NFC Divisional Playoffs : NFC: No. 3 New Orleans Saints (13-3) at No. 2 San Francisco 49ers (13-3), 4:30 p.m, ET (FOX) . The San Francisco 49ers welcome the New Orleans Saints to town this Saturday for the first 49ers playoff game in nine years. The last time the 49ers were in the playoffs, they pulled off the biggest comeback in playoff history in their wild card round victory over the New York Giants. They followed that up with a 31-6 thrashing at the hands of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Shortly thereafter, the team fired Steve Mariucci and moved on to eight seasons of ignominious play.
It's of course most notable that these 49ers are a much different team from last year. There are a lot of familiar faces from that game, but we all know it's a different team. It makes for a matchup that should be fun all around. I don't see either team winning in blowout fashion, but rather a fairly close battle that will keep all of us on the edge of our seats.
