The New Orleans Saints improved to 3-4 on the year after an upset victory over the Indianapolis Colts on Sunday. Why do I say upset? Because 82 percent of America picked the Colts, and Las Vegas odds had the black and gold as a -4.5 point underdog. The Saints were extremely impressive to begin the game, and got on the Colts early. They survived squandering a major lead, and escaped with a 27-21 victory at Lucas Oil Stadium.
