So I'm not delusional and I don't have high hopes that the Saints will make a late season push and make the playoffs. With that said, I don't think it's impossible that we do so. Obviously, we would need to win the division as I don't think 9-7 gets the wild card. I know the Saints haven't won 4 in a row since like 2013 which is ridiculous but all you need is a fighting chance.
For this exercise, let's just say that we win out and get to 9-7. We would then need to make up 2 games on both the Falcons and the Bucs.
We play Tampa twice so we don't need any outside help as if we beat them twice, we would have the tie breaker and be ahead of them in the standings. Outside of us, they play at Dallas and are home for Carolina. They could easily drop 1 or both of those games.
Atlanta plays at St Louis, home for San Francisco, and at Carolina. They would need to drop 1 of those games to set up a week 17 game for the division.
The only other game we have is at Arizona which worries me because I don't know if we can stop David Johnson.
All I'm saying is it starts with a win tomorrow. Let's Go Saints!
