New Orleans’ easiest path to the postseason is winning the division. This is reflected in the percentages above. The Saints would have a two game lead on the division, and it doesn’t seem like any team would be able to string together enough wins to close the gap.
A loss would put the Saints in second place. This isn’t an unsurmountable deficit. The division would remain well within reach. New Orleans could drop as low as the 11th seed, with potentially four teams with five wins.
