It’s actually not that simple. There’s a very real scenario where the Saints run the table to 10-7 and miss the playoffs.
The only way 10-7 gets us to the playoffs is if the Falcons go 9-8.
Wild card is more complicated but right now the only realistic spot is 7th seed currently owned by the Commanders. They are at 7 wins to our 4, with 6 games to play out.
