Ya, Saints are very good in recent years coming off their bye:

Quote:
NEW ORLEANS -- The bye week was the best thing that could have happened to the 4-6 New Orleans Saints.

A chance to get healthy and recharge their batteries after an ugly two-game losing streak? Sure, all of those things.

But the Saints also have an uncanny knack for winning after bye weeks.

The Saints won five straight games following their bye from 2009-2013. Then last year, when they were struggling just as badly as they are this season, they came back from the bye and played one of their best games of the entire season at Detroit -- only to blow a 13-point lead in the final 3:38.

If they can come out just as strong Sunday at the Houston Texans, they’ll have a chance to get back on the right track.

“The mood in the locker room is we have six weeks, we have a lot of time to turn this thing around,” Saints defensive end Cameron Jordan said last week before players were given the entire week off.

3 pts for the Texans is the usual home field advantage thingy.... Essentially, they are saying on a neutral field, the 5-5 Texans and the 4-6 Saints are about even and I've got no debate for that..... Think it will boil down to our crappy offense vs. their crappy defense and our pretty good defense vs. their pretty good offense...
