While pundits might say that we've got a very long row to hoe, here's how we stand:

SF (5-6)
A surprising team that might give the Saints fits if looked beyond. Not a great offense, not a great defense, but sound and they play to the whistle. This should be a win because they've been torched by capable qb's. Saints 31-17.

Dallas (7-4)
This game may determine whether the Saints have a bye in the first round. Another mobile qb, but unlike ATL, this guy can throw the ball and his receivers can catch. We can't win in a shootout.
Boys 38-31.

Skins (4-7)
Pride only goes so far. The Saints have too many weapons. Here's where the team hits 9-5.
Saints 31-14.

The GEE-Men (7-4)
Can you say home field for the 1st round? Gotta have this road game.
Saints 27-24

Punthers (6-5)
After that shocking loss to the Skins, who knows whether they'll be there at the end. Better bet they are and whomever wins, wins the division, the other gets a seat on the couch for the playoffs. 10-6 may not make it given that there are 11 teams in the NFC still in it.
Saints 24-14.

And 11-5 gives us a tie with the Cowboys, but they win the 1st tiebreaker and stay home for the 1st round. At least we win the division and get a home playoff game.

Come on D, don't make me look stupid.
