Before the season had started, Las Vegas SuperBook had the projected odds of the New Orleans Saints winning the 2014-2015 NFL season at 6-1.
Two weeks and two consecutive losses later, the 0-2 Saints have miraculously unchanged results according to Las Vegas SuperBook.
While all other teams season odds have been updated, the Saints are still projected to win their division and the playoffs with an unheard of 6-1 odds despite being win-less thus far.
Admittedly, the Saints do have a favorable schedule for the remainder of the season and advantageous matchups for their offensive to wreak havoc. Namely, the Doplphins, Browns and many other sub-par teams will be expected to go down to the Saints' offense multiple shootouts to boost their horrendous record thus far.
To put this into proper NFL statistical analysis, only 11% of all teams have ever made it to the playoffs starting off the season 0-2. Never once has any team won the SuperBowl the same year as an 0-2 beginning.
Nevertheless, while the odds may be against one of the perceived favorites at the start of the year, the New Orleans Saints, Las Vegas SuperBook strongly disagrees.
