Wow, that's very doable. I think going 6-2 will be tough. I also think we lose at Falcons and Giants, but that Niners game at home will make or break our season IMO all else held equal.
Also, well be in the clear over Philly, but since we're not playing Seattle head to head, idk about them. The West division is where I'm most worried about losing the last WC spot to.

If we get into a tiebreaker with Seattle, its very important we beat SF in terms of common opponents. Seattle would win that TB because of their win over GB and consequently our loss to GB

Losing your first game in the Playoffs as a #1 seed isn't fun, but you know the feeling. Am I right?

So the Detroit Lions, who have won 3 of 4, are going to win 1 game out of the final 8? And finish 5-11?

I think your picks for the Saints out to the rest of the season are realistic, except I would swap SF and NY. We seem to have the Giants number lately and ....well I just hope I'm wrong about SF, but I see no good coming of that game

I rather like SF coming to the dome.
I think we take them.
The cold is the biggest factor when it comes to the NY game.

Better to have lost to AFC than NFC.
And true, beating the Niners will be key if we get in a tie with Seattle.
If by somehow we do get the last spot, all we have to do is get past the first round and we have a chance to know the Dirty Birds out of the playoffs

True.
5 of their last 7 are in Detroit though.

Wow. Great work.
I've been thinking we need 10-6, but looks 9-7 may actually do it.
I think all of those are reasonable picks.
Seattle, Detroit, and Tampa are key. And they all play late games where teams may be resting starters.
Wish we had that second ATL game week 17. That would be awesome with them resting everyone.
Great job

The Saints will not beat Atlanta twice and they are also not going to beat the 49ers, so 8 wouldn't hold my breath on your prediction.
