Last Week 3-0 (+9 Units)Season 42-37-4 (+ 11.5 Units)Last Season 53-47-2 (+21.5 Units)New Orleans (-4) at San FranNew Orleans finished the season 13-3, averaged almost 40 points per game at home, Drew Brees set the record for most yards in a season and they destroyed a good Detroit team last week. Thing is, they have to play the Niners in San Fran. Not the same as the Superdome. The Saints are actually pretty average on the road. The Niners defense is pretty good too. This game will be closer than most think. The Saints may still win, but will have to play hard to win at the end. Take the points and the home team here. (4 Units) I also think the total is way too high. Put a little extra on the under 47.5 (1 Unit)Denver (+13.5) at New EnglandThese two teams played each other a few weeks back. Denver actually was in the game until turnovers forced them out of the game. I don’t feel Tebow has enough magic to win this one, but he should have enough to keep it within the number. It’s a l...

Saints get knocked out by 49ers, 36-32

Drew Brees overcame five New Orleans turnovers and a 17-point deficit to put the Saints on the brink of their first road playoff victory in franchise history. He could only watch as Alex Smith and the San Francisco 49ers stole it away in the closing seconds, ending the Saints' chances at another Super Bowl run. Brees capped his record-setting season by throwing for 462 yards...

Scott Tolzien gets a thrill playing Drew Brees

Scott Tolzien is having a ball playing Drew Brees in practice this week. Not a bad gig for the little-known practice-squad quarterback, who wasn't even drafted after a stellar career at Wisconsin or active on game day for the NFC West champion 49ers (13-3) this season. He realizes full well that his behind-the-scenes role is a key to San Francisco's preparation for its NFC...

WATCH IT!: Drew Brees Talks to Ellen About Playoff Run

If I didn’t love me some Ellen DeGeneres, I’d be totally jealous that she gets to count Drew Brees among her circle of besties. I mean, the dude is on this show so much, he may as well be a co-host. Not that I’m complaining or anything. I LOVES ME SOME DREW, too!! Today on Ellen, the Saints QB was his usual adorable self chatting with Ellen about this weekend’s upcoming...

New Orleans Saints, Let’s Make History

49ers-Saints Preview: Keys to the 49ers defensive success

DEFENSIVE KEYS 1-TRAP BREES: Sacking quarterback Drew Brees is optimal, but the 49ers seem more intent on trapping him in the pocket. Brees is only six feet tall, but he's able to see the field by stepping up in the pocket and no one sees the whole field as well as he does. The 49ers plan to rush...

San Francisco 49ers KO Drew Brees, New Orleans Saints

Alex Smith's 14-yard TD pass to Vernon Davis wins it in final seconds

The NFC Championship will go through the 49ers

Good riddance to the New Orleans Saints.  Don't let the door hit your a** on the way out.  If the NY Giants can pull off a great upset today and beat the Packers, it really should not matter who the Giants would face the following week.  You play whoever is in your path.  With that said, there was not a single Giants fan who wanted to see the team have to go through that...

Alex Smith out-duels Drew Brees in 49ers’ new coronation

Many will take the Vernon Davis touchdown catch from Alex Smith with 14 seconds left in the San Francisco 49ers' divisional round win over the New Orleans Saints and compare it to "The Catch," the pass from Joe Montana to Dwight Clark that happened 30 years and a few days ago and started the Bill Walsh 49ers dynasty by propelling the franchise to its first Super Bowl...
