Saints wont make PLayoffs?

from ESPN's John Clayton.....


NFC South: This division looks set up for the Panthers to emerge as the winners. They have the easiest remaining schedule (against teams with a record of 29-31). As long as they can get to eight or nine wins by Christmas Eve, they can take control of the division. They visit the Falcons on Dec. 24 and visit the Saints on New Year's Eve. The Saints and Falcons have tougher schedules. Five of the Saints' next six games are against teams with .500-or-better records. Three of the games -- against the Falcons on Sunday, the Cowboys on Dec. 10 and the Giants on Dec. 24 -- are on the road. The slipper could be falling off on the Saints' Cinderella season. The Falcons still have a chance if Michael Vick gets hot. Their tough games -- New Orleans, Dallas and Carolina -- are all at home. Don't count them out yet.
