Saints playoff picture could lead to rematch against Cowboys, Vikings or Eagles

Attached Thumbnails · 12-24-2018, 10:17 AM

When the NFC playoffs begin in two weeks, the New Orleans Saints could be getting ready for a rematch.

With the No. 1 seed and home-field advantage through the NFC playoffs, the Saints' first postseason game will be against the lower-seeded team to come out of the wild-card weekend.

Among those possible opponents are the Dallas Cowboys, who have the No. 4 seed clinched. The Saints are three weeks removed from a 13-10 loss to the NFC East champion Cowboys, after which Cameron Jordan said he hoped for a rematch.

Another possible playoff rematch could come against the Minnesota Vikings, the team that beat the Saints in the divisional round on a game-ending touchdown last season. This season, the Saints returned to Minnesota for a prime-time win. A chance to avenge that playoff defeat with another postseason meeting in three weeks would surely be more meaningful.

The soonest the Saints could face either the Rams or Bears would be in the NFC championship.

Based on the current standings, these would be the NFC playoff pairings if the postseason began this week:

No. 6 Vikings (8-6-1) at No. 3 Bears (11-4)
No. 5 Seahawks (9-6) at No. 4 Cowboys (9-6)
No. 1 Saints (13-2) would have a first-round bye
No. 2 Rams (12-3) would have a first-round bye

Dallas. I want Dallas. I want Jerah to watch his team get rolled up & smoked in the Dome.

I don't think those clowns will get past Seattle (5th seed) ...Dak Bortles isn't that guy. They are nothing special away from Jerry world.

Dallas or Vikings. I don't care which one. I cant wait.

Had a Cowboy fan tell me that we don't want to see them again even in the Dome. A win over Vikings would get last years taste out of our mouths.

I definitely don't think they can keep up with our offense

Don’t want the Eagles. They feel disrespected and Jenkins will be out for blood after being picked on by Payton personally. I like our home field advantage against The cowboys D.
