And in the process, knock Atlanta out of the wild card race! (All of the NFC East teams that are in the mix own the tie-breaker against ATL)

The NFL just sent out the playoff scenarios for this weekend and the NFC South news here is the Saints have a chance to clinch a first-round by Sunday.

It can happen one of two ways. The first is very simple. A win or a tie in their game in Atlanta will do the trick.

If the Saints don’t win that game, they still can clinch a first-round bye. But that would take a Dallas loss or tie, plus a Philadelphia loss or tie, plus either a loss or tie by Arizona.

As far as clinching home-field advantage throughout the NFC playoffs, the Saints can't do it this week. But they've got a two-game lead on the Vikings.
