Saints' first playoff opponent will be Cowboys or Eagles

SmashMouth · 01-06-2019, 11:17 AM

The New Orleans Saints' first postseason game will be against a team they faced in the regular season.

The Cowboys' win against the Seattle Seahawks on Saturday (Jan. 5) advanced them to the next round. There, they’ll travel to face the Saints only if the 6-1/2-point favored Chicago Bears win at home Sunday against the Philadelphia Eagles.

If the underdog Eagles beat the Bears, then it will be the Eagles coming to New Orleans next week for a 3:40 p.m. game Jan. 13.

The Saints have the No. 1 seed in the NFC playoffs and are assured of playing the lower-seeded team to come out of the Wild Card weekend. The Cowboys have the No. 4 seed and the Eagles are No. 6.

If the No. 3 Bears win, they’ll go to Los Angeles and face the No. 2 Rams. An Eagles win would send the Cowboys to L.A.

The Bears and Eagles play 3:40 p.m. Sunday on NBC.

Seattle's offense isn't all that high powered plus their oline is average on their best day. And it was a home game. The Giants ( yeah, the Giants) hung +30 on them in NY a week ago. Girls are a different team away from Jerah World.

Also the Colts hung up 23 on them in Indy in the shutout a couple of weeks before that.

Wouldn't that be crazy if we went 13 and 3 with losses to the same teams and face the Colts in the sb

We're not losing to anyone that played this weekend,

even though field goals are very exciting

Well, we are 2-1 against the eagles and 0-0 against the cowboys. I know it is the least important stat for a game, but as a fan...

I just am wowed by the fact that we finally even have a playoff record one can look at. Even though 90% of it is in this century.

I was thinking we were pretty charmed against The Eagles, but I had forgotten about the '92 season when as the wild card behind (ALWAYS) behind SF -- the Dome Patrol and Bobby Hebert lost twice to the Eagles in one season. The game was in Philly even though we had the better record. That happened to us in Seattle too.

(I Hate that rule)

When we win the Superbowl this year - we will break 500 in our post season record. There was a time I didn't think I would live to see dat.

But they're the defending SB Champs. It's our time.
If the Saints will win the SB they have to be ready to beat any team, anywhere, anytime.
