Well the common understanding is that a muddy field would actually be more harmful to the team with the better run offense, so it's hard to say, but stat-wise NO were #6 in yards per game rushing and SF were #8 - so going by numbers alone it would seem more harmful to NO.

The Saints have lost against weaker teams & win against better teams.

My apologies for the foul language, but she spelled it... not I!

I think the media is picking the 9er's so they can build up the ratings for the game.
