The New Orleans Saints host the San Francisco 49ers with an opportunity to stand firmly in control of home field advantage throughout the NFC Playoffs for a second consecutive season. Now, the Niners come to town with an identical 10-2 record, but due to Seattle’s equal 10-2 record and the tiebreaker over them, San Francisco currently sits fifth in the NFC playoff seeding.
No matter what the record or seeding, the hate Saints fans have for the Niners is always strong, and this marquee matchup has been circled on the calendar for quite some time now.
