Looking at the schedules...

Its good to be the "controller of your own destiny"... and not have to worry about what the teams in your division does as long as you "take care of business" on the field... but of course that's not always the case. So I'm looking at the remaining opponents, and I thing we might just have the smoothest course...

Carolina's remaining opponents:
Tampa Bay -
St. Louis -
at Washington
at Philadelphia
NY Giants
Pittsburgh
at Atlanta
at New Orleans

Atlanta's remaining opponents:
Cleveland
at Baltimore
New Orleans
at Washington
at Tampa Bay
Dallas
Carolina
at Philadelphia

Saints' remaining opponents:
at Pittsburgh
Cincinnati
at Atlanta
San Francisco
at Dallas
Washington
at NY Giants
Carolina

None of our games will be "easy", but we are playing the best ball of all the teams in the division, and their schedules are brutal.
