Nah, I'd prefer Dallas or Seattle over everyone else. Seattle is the definition of 1-dimensional.

Vikings are scary as hell. Cousins is inconsistent but has a tremendously high ceiling, they have a ton of offensive skill player talent and a defense that is rounding back into form.

Seattle has comparatively almost zero weapons on offense.

The Saints should have a chance to get their OL healthy & rested because a win over Pittsburgh, while not guaranteed, would effectively allow the Saints to get 2 weeks of rest. Give Bridgewater & the back-ups the task of beating Scam & Carooina in Week 17.

Heck, I'd like to see Taysom Hill play a quarter at QB, too. That dude has a very unique skill set.

Actually 3 weeks rest with the first round bye. We need to take care of business this weekend against the Steelers.

I want Dallas, but I doubt they get by the Seahawks. Also, no way in hell does Kurt Cousins go into Chicago and beat the Bears

I don't want to see the Saints play Seattle. I still have PTSD from that game

Out of the NFC playoff teams, only the Saints and Rams have a winning record on the road. Chicago currently is even on the road. Good sign for us.

Eagles could still snag that 6th wildcard. They are a half game behind the Vikings. They have to host the Texans this weekend, though.

Vikings probably have an easier slate. @Lions, then host the Bears in a game that could be a meaningless one for Chicago. Actually, given the game time, the Bears will be motivated to win it because Rams@Cards is later in the day.

I would take the Seahawks. Their passing game is spotty, they're mostly built on running and we have been killer against the run. Their defense isn't all that great either, would be a really good matchup for us.

Consider this, Bears Defense as good as they are gave up 30 points to Eli and the Giants..and Miami (I believe so)

I don't understand this. How could it be 3 weeks of rest?

Week 16 - Play hard; beat Steelers
Week 17 - Rest starters
Wildcard Weekend - off; Rest everybody
Divisional Round - Game day

If you are counting it as number of days, then you can say teams have 6 days of "rest" every week.

I guess that's like saying we gave up "2" first round picks for Davenport

Technically, no you don't. Just beat the team you're playing. I'd prefer the easiest road to the Super Bowl after this hellish season.
