Happy New Year, Saints Nation, and WHO DAT!!!! Our 2017 New Orleans Saints, fresh from winning their NFC South Divisional title, and finishing their regular season at 11-5 last Sunday, are back in the NFL postseason as they host Cam Newton and the visiting Carolina Panthers, as our beloved Saints will try to do the trifecta, by defeating the Panthers for the third time in the same NFL season.

Saints achieved earlier in December winning their sixth division title in franchise history, including their fourth NFC South title, and are also in the playoffs for the first time since 2013. New Orleans also equaled their 11-5 2017 NFL season record in their 2013 NFL season.

Saints are also hosting an NFL Home Playoff Game in New Orleans for the first time in six years, since defeating the Detroit Lions 45-28, in the 2011 NFC Wild Card Playoff Game back on January 2, 2012.

A win by the Saints would mean New Orleans would travel to play the Minnesota Vikings next Sunday for the 2018 NFC Divisional Playoff. Saints hopefully would earn a second visit to Minnesota, and their second appearance in a Super Bowl, for Super Bowl LII in February.

New Orleans earlier swept the home and home series over Carolina in this past 2017 NFL regular season. Saints earlier defeated the Panthers in Charlotte, North Carolina, by the score of 34-13 back on September 24. Saints later won the rematch over the Panthers 31-21 back on December 3. Saints outscored the Panthers 65-34 in both games.

Both New Orleans and Carolina have met 46 times during the regular season, with the Panthers still leading the all-time series, winning 24 games over 22 losses, but both the Saints and Panthers are playing in their first-ever poastseason game.

Joe Buck and Troy Aikman are announcing the live TV game commentary, along with sideline reporter and interviewer Erin Matthews, for The NFL On FOX, seen internationally, and locally in NOLA on WVUE FOX Channel 8, live on HD.

Jim Henderson, Deuce McAllister, and Kristin Garic are also announcing the live radio game play-by-play and analysis, and sideline reporting and interviews on tour radio on flagship stations . WWL-AM 870AM, and WWL 105.3FM, on The Saints Radio Network, and also the live radio feed from your devices, online on http://www.wwl.com/, and live on the WWL Mobile App.

Lead Referee and 23 year veteran Tony Corrente, leads his officiating crew assigned by the NFL offices in NYC, to supervise the game action between the Saints and Panthers.

NO injuries, defeat the Camthers for their third meeting in the 2018 postseason. and GEAUX SAINTS!!!!! WHO DAT!!!!!

I just hope everyone keeps their heads if we do happen to lose. This year was like a gift as far as I'm concerned, I had no idea we would be this good. Win or lose we had a good season and have a very bright future I think.

Having said that I think we win this game. It will be a tough fought victory but we will pull it off.:9:
 
I’m going and I don’t want to be able to hear after the game. Let’s get LOUD, and let’s get this W and move on to Minnesota! WHO DAT?!?!
 
In the Dome. The secondary is HYPED!

Obviously this will be a tough game against a very good & physical Carolina team . We can’t get behind the chains and we can’t turn the ball over / make silly mistakes on special teams.

If we don’t beat ourselves we can’t be beat.
 
Predicting something similar to the last Wildcard game in the Dome vs the Lions in 2011: a hard fought, high scoring game with us pulling away in the fourth quarter to win by 3 scores. Alvin Kamara in the Darren Sproles role. Brees in a complete state of flow. Wishful thinking perhaps but here's hoping. Enjoy the game everyone, it's been a while since Saints playoff football. Who Dat!
