1. Saints 13-0
2. Vikings 11-2
3. Philadelphia 9-4
4. Arizona 8-5
5. Green Bay 9-4
6. Dallas 8-5
7. Giants 7-6
8. Falcons 6-7
9. San Fransisco 6-7
We've already clinched a playoff birth, a win clinches us the division, a win and Philadelphia loss clinches us a bye. We currently have an advantage in the tiebreaker against the Eagles (conference record) but it's impossible for us to end up tied with them and still have the tiebreaker edge since it means we would have lost 2 more NFC games. It's the same in reverse against the Saints, if the Vikings and Saints end up tied, the Vikings will own the tiebreaker.

Re: Playoff picture
Any preference on who to play? Do we want to play the Packers or avoid them?

Re: Playoff picture
New Orleans and Arizona both have great passing games and their O Lines can keep our D line off their QBs, so it'd be nice to avoid them both as long as possible. Atlanta is kinda scary because they can protect the QB and Redman has been mediocre, but I could see him lighting us up if given time. Giants can hurt us too for the same reasons. So those 4 w/ the passing games and protection schemes are probably the worst options compared to San Fran, Philly, and Green Bay who give up sacks more readily.

Re: Playoff picture
The Saints opened the door a little bit last night, but their last two games are fairly easy. It's going to be tough to catch them.

Re: Playoff picture
They still have a shot at #1 if the Saints lose their last two games.
