The New Orleans Saints kept their playoff hopes alive a little longer by knocking off the Cleveland Browns this week, but their odds are still very slim: according to FiveThirtyEight’s projections, the Saints have just a 6% chance of making the playoffs this season with their 6-9 record.
But there’s one important game left to play in Week 16’s slate, with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers traveling to face the Arizona Cardinals on Sunday night (kickoff is scheduled for 7:20 p.m. CT on NBC). The Buccaneers have a slim lead on the NFC South division title, but their 6-8 record makes that lead tenuous at best.
