[AR Saint]

Saints position = ( 4 - # wins in last two games )

Win 2, we are #2

Win 1, we are guaranteed #3 (we could be #2, but would need help)

Win 0, we are #4 with the possibility of being higher based on how Dallas, Philly, and Seattle finish.


I sure hope we end up with a bye...

Receiving a first round bye would be huge for this team.

Thanks for laying that out. In this time of obligatory overexposure to family, any information that is clear and reliable truly helps to reduce anxiety. Not to mention, the games themselves at this time of year are stressful enough. How often do we go from watching the games all season long in our own comfortable environments, to suddenly being thrown in front of the TV with so much at stake, and in the presence of idiot relatives or doubters and freakouters on every bad play. It's torture. Late December football requires all methods of self-medication.

Do yall know when each seed plays their games in the divisional round? I have a flight on the 13th (saturday) and if its the 2/3 game and not the 1/4 I'm out of luck.
