Thats quite interesting...great find! I dont really feel like checking out how they came up with those numbers, but I do know they are at least detailed enough for me to not want to waste too much time checking

Great thread! Saints are playoff bound!

7 more wins absolutely guarantee the playoffs, let's shoot for that. Very nice post.

7 more wins guarantees first round bye, 2 key losses by Chicago and we have a chance for home field advantage.

As of right now @ 6-3 we have a 89% chance of making the playoffs.

The Panthers only have a 40% chance of making the playoffs while the Falcons only have a 42% chance.

I'd temper the Panthers chances with Steve Smith's health. I don't have the find my reserach right now, but the Panthers have an incredible win % over the past few seasons when Steve Smith plays. When he's out they have a low win percentage. Smith is the "X" factor.

I don't understand this one. If we win 7 of 7 we stand an 82% for #2.
If we win 6 of 7 we have an 86%???? I would think that would be the other way around. Any help on this???

This would be great, but let's just focus on this weekend right here. We have a chance to get some seperation with a W tomorrow. Being that Atl play the Ravens and the Panthers having a tough one against the Rams, they both could lose. This is a great opportunity for us to pick up a game on both of them.

Because we also have an 18% chance of a #1. 82+18=100. With the other scenario, the other percentages were split up amongst #1, #3, #4 etc.

Another way of saying this is if the Saints win the rest of their games they have a 100% chance of being 1 or 2. If they win 6 the % of being 1 or 2 drops to 90 percent. The reason your chance of being #2 is reduced is because you have a higher chance of being number #1.

Kentish Man, this is off-topic...but tell me about the avatar pic that you are using. For some reason, I feel that there is a story behind it.

Thanks, Sazerac

Sazerac,

It would be more interesting if this was my grandfather and grandmother after a tiger hunt in India in the 1920's. But I'm afraid I just did an internet search for a dead tiger and this was one picture that popped up!
