Give me the weak outdoors and intimidated Saints on the 2nd side of a back to back roadtrip before hosting the team that makes it out of a fierce battle in Carolina.
NFC Championship:
Green Bay vs Seattle after playing SanFran defense THEN Carolina defense on the road
OR
SanFran on 3rd consecutive ROAD game and tenderized by Carolina
OR
Carolina minus SteveSmith plus Kam Newton who we own and has never played in Seattle
That's the surest road to the Super Bowl
Our best chance would actually be by playing the toughest team first.

Despite it being bleacher report there are some facts in this
Home teams win
Regular Season- 57% of the time
Wild Card Game- 66% of the time
Divisional Round- 74% of the time
Conference Champ- 64% of the time
Divisional round is our best odds at knocking off a team. If this article bring anything to light is that laying a team like SF after games @ AZ, then @ GB, while us playing @ home and a bye week. Our team will be in peak physical shape ready for a match-up like this. If we have to play them in the NFC Championship they will be on a more even playing field. Not to mention they Play at GB Sunday night and we have the early game on Saturday. We will be coming off a bye week and either GB or SF will be coming off a shorter week.
Interesting and thanks for bringing something new for me to consider:
My quick take, though, is we run the risk, then, of playing SF/CAR b2b. Naw. I'd prefer saints followed by whoever survives in Carolina. I will take the team coming off addl road games when possible ESPECIALLY if it involves Carolina's Defense.
