I don't think so. Saints over incredibly overrated. Drew Brees hasn't been able to throw the ball beyond 20 yds the past 2-3 years with any kind of accuracy because of age and wear and tear. and his season-long endurance is even weaker. its why his worst games have come in the last 2 years of playoffs. and now its catching up to him on shorter passes.
the guy is going to be 42 in a few months, Tom Brady is an exception as far as aging QBs who trains and conditions completely different from everyone else. Most QBs hit the wall between 40-41 at the latest. Drew already has but Payton smartly changed the offense in recent years to eliminate deep passes to mask Drew's weaknesses.
And Raiders talent has been slowly building. I still don't understand the deal with Derek Carr and Jon Gruden. i've never seen a QB who seems so unwanted by the coach, yet every year he's still the starter. so whatever works. but Josh Jacobs is awesome, they have strong receivers and Carr is always a threat to playing well. not sure they contend necessarily but i'm not shocked if the Raiders end up as "good"
