As if being two wins away from the Super Bowl in a Divisional play-off game was not enough, the New Orleans Saints have revenge on their minds when they return to Seattle and the scene of their massive play-off upset three years ago.

Verdict
Finally a win on the road, and with a stout running game and decent defence that limited Philly's high-powered offence all gives New Orleans great optimism of turning the tables on Seattle this time around. It's been said for a while though that the road to the Super Bowl would go through Seattle and after a week's rest and with the results already in the book you'd have to go for a home win and a home NFC title game next week for the Seahawks.
