What happens if we beat ATL at there place, and end up with the same record overall and in the division as ATL, how do they determine the division champ?

2 man sack races on alternating Sundays until a champion is crowned

That's actually what I was thinking, just couldn't remember the exact quote.

And if no clear winner emerges from all of this, a two-man sack race will be held on consecutive Sundays until a champion can be crowned.

common opponents records

Rather, record against common opponents, to clear up any ambiguity.
Assuming the Saints win in Atlanta and both teams win all their other games, ATL would win the South (and likely the 1 or 2 seed) as we would have gone 6-2 against common opponents (excluding division games) and they would have gone 7-1.
Saints need to win out and need the Falcons to lose another game aside from the game on 12/27, against any team.

Here are the playoff tie-breaking rules. Some of what was said is correct. If both teams win out minus Atlanta. Atlanta would win the tie breaker by the common games. Should Atlanta lose to Tampa or any other division game the saints can afford another loss besides not losing to ATL or any other division game.
TO BREAK A TIE WITHIN A DIVISION
If, at the end of the regular season, two or more clubs in the same division finish with identical won-lost-tied percentages, the following steps will be taken until a champion is determined.
Two Clubs
1. Head-to-head (best won-lost-tied percentage in games between the clubs).
2. Best won-lost-tied percentage in games played within the division.
3. Best won-lost-tied percentage in common games.
4. Best won-lost-tied percentage in games played within the conference.
5. Strength of victory.
6. Strength of schedule.
7. Best combined ranking among conference teams in points scored and points allowed.
8. Best combined ranking among all teams in points scored and points allowed.
9. Best net points in common games.
10. Best net points in all games.
11. Best net touchdowns in all games.
12. Coin toss
Three or More Clubs
(Note: If two clubs remain tied after third or other clubs are eliminated during any step, tie breaker reverts to step 1 of the two-club format).
1. Head-to-head (best won-lost-tied percentage in games among the clubs).
2. Best won-lost-tied percentage in games played within the division.
3. Best won-lost-tied percentage in common games.
4. Best won-lost-tied percentage in games played within the conference.
5. Strength of victory.
6. Strength of schedule.
7. Best combined ranking among conference teams in points scored and points allowed.
8. Best combined ranking among all teams in points scored and points allowed.
9. Best net points in common games.
10. Best net points in all games.
11. Best net touchdowns in all games.
12. Coin toss
