So, I live in Chicago...which as a Saints fan it gives me a look into what others think outside of Louisiana.

All week on their sports talk radio, I've been hearing the same thing: The bears have the advantage because the saints aren't the same team outside of the dome.

So one of the producers of the show I'm listening to looked into this stat and it revealed that since 2009, the saints are 22-11 on the road, which is the best in the NFL.

I lol'd

They're still an excellent team away from home, but there's no denying we have a huge advantage at home. Our team feeds off of it.

Every team plays better at home

I will say I'm not as optimistic as most. This O line scares me still. This stretch of games will be the true test.

Payton/Brees are 0-3 at Soldier Field so they're not totally off base,

2006 NFC Championship L 39-14 (28°)
December 2007 - L 33-25 (couldn't find temp)
December 2008 - L 27-24 (28°)

That said, I like our chances this week though, low of 48° on Sunday.
