Here's how I see the NFC playoff picture shaping up.

Division winners:
CAR 12-4
STL 12-4
PHI 11-5
MIN or GB 10-6

Wild card:
DAL 10-6 (I'm expecting them to lose to NE tonight)
GB or MIN 10-6
Saints ? 10-6
SEA 9-7

That's based on looking at each team's remianing schedule. The Saints are going to just about have to run the table to squeak in. If they can make the playoffs, I don't see why they can't win a couple of post-season games. Why? Because the only way they will make the playoffs is if they get on a roll of playing consistently well.

Regarding the win over Atlanta, I'm not surprised this one was close. It's hard to get up for a team when you blew them out just a few weeks ago. Hopefully the Saints will be up for all the rest of their games, knowing they can't afford to lose any of them.
