12

12 wins = NFC South Champs

No matter what else happens, we get to 12 and we win the NFC South.

Even if the Saints and Falcons both finish 12-4, it would come down to the 3rd tiebreaker (common games) since the head-head and divisional records would be the same. We would have the same results as the Falcons in common games with the exception of the Bears game - we beat them and ATL lost.

Throw in 1 Cowboys loss with 12 Saints wins and we are guaranteed no worse than the #3 seed.

How we played last night I will have to agree with you. We should win out the remainding teams should not beat use. Now the Falcowns game will be a tough game for use but we should win that game and I will be there can't wait.

We don't stump our toe with turnovers and we can run the table...

Yep, run the table, and hope the 49ers stumble badly down the stretch. Its possible that Alex Smith reverts to his old self and loses games for them. Then we could get the 2nd seed which would be very sweet.
