The Saints got blown out early, then they started to take charge, then Brees said "nah, screw that," pulled a Cutler, and starting targeting the cornerbacks and safeties. Five picks later, the game was done.

Tell me the last game Cutler threw 5 picks...

Why on earth anyone with half a brain would have picked the Saints last night is beyond me.  I was going to make a grocery list of reasons that the Falcons were going to win before the game, but then I noticed that most of the members that picked the Saints were close to me in the prediction league and I didn't need to give any of you guys any help.

I doubt your list contained the point "Brees will throw 0 TDs and 5 INTs", because that's really what last night's game was all about. The Saints could have won this, if Brees hadn't pulled a Cutler.

Cutler only has thrown 5 Ints as often as the great Drew Brees.  Compare Drew to a crappy QB that does something like that consistently...

Some reasons picking the Saints to me was crazy:

Revenge game.

Atlanta always wins at home.

The Saints don't have a head coach. 

Atlanta only has lost one game all year and ther second wasn't going to be to the Saints again.

Atlanta has a better running game.

Atanta has a better defense.

Atlanta has a better tight end.

I am not a bandwagoner for the Saints (or the Packers for that matter).
