Saints +225 to get #2 Seed

[BigDeem5]

They should go 3-0, if not 2-1. Only game they could lose is at home versus Falcons. San Fran has to play Pitt, go to Sea, and go to Stl. STL is a win, but both of the others are tough games.

+225 is great odds.

They use this tiebreaker:

1. Head-to-head, if applicable.
2. Best won-lost-tied percentage in games played within the conference.
3. Best won-lost-tied percentage in common games, minimum of four.
4. Strength of victory.
5. Strength of schedule.
6. Best combined ranking among conference teams in points scored and points allowed.
7. Best combined ranking among all teams in points scored and points allowed.
8. Best net points in conference games.
9. Best net points in all games.
10. Best net touchdowns in all games.
11. Coin toss.

good point robin, but i odnt think 49ers will beat steelers and i think saints will win their next 3.

Big Ben is banged up and if he can't play or if he plays hurt that gives the 49ers a big advantage. They won't lose against Charlie Batch. Also, the Falcons Saints game will be a war.

Not good odds, and this is why.

Most likely they will end up with the same record at the end of the year. If that's the case, San Fransisco gets the number 2 as I understand it from this rule...

TIE-BREAKING PROCEDURE FOR SELECTION MEETING
If two or more clubs are tied in the selection order, the strength-of-schedule tie breaker is applied, subject to the following exceptions for playoff clubs:

1. The Super Bowl winner is last and the Super Bowl loser next-to-last.
2. Any non-Super Bowl playoff club involved in a tie shall be assigned priority within its segment below that of non-playoff clubs and in the order that the playoff clubs exited from the playoffs. Thus, within a tied segment a playoff club that loses in the Wild-Card game will have priority over a playoff club that loses in the Divisional playoff game, which in turn will have priority over a club that loses in the Conference Championship game. If two tied clubs exited the playoffs in the same round, the tie is broken by strength of schedule.

If any ties cannot be broken by strength of schedule, the divisional or conference tie breakers, whichever are applicable, are applied. Any ties that still exist are broken by a coin flip.




Basically, the non-playoff team gets the number 2 seed in the tie. Correct me if I'm wrong.
Also, San Fransisco has won their division while New Orleans hasn't clinched theirs yet.

That is for tiebreakers for the NFL draft, not for the playoffs.

Anyway, OP, that is a good bet.
