Week 17 (Sunday, December 31) at the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, 1 p.m. ET: L.A.

Week 18 TBD vs. Atlanta Falcons: W

Final record: 8-9

If the Saints are going to win the South, they need to come out of this bye strong, making the Week 12 game in Atlanta pivotal. Four of the top six are on the road, so they might dig an early hole. They won Minnesota in Week 10, one of the best wins of any NFC South team. Whether or not the Saints could avoid stumbling against lesser opponents would decide whether or not they would be late in the chase.
