If the season ended today...

Our current seed in the tournament is #2, as NO wins the tie breaker on "strength of victory".

Let's say we stay even on win/loss with the Saints from here on out, it's possible that that particular tie-breaker goes the other way, if we can put up some big-time points.

Home Field Advantage.

Still well within our grasp. :mrgreen:

Well we get them on a Monday Night game, thats going to be HUGE.

We beat the Saints and that sews up any tiebreakers because head-to-head is the first way the NFL tiebreaks.

I really think the best scenario is to keep winning games.

I'm happy as he'll with the win this week, but still not satisfied, especially not enough to start considering #1 seed.

I thought win-loss record in conference trumps strength of victory. Even if it were based on conference record, Saints would win that one too.

Odd thing here is that, looking at the NFL's rules, they give rules for tie-breaking within a division and for tie-breaks for Wild Card teams in different divisions, but I'm not clear on what they are for intra-divisional tiebreaks for seeding.

What they do have always puts head-to-head at the top of the list if applicable.

John Madden couldn't have said it better himself.
