Who Dats may finally get the game they've been clamoring for.
ESPN's Adam Schefter says he's hearing that, if the Rams win Super Bowl LIII, the Saints would likely open the 2019 regular season at the Rams in a Sunday night game in Los Angeles on NBC.
It would be the main event of NFL's Football Sunday 2019.
Too bad it wouldn't be in the Superdome.
Schefter says the league's regular-season opener in 2019 may well be a conference championship game rematch, no matter what happens in Super Bowl LIII.
He says a league source told ESPN that, if the Rams win the Super Bowl, they could host the Saints in the 2019 Kickoff game. And if the Patriots win on Sunday, they could host the Chiefs in the opener.
Schefter says there other options the NFL might consider -- the Seahawks and Bears as potential opponents for the Rams, and the Steelers, Cowboys and Browns for the Patriots.
But a conference championship game rematch would be among the favorites to be played to open the 2019 season, depending on what happens Sunday.
It would certainly be a favorite in New Orleans
Schefter says another source says there are no assurances that the Super Bowl champion will open the 2019 season at home. Because of the festivities surrounding the NFL's 100-year celebration, the league could opt to have the Super Bowl champ travel in Week 1, becoming the first defending champion to open on the road since the Ravens played at Denver to open the 2013 season.
