Not the case now since the Vikings lost today. Now, if the Saints win out, no matter what happens with anyone else, they are in.

According to playoffstatus.com, the Saints still have a 70% chance of making the playoffs even if they drop a game. It's best if that game is to Miami as the conference record will determine the seeding in ties of 3 or more teams.

With both the Eagles and the 49ers, the big question is whether or not their opponents in week 18 (Cowgirls, Rams respectively) have anything to play for. Both are already in the playoffs. Cowgirls already won the division. Week 18 will be about seeding for each of them. One or both could decide they are good and rest their people week 18. That can impact the outcomes.

Absolute best scenario for the Saints is the Vikings put up a good showing next Sunday night and send the Packers packing. That would trigger each of the other three division winners (Sucks, Cowgirls, and probably Rams) to a full go week 18 trying to snatch that #1 seed from the Packers.

SFIAH neugey and AsylumGuido like this.
	Super Bowl Championships: New Orleans Saints:1, Carolina:0, Atlanta Chokers: STILL ZERO Only Atlanta choked in an unchokable situation... Life is definitely good.
