Lets start with coaching Pete Carroll is a moron :142smilie
Sean Payton is a genius :0074
Russell Wilson is 1-1 in the playoffs with 572 yards 3 TDs:scared
Drew Brees Play off record Playoff record: 6-4 . With a Superbowl win. :0074
Seahawks crush the Saints earlier this year. So what . Who cares . It's playoff time
The last time the Seattle Seahawks won a divisional playoff game 2006:142smilie
1. Experience. Drew Brees playoff resume speaks for itself. He's 6-4 in the postseason with a Super Bowl victory. His stats in the playoffs alone resemble a season for a Pro Bowl QB with 3,230 passing yards 23 TDs and only 6 INTs and a 67% completion percentage. Russell Wilson is 1-1 in the playoffs with 572 yards 3 TDs and an INT. EDGE SAINTS.
2. Number One Seed Pressure. The expectations to win in the playoffs have taken a toll on most #1 seeded teams. In fact, in the last 10 years only 6 out of 20 #1 seeded teams have made it to the Super Bowl. That's a 70% failure rate for #1 seeds in the playoffs. EDGE SAINTS.
3. Coaching. Pete Carroll's postseason record combined with both the Patriots and the Seahawks is less than stellar. He is 2-4 in the playoffs for a .333 win percentage while Sean Payton boasts a 6-3 playoff for a .667 win percentage. EDGE, you guessed it, SAINTS.
4. What Home-Field Advantage? For most of the last decade, home field advantage hasn't been that advantageous. For instance, in the last eight years in the Divsional Playoffs alone, the home team is 18-14 for a measly win percentage of .562. The Seahawks gain the edge here but only by a mere .063 percent. I'll call it a push.
Last chance to cash in my final doggy handout :mj23:
If you're smart, you'll play these games yourself
