ESPN - Saints are WC team

ESPN ha Saints as NFC WC team most likely to make SB.

I guess only one team in each conference is considered division team? If playing this weekend you consider WC team.

I guess the only advantage is playing at home for six division winners.

The #1 seed has a large odds advantage (1 less game has a big effect mathematically), so they are refering to the best of the rest that play on wildcard weekend.

Homefield advantage does normally matter some, not this year though, and not nearly as much as playing one less game.
