New Orleans Saints (13-3, 12-4 ATS) vs. San Francisco 49ers (13-3, 12-3-1 ATS), 4:30 p.m. EST, NFC Divisional Playoffs, Saturday, January 14, 2012, Candlestick Park, San Francisco, California, TV: Fox
The New Orleans Saints head west to face the San Francisco 49ers in a divisional playoff game on Saturday. Other than the Packers, this is the class of the NFC, with these teams a combined 27-6. For bettors, these two teams have been awfully profitable, only failing to cover 7 times in 33 combined chances. With each team playing with a honed edge and heightened sense of purpose, this game could be the crown jewel of this postseason.
To say San Francisco has struggled recently is overstating the point. Losing 2 of their last 6 after a 9-1 start isn’t really saying much, even though they were only 3-3 ATS in their last 6, after going 9-0-1 in their first 10. It’s just that the Saints have won and covered in 8 straight games. You see how they’re clicking now and the energy and passion that this team is radiating and you wonder how good this team really is. They will have to prove they can do it at a place like Candlestick Park. Since week 2, the Saints have scored more than 30 points 7 times. All but one of those games was at home--the other being at the Metrodome. And against this defense, domes won’t be their only concern.
