re: Which Team Could Knock off the Seahawks in the Divisional Round for the Saints?

In 2011 the Packers were 15-1 and Saints fans had already conceded that they were not playing the NFC Championship at home. Then the Giants went to Lambeau and beat the holy frick out of Green Bay and the Saints blew a chance to host the NFC Championship.

It IS possible. How often does the 1 get to the Super Bowl in the NFC? When was the last time a 1 besides the Saints got to the Super Bowl?

yeah, the Saints were the last #1 seed in the NFC to reach the Super Bowl.

weren't the Colts also the last #1 seed to get to from the AFC?

I know for sure that was the last time both #1 seeds made it in the same season.

2010, 2011, and 2012 have seen wildcard teams get healthy towards the end of the season and get red hot in the playoffs and go on to win the Super Bowl.
