Week 11 matchups could hardly be better for us

St. Louis vs Carolina - somebody has to lose

Atlanta vs Baltimore - I just don't see Atlanta pulling this one out. They look like a team ready to mail in the rest of the season

Indy vs Dallas - Dallas has to play what looks to be the best team in the league.

Minny at Miami - Minnesota on the road against a much improved Miami team

NE vs GB - GB is quietly approaching .500, but they're catching the Pats at a bad time. They'll be looking to prove themselves this week, and the conditions won't bother them.

Chi vs NYJ - Who cares? Chicago is pretty much a lock for the playoffs, and given their remaining schedule, probably home field throughout.

Seattle vs SF - Seattle looks to be primed to take this division. Time to start rooting against St. Louis, and not worry about Seattle. A loss would be nice though.

Tenn vs Philly - OK, this isn't so good. Too bad Philly doesn't have a tougher game this week, though they still have to play Indy, Carolina, Dallas, NYG, and ATL (somebody has to lose x4).


Looks to me like a win for the Saints this week would be great and would put us on the cusp of a playoff berth, but a loss would be a disappointing setback, not a devastating one. Also, we've only lost to one NFC team thus far, and won't lose to one this week, which could be the deciding factor in a tiebreaker.
