No, still Saints leader cause they won the first game against Falcons.
Our opp. are the Falcons and Cowboys/Giants.

Actually no. The Saints have beaten ATL already at ATL which is huge. The Saints also own a 3-1 divison record compared to 1-2 with ATL. So, with the loss, Saints will still be in first. But yes, you want the Saints to win the division. That is critical. Personally, as long as the Bears finish with ten wins, they should be in good shape. The Lions are going down and down fast. ATL will be there until the end. Dallas and the Giants have to play each other twice still, and that might bode well for the Bears and ATL. I only see one team from the east coming out, and both the Giants and Cowboys are overrated and always good at laying eggs.

You’re right JDM-I hadn’t looked close enough; thought the Giants would be a full game up. But correct, with a win the Giants are still behind the Bears. However correct me if I’m wrong, but to me it looks like with a Giants win, Atlanta then leads the NFC South and the Saints go to the top wildcard with the Bears then as the final seed, correct? I don’t like that scenario…

Roy, how would the Bears drop? The Giants have four conference losses and the Bears only have three. The Giants won’t move into first place either because they have two division losses and the Cowboys only have one.
