How I think rest of Season will play out.

SaintSproles · 11-19-2013, 12:25 AM

FYI to those interested in the tie-breaking scenario.

If the Saints would lose to Seattle and split with Carolina, and Carolina wins out, the tie breaker goes all the way to conference record, which would favor the Saints at 10-2 vs Carolina 9-3.

So Carolina pretty much has to sweep us to win the division.

Saints at 12-4 get the all important #2 seed.

we are one game up in the division with a division game come up this week. thats as far ahead as i can look.

so far so good getting to this point but the walking wounded count is getting pretty big. lets get out of the falclowns game healthy

To me there's not really much difference between the #1 and #2 seeds. It's the difference between #2 and #3 that matters to me, the extra game and the week's rest and the home field. I personally think we will end up no better than #2 behind Seattle, because Seattle's remaining schedule is a gift-wrapped tiptoe stroll through the sugar-coated cupcake garden. They will be this year's team to end up a puffed up 14-2 with an overblown sense of self-confidence, just like we've already seen from this thread.

I agree, the only problem is for a Dome team is this puts the NFCCG in Seattle in late January.
Of course on that note the SB is early February in N.Y..
Both suck.

Ah, but that assumes that the Seahawks will win their games, to be able to host the championship. A lot can happen in the playoffs. Yes the Seahawks are very good at home, they have a VERY strong home field advantage. But if they're the #1 seed, before they get to host us, they will NOT be playing games against the Vikings, Titans or Jaguars at home, when they get to the playoffs.

Looks like they'll be playing a team like Carolina, Detroit, Philly or perhaps San Fran.

I'd imagine they don't wanna play San Fran in the playoffs.

look in the mirror and you will see the difference between the two and the best chance of getting to the superbowl. home sweet home

2 of the last 3 NFC #1 seeds have lost in the Divisional Round, allowing the #2 seed (or highest seed available) to have home field in the NFC CG

I agree with the #2 seed being almost as valuable as the #1 seed

I could live with this scenario. It's gonna be hard to get the #1 otherwise.

If Denver and Seattle make the sb as 1 seeds, then this season should be forfeited because there is NO way Wilson is getting that Lombardi over Manning.
