Rams 24-21. Saints have not been playing very well lately.

Saints are really tough at home and this team with Brees is never out of the game (no lead is safe).
I am hoping for a great game...38-35. Whoever has the ball last wins.

I think you have to take the home field advantage in this game & go with the Saints. The Rams won last week because they ran all over the Cowboys. The Saints run D is very good, so I don't see that happening again. The Saints running game is every bit as good as the Rams. Brees is great, Goff is good, but not great. From a coaching standpoint, you have to give Payton a slight nod only because of experience. Brees knows he's getting long in the tooth & may never have a better chance at another SB. So, I expect him to be focused like a laser beam. On the other hand, Goff has never been this far & may very well choke a little. Should be an awesome game. If NO protects Brees, he'll hurt the Ram's secondary.

I live with a household of female Saints fans so I went out on limb with my prediction. I hate the Rams but just feel the Saints might not do it today. Told my household this so I went into work today so I am not there if my prediction becomes true.
the only thing in the Rams favor is that they may feel like a team of destiny. I never expected them to whoop up on dallas like they did,...made it look easy.
I have a buddy who is a lambs fan...and I told him when they lost to NO earlier in the season...."dont sweat it,...just makes it easier on the Lambs for the playoffs".... its hard to beat a team multiple times in a season... but everything would appear to favor the saints.

We obviously live in PA (but neither of us grew up here), but my wife & I HATE the Eagles. You have to live around Eagles fans to truly understand how a fanbase can make you hate a team. Of course, my wife is a Skins fan, so she especially hates them. Seeing that the Saints made our lives enjoyable last weekend by beating the Eagles, we have adopted them for the rest of the playoffs.
Very intriguing game. Both teams can air it out and both teams can grind it out. A turnover will decide this game which makes me lean toward the saints. I don’t think either team is going to go conservative but I do believe the teams that jumps out on top will turn to the ground game to keep their opponent of the field. I’m going to say Saints 26 rams 24.

I really have no idea who will win this but I'm looking forward to it!

Saints in a close game. Don't think it will be as high scoring as in the regular season.

I will miss part of this game while driving, listening on the radio so I can watch the other game. I have no rooting interest really, if anything I might root for the saints just because they are not the rams.
Rams. They took their foot off the gas for awhile and now they are "healthy" and I believe McVay has a plan.
Blow out time in Nawlins.

Very interesting storylines.
QB old guard vs new guard in both games. Can the vets slow down the rookies another year? In this one it's Brees trying to hold back Goff.
Rams didn't fulfill their expectations last year and so they are likely fired up. Especially Suh who has played on bad teams itching for a meaningful game. Today I think he's extra motivated and I just have a feeling he's going to ball out and that the Rams DL is going to get to Brees and harass him consistently. The Saints passing game hasn't been all that this year, especially as they were entering the playoffs. Brees has had two pretty good games in a row though. Brees also has his best shot in a long time (maybe his last) and it's at home, so I believe he plays with a sense of urgency and makes some great plays under pressure.
Both teams have great running attacks, but C.J. Anderson was a shot in the arm for the Rams and gives them a 1-2 running punch that just emerged together last week. He has size too, but compact like a bowling ball, a great complement for Gurley. Might not be enough film to stop what they're doing that way because they likely haven't showed it all yet.
I think it's going to be a good game with Brees and the Saints behind but catch up and maybe even take the lead late. However the Rams manage to get the lead back before time runs out.

I think i will miss both of the games. In the air about 5 hours, then another 3 driving.
Settled in with;
Scoop corn chips
Trader Joe's Salsa
Coors premium 6 pack
2 lbs BBQ/Terryaki wings
Let the entertainment begin!
Who put that plan together?

Certainly not me. I guess the better half is trying to get back at me after all these years of watching sports?

Davis with a big tackle and then gets the pick
Damn two screw ups by Saints. FGs will not be worth much in this game.

If Brees wins the Super Bowl will he hang it up?

Cory Littleton LB Rams is playing well. I think this is his first year starting and he is a RFA this year.
