IThere's a lot more to this game than regular season stats...maybe the Saints are the better team, but anything can happen in the postseason (we've already seen it in a couple of games this year), and I like the Bears' chances..
DifD.. thi is one thing we can agree on, however, when you compare two teams during any given year (again, I don't like doing the comparsons between different years, because you never know what does/doesn't change... note the Steelers defense didnt' lose a LOT during this season, but their numbers dropped)., you really have nothing other than the last "x" number of games to compare.
I've always liked the 'last 6 of the regular season + whatever playoff games your team has played"... because by this time, you should have everything in place (minus injuries and/or suspensions).
