The New Orleans Saints are not a great team, but they also aren't as bad as a team like the Cleveland Browns. In other words, Seattle might have a tougher time getting a victory than most expect. Mike Macdonald and his players should win, but let's not expect a blowout.
New Orleans also got a bit of help from a former (and recent) Seahawk this week, too. Offensive lineman Sataoa Laumea, who was a late-round draft pick for Seattle just last season, didn't make the roster this year and was released. The Saints have snapped him up.
