New Orleans Saints
The Philadelphia Eagles host the San Francisco 49ers in the second of three Wild Card playoff games today. This is a matchup of the two NFC Champions over the past three years. This matchup should be a good way to continue the second day of the 2026 NFL Playoffs!

The Jacksonville Jaguars host the Buffalo Bills in the first of three Wild Card playoff games today. Buffalo enters this game as a slight road favorite, while Jacksonville comes in as the AFC South Champion with a chip on their shoulder. This matchup should be a fun start to the second day of the 2026 NFL Playoffs!

New Orleans Saints’ wide receiver Chris Olave has been named a member of the 2025 AP NFL All-Pro Second-Team Offense. The recognition comes after the star wideout burst onto the scene as the top pass catcher in New Orleans with career highs across the board in his fourth year in the league. While this marks the first time that he has received the All-Pro nod, it only just solidifies what Saints fans have known and the rest of the NFL is coming to realize- Olave is him.
Just a year ago, Olave played in just eight regular-season games after suffering...

The Chicago Bears host the Green Bay Packers in the second of two Wild Card playoff games today. These two NFC North arch-rivals have the longest-standing rivalry in the NFL and the next chapter continues here. These teams split the season series, including a Game of the Year contender in Week 16, but this rubber match is clearly the most important game of all. This matchup should provide a great end to day one of the 2026 NFL Playoffs!

The Carolina Panthers host the Los Angeles Rams in the first of two Wild Card playoff games today. Carolina enters this game having backed into the NFC South title, while Los Angeles dropped from first in the NFC to fifth, by losing two of their last three games. This is a rematch of one of the most surprising upsets of the season, when Carolina upset the Rams at home in Week 13. This matchup could provide a great start to start the 2026 NFL Playoffs!

The 2025 New Orleans Saints season is over and while some teams are looking toward the playoffs, the Saints are already looking to build upon the momentum they had at the end of the season even finishing 6-11. In a rebuild year, they have started to build a pretty solid foundation with Kellen Moore, who seemed to find his franchise quarterback and potential offensive rookie of the year Tyler Shough in the 2nd round of last year’s draft and also in Brandon Staley, who completely turned the defense around this season led by a rejuvenated Chase Young, Demario Davis and...

The 2026 NFL Playoffs are upon us, and unfortunately, the New Orleans Saints are once again not among this year’s playoff field. Even without the Saints in the playoffs this year, there are quite a few players to root for, and teams to root against. We certainly have some interesting matchups this weekend, so let’s take a look at each game as well as which teams will be moving on to the Divisional Round next weekend.
Last week I went 7-9
I told you so: Vikings over Packers!
What do I know: Panthers over Bucs?

“The Saints became far more competitive down the stretch in Kellen Moore’s first season, showing tangible growth with the move to QB Tyler Shough and finishing the campaign as a surprisingly effective team on defense. The four-game win streak was snapped by Week 18’s loss to Atlanta, one that highlighted some real issues on special teams. The Saints won’t compete for the playoffs next season unless they make major fixes to that element of the operation, and there are some aging veterans and long-time fixtures on each side of the ball whose futures remain...
