Today’s the day. We are one game away from either having to see the Saints in the Super Bowl or getting a reprieve, hopefully in the most crushing way imaginable for New Orleans. It’s fair to say I’m more nervous about this game than I typically am for non-Falcons games.
There’s also the plucky, exciting Chiefs in the AFC going against the frankly exhausting Patriots, but that’s slightly less important for our prospects.
Let’s take a look at both matchups ahead.
Patriots @ Chiefs
The weather favors the Patriots, who despite their evident talent and brilliant coaching remain a team committed to winning ugly slugfests when the chance presents itself.
