I'm pretty sure this is spot on.

ATL is already 4-0 in division. 4-1 with loss @Saints.

Saints need to win out division ONLY for guaranteed division championship. 3-1 with a loss to CHI does it, even if ATL goes 3-1 as well.

But I'll also add the Saints could lose one division game, but still go 3-1 (beating CHI) and hope Carolina beats ATL week 17.

Good point, but I don't want to pin our playoff hopes on us having to beat the Bears on a Monday night AND having the Panthers beating the Falcons in Atlanta in Week 17.

Man, I don't think Carolina wins another game this season, they are a mess offensively, and their defense is nowhere near as good as they were last year. Cam Newton is playing behind a patchwork offensive line and only has one decent receiver to throw to, who is a rookie (Kelvin Benjamin) Carolina didn't know what they had in Brandon LaFell and now he's tearing it up in New England. They thought Steve Smith was done, but he's having a great year in Baltimore.

most likely scenario to me is ATL drops the next two @GB and vs. PIT...Pitt has a lot to play for and has looked very good at times.

...then Saints win any 3, and we're in with a better record.

ATL gonna lose to PIT before they lose to CAR, imo
