So we are 8-2 with 3 game lead. Have we wrapped up the divvy?

Not yet. The magic number is now 4. The Saints can knock a couple more off that next week with a win. With 4 more wins the Saints gets to 12, which the Kitties can no longer reach with 5 losses. With a Saints win next week, the Kitties can't do better than 10-6 and the Saints would then only need 2 wins to get to 11.

Technically since the Clowns and the Yucks have only 7 losses in the loss column until the Saints get to 9 wins for the Yucks, and 10 for the Clowns, those two are still in it for the division.

But with a win next Sunday, the Saints could possibly clinch the Sunday after that after the hopefully inevitable beatdown of the Clowns on Thanksgiving.

Honestly though, the real competition is still the collection of the 9ers, Pack, Vikes, and Hawks in the NFC. Each has 8 wins at the moment. So the NFC is wide open. But we already have a win on the Hawks, still play the 9ers, and each of them still play one another down the stretch. So it's going to be a roller coaster.
