We are minutes away from the start of the game between Chicago and New Orleans. We'll bring you every detail of the NFC Wild Card.

Chicago will have to avoid ball deliveries, as they ended the regular season with a minus four, to be the tenth worst in the league.

Both offensively (fourth best) and defensively (sixth best) New Orleans dominates on both sides of the line and could be key to determining victory.

The Saints have two straight postseason losses, both in overtime: 2019, 23-20 in the NFC final against the Los Angeles Rams and 2020, 26-20 in the Wild Card against the Minnesota Vikings.

In this pandemic, the Bears have also appreciated the great work of doctors to help with the battle that is going on in the world with this pandemic.

Twice these franchises have been seen in the Playoffs and twice Chicago has come out on top, which New Orleans will be looking to break tonight.
 

New Orleans Saints players are already in the dome warming up before the Wild Card Game.

 

A three-win streak in the last four games, coupled with two losses at the end of the Arizona season, caused Chicago to make the playoffs.

They scored 12-4 and were undefeated in their division, causing them to end up in second place at the National Conference.

Various sources indicate that this would be Brees' last season in the NFL and, should he lose, this could be his last game of his career.

Chicago was one of two teams in the National Conference that did not have a winning record and entered the postseason. This is the first time a seventh-place franchise has entered the playoffs.

According to the bookmakers in Las Vegas, the Saints should have no problem eliminating Chicago as they are favored by 10 points.

Both Kamara and Thomas will be playing this afternoon in great news for the Saints.

Active:

Alvin Kamara 

Michael Thomas 

Chauncey Gardner-Johnson 

Deonte Harris 

Marcus Williams 

Patrick Robinson.

Ready are the Chicago locker rooms with their respective uniforms, here the case of the Montgomery running back.

A few moments ago, the Chicago Bears arrived at the Superdome to face their return to the Playoffs.

In the twilight of his career and in what could be his last game, Drew Brees wants to return to victory in the playoffs after a regular season that struggled with injuries and the inaccuracies of his long passes.

David Montgomery had a great campaign by land as he was the maximum reference of the team with 247 carries, for 1,070 yards and eight scores.

The Saints put on a great show last week to beat the Carolina Panthers 33-7 on home soil

Despite falling 35-16 at home to the Green Bay Packers, the Cardinals' defeat helped them advance to the playoffs.

Mitchell Trubisky is an expert at making ball deliveries, coupled with the fact that the team is the third best in terms of ball differential with +9, so if these two points come together they could tip the balance in New Orleans' favour.

Stopping Alvin Kamara and putting the game back on Drew Brees will be one of the possibilities for Chicago to get into the fight of the game.

According to the bookmakers in Las Vegas, the Saints are favored by more than eight points over the Bears and should have no trouble advancing to the next round.

The Chicago Bears vs New Orleans Saints match will be played at the Mercedes-Benz Superdome, in Louisiana, United States. The kick-off is scheduled at 4:40pm ET.
