The San Francisco 49ers are playing the waiting game. While the team has admitted this week that they are preparing for the New Orleans Saints, an opponent they have not yet played this season, they will have to wait until the dust settles to see who they will face on January 14 at Candlestick Park.
Tonight at 5:00 PM, the Detroit Lions, the only NFC Wildcard team that the 49ers cannot play next week, will travel to New Orleans to face the Saints. Should the Saints, who are favored, win the game, they will be San Francisco's January 14 opponent. Should the Lions pull off an upset, the 49ers will have to wait until tomorrow to see who their opponent will be.
Tomorrow at 10:00 AM, the Atlanta Falcons will travel to the New York Giants. If the Lions were to win tonight's game, this matchup would determine who the 49ers face on January 14.
