Surprised to see that the Saints are still mathematically in it

Saints and DA aside, the system is messed up. No incentive in the world for Carolina to try to beat anybody. Plenty of incentive to tank. The draft should be tweaked to provide a reason to play hard.

Normally yes, but Carolina traded their #1 pick to the Bears. You would think they would try to win, just to help deny the Bears the first overall pick. They have an incentive to play good and to win so that they deny the Bears the first pick and make that trade look even worse than it does now.
