6th WC seed plays the 4th seed divisional champ.
5th WC seed plays the 3rd seed divisional champ.
So if Saints are no. 5 they most likely play Chicago. Then Phi then ATL. as it is now.

no

No.....#5 wildcard plays #4 division champ

Going back to the topic, the NFC South might be well represented in the playoffs. Nice to see since the whole world hugs on the NFC East every year...

I know, one week at a time and all... but if this scenario happens:

What we need is for the Ravens to knock off the Bucs today and then the Bucs to take out the Falcons next week. Couple those with a Saints win next week and all will be right in the world again.

... we could easily control our own destiny for the No. 1 Seed (I haven't yet figured out the potential tiebreaker w/ Chicago, though).

If nothing else, it shows how crowded it is at the top w/ 5 games left. A bit different from last year when us & Indy were coasting undefeated.
