John Clayton: First...and 10

There is certain advantage to being label "emotional" in the Dome. It would put a dent in the opposing players on how to prepare the game against the Saints. On papar, you can do the match up for every player vs player, but being "emotional" automatically tips the balance.

I don't know how much the emotional factor being factored in the Saints wins so far, but as long as the opposing teams believe that is a BIG factor, it would just make the preparation much more complicated.
