The New Orleans Saints host the undefeated Los Angeles Rams in what is easily the biggest matchup in the NFC this season and arguably the best matchup in the NFL this year. The winner takes sole possession of the top spot in the conference, while the loser may spend much of the season playing catch-up and fending off contenders for a first-round bye.
Despite more hype and hyperbole in other matchups, make no mistake, Saints/Rams is clearly the biggest game of the week, and arguably the biggest regular season game of the year. In fact, it would be far from surprising for this to only be the first meeting between these teams, as a playoff rematch could easily be in the stars for these teams.
