This matchup against a Ravens team that matches up with us pretty well will surely be an epic battle. At least our Saints get an extra day to rest and heal that the Ravens won't get. Plus, the Ravens must be pretty battle weary after having to hold off a resurgent Texans team in OT last night. The outcome of last nights MNF game works well into our favor. Had the Ravens lost, they'd likely be desperate for a win against us. Had they won easily, they might not have come out of that game so obviously tired. Their defense looked totally gassed in the 4th quarter. Despite all of this, it's still going to be difficult for us to get a much needed win at their house. Screw the Wild Card and 5th seed! We want the division, the 1st seed, and a first round bye. GO SEAHAWKS!

Panthers drag Falcons out of top spot - NFC South Blog - ESPN
The Panthers are so bad that they cost the Atlanta Falcons the No. 1 spot in the ESPN.com Power Rankings. Yep, Atlanta had held the spot for four straight weeks, has won seven straight games and the Falcons went up to Charlotte on Sunday and defeated the Panthers 31-10.

As the kids like to say, "Things are about to get real." The Saints finished off their final inferior opponent of 2010 Sunday and enter the home stretch full of possibilities. The Saints have their flaws (too many turnovers on offense, inconsistent special teams) but who in the NFC is perfect? Atlanta is really good but the difference between them and New Orleans is a missed Garrett Hartley field goal.
