If they can play they play.
We will need the point differential if it comes down to that... Presently it's only 2 points between us and iCarlyiana

No rest for the wicked......
Killem all and let God sort them out.
Thursday we fight in the shade.
We will grease our tanks with their guts.

And so on and so forth.

Is there even a chance that comes into play? I haven't delved into the tiebreakers too much other that seeing someone breaking it down that the Saints would get the tiebreaker in conference record if we lose to Seattle and split with Carolina and Carolina win out otherwise (both 12-4).

A Carolina loss to Miami would rule out that conference tie breaker since they would have 2 losses to the AFC as well.

Seems like strength of victory or strength of schedule would break the tie.

Strength of victory:

New Orleans = Opponents have 36 wins
Carolina = Opponents have 27 wins

If you factor in the scenario with Saints losing to Seattle and Carolina winning out (not counting the split between the 2 teams):

New Orleans = Opponents have 40 wins
Carolina = Opponents have 36 wins

Strength of schedule only relies on 2 games (other 14 opponents are the same):

Saints = Cowboys (5-5), Chicago (6-4)
Carolina = Giants (4-6), Minnesota (2-8)

So we have a 5 game lead there. Looks safe in the Saints corner.
