Call it a gut feeling, but I think (personally) this is where the Saints' road woes end. Philly has been an unpredictable monster this year, but I expect Drew Brees to have a renewed sense of purpose in the playoffs. When he is driving a game he and that offence are almost unstoppable, and their experience on this stage may be the biggest attribute in this game. **
