New Orleans Saints (11-5, Playoffs: 1-0)

Last week in the NFC Wild Card game, Saints vs Eagles everybody thought that New Orleans couldn’t play in the cold, including me. They surprised everybody by winning that game in Philadelphia. Drew Brees had something to prove and he did what he needed to do to help the Saints move forward. Although, you really have to give the Saints defense props for keeping Philly at bay. New Orleans showed that they’re 3-5 away record in the regular season means nothing in the post season. This week their headed into Seattle, the key players that need to bring their A-game is the whole New Orleans defense and on offense the Saints need Drew Brees and the wide receivers to be on one accord to win this game.
