Just go 2-1 at the very least please.

I think the #1 seed would really benefit the Saints. Really them and New England probably need home field the most. As much as they are an offensive team I think their defense feeds off the energy in that Dome and they can really jump on teams early. Something they really can't generate on the road.
To me the biggest reason why they only have the one Super bowl appearance in the Brees era is that they've had to play on the road in round 2 more often than not. They could go toe to toe in LA with the Rams. But in NOLA I think they can jump on the Rams early and force them into a lot more mistakes.
