The 3rd tiebreaker is SAME opponent.

Vike have Panther in Week 14 and the Giant to end the year. Put an asterisk beside these games as Saint already have wins there.

Saint don’t play anyone we’ve beaten but have one remaining game against Panther in week 13

I 3rd it for c.c. Congrads c.c. my friend you get the job unless Freds starts crying or something. Lets just be healthy when playoffs arrive. We’ll still be home when playoffs start and likely a bye week.

I agree, Bismuth, especially with the lead the Saints already have over us in this capacity. Health in the playoffs is far more important than where the game is being played.

That being said, you know the Vikings will not bench the starters until the 4th quarter, so the Vikes will look to kill two birds with one stone. Jump to a huge lead early, rest the starters, AND gain some ground in the points scored area.

Carter, I believe you are referring to strength of schedule, which would be the next tiebreaker.

Wait a minute there Adam. Doesnt strength of victory mean the win loss % of the teams you beat?
And not how much win by.
Thats what I thought, but I could be wrong.

I don’t think home field advantage is important enough to worry about running up the score. Recent past playoff results don’t show any sort of advantage to having the #1 seed. I’d rather see the Vikings sit their starters (especially Favre) when the game is in hand rather than try to run up the score to try and influence which dome would host the NFC championship.

But I’m still hoping for plenty of blowouts.

bigjohnny,
You’re right, It would suck big time… If it did somehow happen, It would be nice if a wild card team would knock them out.

Happened to the Titians last year…
