After 12 games, the NFC looks like this:

NFL Standings - 2006

z- Chicago 10 2 0
New Orleans 8 4 0
Dallas 8 4 0
Seattle 8 4 0
Carolina 6 5 0
NY Giants 6 6 0
Atlanta 6 6 0
Philadelphia 5 6 0
St. Louis 5 7 0
Minnesota 5 7 0
San Francisco 5 7 0

One more win by the Saints ensures that SF, Minn and STL can't squeeze out the Saints for a wild card by virtue of superior conference record/head to head. If Philly loses tonight, one more win guarrantees a Saints playoff birth.

Two more wins, one of them against Carolina guarrantees a Divisional crown based on a superior conference record.

Only winning out ensures a 1st round bye. Seattle has an easy schedule and doesn't play the Saints.

As I said weeks ago we will be cheering for them the rest of the season.
If Philli beats Carolina they not only give us a 2 game lead in the division but in the playoff race.
