I don't understand why the Giants have to lose 3/4? I thought head-to-head was the first tie breaker. If they lose to us and Atlanta that puts them at 9-7 same as the Saints (assuming Saints win out).
Isn't tie breaker order
1) head to head
2) conference record
3) common opponents or whatever

I used the playoff machine and here's my list of the best scenario the Saints have of making the playoffs
Week 14:
1)Saints @ Giants - Saints
2)Bears @ Vikings - Vikings
3)Cowboys @ Bengals - Bengals
4)Doesn't help us but realistically let's assume Bucs and Seahawks win, Redskins lose
Week 15:
1)Giants @ Falcons - Falcons
2)Pack @ Bears - Pack
3)Bucs @ Saints - Saints
4)Seahawks @ Bills - Bills (Cross country and down starting corners)
5) Redskins @ Browns - Redskins
Assume vikes and cowboys win
Week 16 (best week for saints to catch up)
1)Saints @ Cowboys - Saints
2)Giants @ Ravens - Ravens
3)Vikings @ Texans - Texans
4)49ers @ Seahawks - 49ers
assume packers, redskins, bucs, and bears win
Week 17
1)Panthers @ Saints - Saints
2)Bears @ Lions - Lions
Assume all other worstcase scenario relevant NFC teams win
Final Records
Saints 9-7 6th seed
Seahawks 9-7 5th seed
Skins 9-7
Giants 8-8
Bucs 9-7
Vikings 9-7
Bears 9-7

If it was just two teams tied at 9-7, thats how it would play out. But there will more than likely be 3-4 teams at 9-7. Head to head is "Applicable only if one club has defeated each of the others or if one club has lost to each of the others". None of that will be the case. NYG wins next tie break over New Orleans based on best win percentage in conference games.
