Agreed Carolina & Philadelphia (unless you beat the Rams) seems the easier route than Atlanta & Minnesota, which is why I'm good with it. I still liked our odds against the Falcons at the Superdome, but more just wanted to see the absolute circus that a Saints vs Falcons playoff game would be like. Especially with how chippy their games were this season. Too bad.
NFC so wide open, you can make a good case for all six teams to go to the Super Bowl. I feel like the Rams are the team no-one's really talking about in the NFC, I think they're a serious threat. But if they run into Minny in the 2nd round - which is inevitable if they get past Atlanta - they're in trouble, as the Vikes absolutely spanked them this season already. Still though, Rams are somewhat my dark horse (if a #3 seed can be a dark horse) in the NFC playoffs this year, they always seem to get lost in the shuffle when media talks about NFC playoffs predictions lately.
