If I'm being honest, I think it's like 15%.

Am I wrong?

We'll win tonight, then beat the Falcons and at that point week 17 will be moot... 7-8 team resting starters haha

Nevermind, was hoping Falcons beat Panthers before we played in week 17.

Well we are Vegas favorites tonight
We will be Vegas favorites next weekend vs. Atl
And…wait for it, we will be favorites vs Tampa as well.

take all that FWIW but it's higher than 15%.

We will be favored in our last 3 games and we control our own destiny so I would say 15% is very low.


ETA: I just realized I posted exactly what the post above me said...

I think the Saints have about a 35-40% chance of making it. The opportunity is there, but the team has been so inconsistent.

And being favored in every game does not necessarily result in a high total percent chance. Numbers are funny that way. If we assumed a 51% chance to win each game:

51% to win tonight times 51% to win against ATL times 51% against TB = 13.265% chance to win all three.

I think of the 3 teams, New Orleans has the highest chance of success.

Carolina hosts Cleveland likely without Cam, if they lose that, they are pretty much done if the Saints win 2 of the next 3.

Atlanta is a half-game behind as of right now and the Saints are favored to win tonight.

Saints, despite the recent struggles at home are going to be favored to win next week at home against a horrid defense in Atlanta and Julio Jones playing injured at best if he plays in that game.


I'd say the Saints are 50/50 to make it as of right now. If they win, I'd say 60/40.

Atlanta and Carolina both around 25/75 right now.

Say what you want, but as piss poor as we've played I don't think we deserve playoffs. I'd rather get the better draft pick than get our arse kicked in the first week by Seattle....

Here come the comments....

Depends on Carolina dropping a game in this scenario.
