re: If the Saints and Arizona both win on Sunday

Wait, if both the Cards and Saints win we'd still get the nod over Arizona, we won a direct contest with them. We'd have to lose and they'd have to win, it's the only scenario that would exclude us.

If we win, and they win, they would take the 6th seed and we would take the 5th seed, excluding the 49ers (because they lose the tiebreak to us and Arizona).disregard, I suck.
