Do the Saints Have a Chance to Make the Playoffs?
Yes, the New Orleans Saints have a chance to make the playoffs. In fact, all teams still have a chance to make the postseason until mathematically eliminated. Based on their odds to make the playoffs with ESPN BET, the Saints playoff chances are at 53.5%.
Are the Saints Out of Playoffs?
No, the New Orleans Saints are not out of the playoffs. All teams still remain in contention for a playoff spot. Based on the implied probability of their odds on ESPN BET, the Saints have a 46.5% chance to miss the playoffs this season. In 2022, the first team to be mathematically eliminated from the playoff picture was the Houston Texans in Week 13, who held a 1-10-1 record.
Where Do the New Orleans Saints Rank in the NFC Standings?
The New Orleans Saints currently rank second in their division:
- Atlanta Falcons (5-6)
- New Orleans Saints (5-6)
- Tampa Bay Buccaneers (4-7)
- Carolina Panthers (1-10)
The Falcons currently own a tiebreaker over the Saints, which means if the season ended today, the Saints would not make the playoffs. The Falcons, meanwhile, would get the No. 4 seed due to winning the AFC South. Luckily for the Saints, they'll have one more opportunity to beat the Falcons in Week 18.
Where Do the New Orleans Saints Rank in the NFC Wild Card Race?
The Saints currently rank 10th in the NFC playoff picture, but only seven teams make the playoffs. New Orleans will need to jump back over .500 if it wants to nab a wild-card spot, though getting over .500 may be enough to win the division and grab the No. 4 seed.
Can the New Orleans Saints Get the No. 1 Seed?
Technically, yes, the New Orleans Saints could get the No. 1 seed in the NFC. However, they will have a pretty substantial uphill battle in order to get it done amidst the conference's top competitors. The top team is currently the Philadelphia Eagles who own a 10-1 record, much better than the Saints' record of 5-6.
Who to Root for if You're a New Orleans Saints Fan
If you're a New Orleans Saints fan, you'll (of course) be rooting for the New Orleans Saints and rooting against their NFC South rivals, including the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Carolina Panthers, and Atlanta Falcons. Since the division is set to play the AFC South (Jaguars, Texans, Titans, Colts) and NFC North (Bears, Vikings, Packers, Lions) in the regular season, you'll generally be rooting for these teams, too, in hopes that they can damper the win-loss record of your divisional rivals.
New Orleans Saints Postseason Outlook and Predictions
Given the success the New Orleans Saints found with the defense in Dennis Allen's first year as a head coach and the moves the team has made on offense, it feels very likely that the Saints will make the playoffs in the 2023 NFL season. Their path to playoff contention could come either by winning the NFC South or by securing a wild card spot thanks to the lack of highly competitive depth within the conference.
Even if the Saints do make the playoffs this season, it does feel unlikely that they make a deep run barring any significant injuries or trades. QB Derek Carr undoubtedly provides some stability at the quarterback position, but he's thrown for 30+ passing touchdowns just once over his NFL career. Since the 2020 season, Carr has totaled 37 interceptions and 13 fumbles lost, ranking top-five in both categories. All of that is to say that while Carr may be good enough to get them to the playoffs, he is not a quarterback without flaws that could impact their standing along the way.
