We will get to NFC championship

I've got a feeling that we dominate this week which will give them confidence that they can actually win against a more physical team. Once we get in the playoffs I think we can beat CHI, PHI, DAL in the first round. In the second round I feel like they will be full of confidence and win again. Then they go to Seattle for the NFC championship and lose a close one. As bad as the saints have played the last few weeks I still have faith in them because whenever brees is at the realm we still have a chance

I felt the same way up until yesterday. We can't expect to visit any of those teams you listed and get a win. No matter where the game is it will be a repeat performance of the game in Carolina.

Dallas I agree with...controlled environment really bad defense I think the Saints can win in Dallas.
Chicago....we know they can win. However, that may have been a different Saints team. With the weather and everything. The Bears can score...their defense is also suspect. Would be a toss up IMO.
Philly....based on what I've seen lately no way the Saints win that game. It will probably be colder than a witch's titty (possibly worse with any kind of precipitation) and that offense would eat us up. No way the Saints win in Philly.

Only team we "might" beat on the road is Dallas. We will not win outdoors at Philly or Chicago/GB in good weather much less if its freezing.

At this point, if we win in the WC round we will be in Seattle in the divisional round, not the NFC championship. Only way this changes is if SF loses out, we beat Tampa and become the 5th seed, and Arizona wins their WC game. Then they would go to Seattle and we would go to Carolina.
The most likely scenario at this point is:
SF wins out, NO beats Tampa, Carolina beats ATL and Seattle beats STL. All of these seem the "natural" course of things.
1st - Seattle, bye
2nd - Carolina, bye
3rd - Philly (vs NO)
4th - Chi (vs SF)
5th - SF (@ Chi)
6th - NO (@ Phi)
(IMO)
SF wins in Chi. I think we would not win in Philly, but for shits n giggles lets say we do.
1st - Sea (vs NO)
2nd -Car (vs SF)
5th - SF (@Car)
6th - NO (@ Sea)
Our chances are very slim at this point. I don't see us beating any of these teams on the road.
The only NFC playoff teams (or potential teams) I see a chance of us beating on the road are Philly, Chicago, Arizona, and Dallas.

The defense and a great QB make anything possible, but yeah they both have to show up at the same time.

OP is free to bet his house on his prediction.

Here is the thing...
Let's say this road game issue is purely mental. And in fact if they were a 5 seed ended up having to go to Dallas or Chicago or Philly. If, and a big if, let's say they can win on the road and break through that mental block...
Could that be enough to lift the malaise and send them on a spree?
