Who is the hottest team in football? It'd be hard to say it's anyone but the New Orleans Saints. Drew Brees has been lighting up the scoreboard and the Saints haven't lost since October. They're currently on an eight game winning streak and they hope to make it nine when they host the Detroit Lions in the NFC Wildcard game this weekend.
