35-40% chance to win at Philly, less than 10% chance to win at Seattle.

Kind of hard to say they will win anything when they havent shown an ability to win on the rosd


The Saints have won 3 games on the road.

If it weren't for two game winning last second drives, brought about by two terrible end games by Payton, they would have won five games on the road this year.

The defense is good enough to win on the road. The offense has fricked it up this year.

Half of the playing on the road shite has become mental. If they aren't headcases and play their best they could win it all.

IMO they get off the playoff road schneid next weekend, before losing a competitive game in Seattle.

trying not to be a homer but I think the Saints can win one.

but if they get past Philly(most likely opponent) they would have to play Seattle.

nothing from our game with them earlier this year gives me much hope. I thought our D played okay in that game but Russell Wilson was playing lights out. I mean it wasn't like they were just a straight mismatch for the Seattle O, Wilson was just firing accurate strikes all night. Tough to win in a situation like that.

I don't see it happening. They've struggled on the road all year, and they're going to have to win at least two road games.

Best hope--Cowboys beat Eagles. That'll be indoors against an inferior team with no killer instinct. Niners pull off the upset at Green Bay. Saints go to Carolina and pull off the upset and Niners upset the Seahawks, setting up the NFC Championship in the Dome. (That's assuming I have the seeds right.) It's a longshot but possible.

not possible. If the Saints win they go to Seattle regardless of what happens in the game tonight.

Saints could go all the way potentially. They may be the best 6th seed in several years and I believe the pack just won it as a 6 seed a couple of years ago.


The Eagles such at home so if this score holds up, I could very well see the Saints win there next weekend. That said, you would play at Seattle in the divisional round, which will be a mighty big task.

I say the Saints fall in Seattle.

Or they would have won 2 total games on the road, if it weren't for shitty late game coaching decisions by Schiano.... Or the missed FG by Lindell..... Or by not starting Josh Freeman.

It goes both ways.

They're a bad road team, period.

This is a good point.

They might be able to pull off the win in Philly, but gun to my head, I'd bet against them, because apparently........... According to the Saints board, NFL refs gamble on the games, and had $$$ on Tampa Bay today.

They'll be looking to get their losses back next week.

New Orleans will curb-stomp the shite out of Dallas next week if Dallas beats Philadelphia. If Philly wins then the Saints should still handle 'em.

Seattle gon process 'em the week after doe

Ah, OK. I thought they were the 5, but I was going from memory. I was paying more attention to how the dominoes fell in the AFC.
