The NFC Championship Game is set and it’s going to be nothing short of a fantastic game. No matter who you are rooting for in this one, this is the game we all wanted. Who wins this battle is the question of the day and who knows! Really, predicting this one with any assurance of the right outcome, is not going to be an easy task. The one thing that we know for sure is this, The Rams come into this game with the second best offense in the league and the Saints come in with the third best offense. The Rams are posting the 20th best defense and the Saints hit the 14th spot on the list. Neither one of these teams have an overpowering defense and both of them love to run, they love to keep it fast paced and they want a footrace.

As you can well see, for the better part of this schedule, the Rams put up 30 or more. There were a few hiccups along the way and when they played teams with a great defensive unit, they struggled; IE-the Bears. Does this mean they will struggle against the Saints? No, what it means is this, the Saints have the 14 ranked defense in the NFL and they allowed a fired up offense to score 35 on them back on November 9th. The Rams can do it again. Whether or not the Saints outscore the Rams; that remains to be seen.
The Saints— This team has put up gaudy numbers as well and they can put it up against anybody. As said earlier, they put up 45 on these Rams, on November 4th. They opened the season against Tampa with a 40-48 loss, Cleveland 21-18, Atlanta 43-37 (ot), NY Giants 33-18, Washington 43-19, Baltimore 24-23, Minnesota 30-20, Rams 45-35, Bengals 51-14, Philly 48-7, Atlanta 31-17, Dallas 10-13 loss, Tampa 28-14, Carolina 12-9, Pittsburgh 31-28, Carolina 14-33 loss.
