No.
I hate talk about who is where when today is not December 31.
The media does this all the time.

Those who look like a sure thing, might not be and the opposite.
Football has strange things that happen.
I am not even just talking about the Saints or hoping about the Saints either.

Division lead is also calculated by overall all win/loss, inter-conference wins (NFC or AFC), points allowed per game etc.

Check this out 2012 NFL Regular Season Divisional Standings - National Football League - ESPN
See NFC north where the Vikings have a better Division record than the Bears, but the Vikes are also in 3rd place behind the Bears.

I can see at least 4 losses in that schedule.

Who you beat only matters in tie breaking procedures.... Until then all that matters is total W-L record.

To take the NFC South we would have to win out making us 11-5. And Atlanta would have to lose all but two (or less, for this scenario ill go with 2 wins) making them 10-6.

If win all but one we are 10-6. If that loss is to Atlanta then we have to tie breaking procedures. See sticky I posted for tie breaking procedures.

1st tie breaker is head to head. So the Saints and Falcons can finish with the same record and the Saints can win out if the beat them twice.
