The way its looking (seeding concerned) (1 Viewer)

We are 3rd seed no matter what happens tomorrow night

Why? Doesn’t the win at Seattle matter?

 

[Saint Kamara]

If the Saints win tomorrow, does that drop Seattle to the third seed?

SF still would have division lead over Seattle and by tie breaker we are the 3 seed even with a win.

I feel pretty good about tomorrow night, but Tennessee is going to be very tough, and Carolina is going to play with nothing to lose and give the Saints everything they have.
Saints will end up the #3 seed in my opinion. And host a very dangerous Vikings team

Titans will definitely a problem, with running the ball with Henry and our Dline being depleted. We shall see. Panthers are not going to be a problem. Saints will beat the dog poo out of Panthers for last year’s spanking of Saints in the dome and them thinking they owned us.

Didn't Seattle beat SF in their game this year?

Incorrect. Seahawks have tie breaker over Niners. Seahawks are now 1 seed. Niners fall to wild card now as 5 seed.

Not yet. We don't want a 3-way tie with GB because we didn't play them. Then it reverts to Conference record and H2H doesn't matter.

Correction.

Actually Seattle beat SF, so we would be the 2 seed with a win.

Folks please go to the ESPN playoff machine site. It is there to play with all possible scenarios. And it is already currently updated with the updated standings.

NO...wrong! You have to go to the ESPN site to understand.

A GB loss gives us a bye.
Seattle winning out gives us the 1 seed.
We gotta win out starting with Indy

 

[RiverRat]

Why wouldn’t we be ahead of Seattle if we win tomorrow? Isn’t head to head the first tiebreaker?

If Saints win tomorrow GB 1 seed Saints 2 Seattle 3 Dal 4

Oh yeah. This happened to us once and we didn't make the playoffs even though we beat a team head to head. I remember the Vikings and Rams were involved somehow

And GB has to play an on fire, confident, loaded Vikings team in Minny! Regardless, there's 5-6 NFC teams that could easily make the SB. It will a brutal stretch for all contenders

If Saints win tomorrow GB 1 seed Saints 2 Seattle 3 Dal 4

No...again! SAINTS ARE 3 SEED NOW!
