The LA Rams will visit the New Orleans Saints to battle it out for the NFC Championship Sunday afternoon. I like the home team to win and cover the spread.

The Rams ran over Dallas' defense (literally) with 273 rushing yards in last weeks' 30-22 win, but they're up for a tougher task here against a New Orleans defense that was No. 2 in the league against the run during the season.

It's also worth noting the "Dome Advantage". The Saints have gone 6-0 in playoff games in the Superdome during the Sean Payton/Drew Brees coach/QB combo and they beat LA 45-35 here in the Superdome on Nov 11. Brees carved up the Rams' defense for 346 yards passing and four TDs in that matchup and should have another big game here.

Saints are 25-7 ATS in their last 32 home games vs. a team with a winning road record. Rams are 21-45 ATS in their last 66 road games vs. a team with a winning home record.

8* play on New Orleans Saints.
