Week 18 clinching scenarios for the New Orleans Saints: Highlights

The 2023 NFL season for the New Orleans Saints hasn’t been amazing, but it hasn’t been awful either.

If the Saints win and the Tampa Bay Bucs lose, they can win the NFC South.

Even if New Orleans doesn’t win the division, they can still qualify for the NFL Playoffs.

The New Orleans Saints have never had a particularly good or terrible NFL season in 2023.

They were consistently within one game of.500 from Week 3 to Week 12 until losing to the Detroit Lions in Week 13 dropped them to 5-7.

However, they quickly recovered, defeating the New York Giants and Carolina Panthers to level the score.

They fell to 7-8 after a loss to the Los Angeles Rams,

but this past Sunday they defeated the Tampa Bay Bucs in a thrilling game to go back to.

500 and maintain their chances of winning the NFC South and the No. 4 seed in the conference.

Dennis Allen & Company, however,

may still qualify for the NFL Playoffs as a wild-card club and make the playoffs for the first time in three seasons even if New Orleans doesn’t win the division.

Either way, though, they’ll require some assistance.

Let’s examine every game-winning possibility involving the Saints in Week 18.

In Week 18, the New Orleans Saints secure a spot in the NFL playoffs.

To get into the postseason, the Saints need to win and need some assistance.

The Saints need to beat or tie the Falcons in order to have any chance of making the playoffs,

regardless of what happens in any other game.

A defeat, akin to the one they suffered against Atlanta in Week 12, signifies instant elimination.

Regarding the NFC South, New Orleans needs to focus on its own issues and hope the Bucs somehow fall short against the Carolina Panthers,

who have the poorest record in the league (2-14).

The Saints’ strategy to win the NFC South

Falcons loss + Saints victory against the Buccaneers OR Buccaneers loss + Saints tie with the Panthers

Taking care of business against the Falcons will still be necessary for the Saints to secure a postseason position even if they don’t win the division.

However, they also require a loss by the Seattle Seahawks against the Arizona Cardinals and a loss by the Green Bay Packers against the Chicago Bears.
How the Saints get a postseason berth even though they don’t win the NFC South

Saints defeat Falcons + Seahawks draw nil or lose to Cardinals + Packers fall short of Bears in a tie OR Seahawks lose to the Cardinals + Packers lose to the Bears + Saints tie against the Falcons

With the way this season has gone, almost everything feels possible, even though the Saints only have a 30% chance of making the playoffs going into Week 18.
