Unless you are saying that the Saints at #6 could never even survive to play against Seattle, which is also possible.

Using the Yahoo Playoff Scenario Generator-- It looks like this to me:

Yes, you are correct. I had to write this out to get it in my head.

If Carolina wins on Sunday

They are the 2 seed and we are the 6 seed.

The 6th seed plays either the Bears, Eagles or the Lions in the Wild Card Round.

If we are the 6th seed and win in the Wild Card Round we will play Seattle in the Divisional Round.

If we win again, in the Divisional Round .... AND, if Seattle wins against either SF, Lions or Dallas ( LOL ), then we have the privilege of meeting them again at C-Link.

If we win on Sunday

We are the 2 seed and they are the 6th seed, which would mean the same scenario as above for Carolina.

The 2 seed plays the highest seed coming out of the Wild Card Round.

The only way for us to get the one seed now is if we win Sunday and SEA loses to the Cards AND the Rams. Which is not without possibility -- but -- yeah.
