. Haslett is listed by Canbet as 5-1 to be the first NFC coach fired, which may be a blessing for the beleaguered former defensive coordinator. Dude looks like he just needs to get away from this horrible franchise and start over.
