The New Orleans Saints clinched their playoff berth weeks ago and then solidified themselves as a top NFC contender when they won the NFC South division on Christmas Day. As it stands, the Saints can be no lower than the third seed and still have a path to the number one seed. Obviously, it goes without saying that New Orleans would enjoy the first round bye, but it seems unlikely. In fact, FPI puts the Saints with a 68.9% chance to finish with the number two seed.
Working with those numbers, that means New Orleans will likely play in Wild Card weekend and those teams that they could face include the Arizona Cardinals, Los Angeles Rams, Chicago Bears and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
