The "We Have to Play Minnesota Sometime" Argument

I would agree with you if it were an 8-team format and they were coming off six days rest.
However, they will have two weeks rest before they would play us (assuming we win Sunday), so for that reason, I'm out.
Let's beat a Carolina team we have already beaten twice, go to Philly and play a team that is a shell of its former self, then go to Minnesota and play a team that is coming off a week's rest just like us (except we will have seven days rest compared to their six because we play Saturday night and they play Sunday afternoon, just like 2009).

The very strong possibility of hosting NFCCG was a bigger carrot than avoiding Minnesota until the NFCCG.
We have basically no chance of hosting NFCCG now. It went from about 35% with 3 seed to about 5%.
Think back to the 2010 NFCCG. Zero chance we win that game in the Metrodome. Zero chance. That was one of the luckier wins in Saints history - we were thoroughly outplayed on both sides of the ball.

The Carolina/Philly route has us in the best shape to play in the NFCC game. The Saints would be favored in both games.
From there, it's all in the hands of fate if we have to go to LA or Minnesota to play.

You make it to the NFC Championship and anything can happen.
Wins over Carolina and Philly might give us the momentum we need to go into Minnesota or LA for that matter and when.
It's all about snatching momentum in the playoffs. Look at what the Giants did in 2011 after they thrashed Atlanta and Green Bay? They won the whole damn thing. Just have to get there and anything can happen.

I think everyone should put Minnesota plans on hold. The odds of beating Carolina three times in the same season with our current defense are slim to none. In fact, I see no way the Saints make it to the divisional round. Injuries to key players have killed our chances. Very proud of the guys for winning the division, but they are not at full strength by a long shot!

Atlanta will beat the Rams and play Philly. We will win and play the Vikings.

frick that. I want atlanta in the dome.

Well if you don't face the Vikings next week you play the Eagles on a short week (Early Saturday) coming off the late game on Sunday.

I want to play Minnesota in the championship. There is no way in hell the NFL let's the Vikings play a home game for the Superbowl. It hasn't happened yet. The NFL would lose too much money if a home team gets in the Superbowl.

Let’s just play the games in front of us and enjoy the playoffs

I mean they could very well come out flat as hell too. Keenum a complete wildcard in the playoffs.
