The New Orleans Saints won against the Falcons and even though the Tampa Bay Buccaneers won the NFC South, are still alive in the playoff hunt. Of course, to make it at this point they would need some serious help in the afternoon window.
The game that they have the best chance of getting to fall their way is the Chicago Bears (7-9) over the Green Bay Packers (8-8). The Packers are three-point favorites at home, but the Bears will have some motivation as Justin Fields fights to show the team that he is the quarterback of the future.
The less-likely one that they also need to have happen is the Arizona Cardinals (4-12) over the Seattle Seahawks (8-8). The Cardinals are home underdogs by three points, but are coming off of a big win against the Philadelphia Eagles.
If the Bears and Cardinals win, the Saints make the playoffs as a wild card. If either team loses, their season is over.
