Re: Saints will take division lead over next 3 weeks

How exactly does the tie that Carolina has, figure into things? It would suck if that somehow ends up screwing up the Saints. Does it count as half a win? If the Panthers go 9-6-1 and the Saints go 9-7, who wins the division there? I still haven't wrapped my head around all this yet.

Carolina wins the division in that scenario.

They go by win %. A tie simply doesn't figure into the %

Saints finish 9-7, Carolina 9-6-1, Carolina wins it
Saints finish 9-7, Carolina 8-7-1, Saints win it

It's half a win, half a loss. In the above scenario the panthers would have 6.5 losses and the Saints 7. Works in their favor.

Of course the opposite is true too. Saints are 9-7, panthers are 8-7-1, then they have 7.5 losses to our 7...

But the simplest thing is to beat them twice starting a week from Thursday.

9-6-1=9.5/16=.593 Win %
9-7= 9/16=.562 Win %

Higher Win percentage wins.

You get 1 point for a W. 0 points for a L. .5 points for a T
