There are myriads of threads posted lately trying to figure out the tie breaker scenarios between the Saints and the Falcons.
It's really getting simple now:
1.) Assuming that the Saints will WIN all their remaining games (very tough task with two road games up north), the Falcons have to LOSE one other game besides their (assumed) home loss to the Saints on Monday night (Dec. 27th) for the Saints to take the division crown.
2.) Any additional loss by the Saints this year (not including the game in Atlanta) will require an additional loss by the Falcons. (If the Saints' additional loss would be the game in Atlanta, the Falcons would then have to lose three other games! Not likely when two of their last five is versus Carolina.) :scared:
If you don't want to think that far in advance, just remember...
If the Saints win in Cincinnati and the Falcons lose at Tampa Bay next Sunday (Go Bucs), the Saints will finally get to control their own destiny.
That would be VERY nice! :shy:
