We drew the Saturday 1:30 game

[Wolvie]

According to espn we play on Saturday. Not sure if this was already known but this is the first I've heard of it. That will definitely play into our favor as the Saints don't get an extra day to prepare for us (although that didn't help them in Seattle last Monday night). More importantly though, we will play the winner of next Sunday's game which gives us an extra day advantage on them (assuming we win).

Our playoff schedule was set last week after the season ended. We just didn't know who we are playing... but now we do.

I'm sure that has influence on the line going from 7.5 to 9 so far and likely still climbing. A cool and wet game really has to favor us and our style of play at home.

Saturday games are great when you win. You easily got the best game time IMO. This does NOT serve the Saints well at all.

So true, win this game and then get to sit back and enjoy the other 3 games. SF got a tough draw with the 1pm start time Sunday.

I actually think it worked out better for the 49ers because if they faced us it would have been on a short week.

Naa, that long trip to the east coast against a much more solid team spells doom for the 49ers, well I guess it was doom for them either way, now that I think about it.
