I'm not arguing with you but OP is correct, it was just run across the ticker on the Giants/Bears game just now. So, either we are wrong or the NFL is wrong.

So Fox was wrong.

Saints go 0-4
Panthers go 4-0

Both would be 10-6 and the Panthers would have swept the Saints.

No title.

If Carolina wins out and we lose out, both teams are 10-6 and they have a head to head sweep. Our magic number is 1.

If somehow the Saints would fall and lose out they would miss the playoffs with a 10-6 record because they gotta win a game to make it.

The breaking news you saw on Fox was the Rams beating the Lions and clinching the NFC West.

We don't. If we lose out and Carolina wins out they'd get it. Any 1 win does though.

Goes by overall record not division record

In division it goes by:

Overall
Head to head
Division
Common games
Conference
SoV
SoS
Then a bunch of points stuff

And so people know where we may stand with the Rams, out of division goes:

Overall
Head to head
Conference
Common
SoV
SoS
Bunch of point stuff

So the only thing that matters with getting the 1 seed is finishing with the same record as the Rams.

Yes.

And as far as division, Saints only need to win 1 game to guarantee division title. Only chance Saints don't win division is if Saints lose out and Panthers win out.
