Chance to make the playoffs: 99.1%
If the season ended today: 3-seed, vs. Vikings While the Saints are in third in the NFC behind the 49ers and Packers (who hold the tiebreaker over the Saints by virtue of a superior record in the conference), FPI actually projects New Orleans as the most likely NFC team to make the playoffs and have the highest expected seeding in the postseason. The 49ers have a better chance of finishing as the top seed, given that they're at 31.4% in FPI's simulations in comparison to the Saints at 28.4%, but Shanahan's team also loses its division lead and falls into a wild-card spot 30.8% of the time.  The Saints, on the other hand, have greater than a 98% chance of winning the South with six games to go, meaning that there's virtually no chance they'll have to settle for a wild-card berth. They're huge favorites to finish as the third seed, which is where they land in 36.1% of FPI's simulations. The 3-seed would give the Saints a home game in the wild-card round and a possible conference title game at home if the 1-seed loses in the divisional round. more on ESPN Attached Thumbnails

Re: Chance to make the playoffs: 99.1%
No way the 49ers win out and get the top seed. That will surely go to the Saints or Packers. In any case, we need to be #1 simply because nobody wants to go to Green Bay to play the NFC Championship game.
49ers Schedule - Lucky to go 3-3 At the Ravens, Saints and Seahawks... vs Packers 11/24 7:20 PM NBC @ Ravens 12/1 12:00 PM FOX @ Saints 12/8 12:00 PM FOX vs Falcons 12/15 3:25 PM FOX vs Rams 12/21 7:15 PM NFL @ Seahawks 12/29 3:25 PM FOX Seems I missed one of my calling in life.
