Saints- the Rams have the better pass rush and that has always been our Achilles heel in big games.
I'm torn, almost 50-50
Reasons to want the Saints
-Brees is likable and formerly was way underappreciated
-NO fan base seems for the most part loyal and not jerk-like, whereas LA doesn't care
-Less of a running threat than LA, though still good
-More O-line problems
-No beastly nasty D-line guys to the level of Donald and (to a lesser extent) Suh
Reasons to want the Rams
-Goff is way more mistake-prone, less clutch, and more likely to wilt than Brees
-Rams in the dome in ATL is not as normal to them as it would be to NO
-Probably very little fan support in ATL, whereas NO travels well
-They are not the same team without Kupp, though they still are deep
-They are less likely to overcome a deficit. Who would you rather give the ball to, 2 minutes left, with them down 3, Brees or Goff? Goff, easily.

One thing that I would add is the Rams two-headed rushing attack. Gurley is already a load at 225 lbs, but C.J. Anderson has looked like Jerome Bettis back in his prime, lately. The dude looks like he put on about 20 lbs of muscle while he was out of football.I'm torn, almost 50-50
