We actually own the tie-breaker over the Saints. Playoff tie-breakers go in this order:
1. Head-to-Head
2. Division Record
3. Common Games
4. Conference Record
5. Strength of Victory
6. Strength of Schedule
7. Combined Ranking Among Conference Teams (points scored and points allowed)
8. Combined Ranking Among All Teams (points scored and points allowed)
9. Net Points (common games)
10. Net Points (all games)
11. Net Touchdowns (all games)

The only teams we have faced in common are Tampa Bay and the E-gals.
Tampa beat NO twice, and us once. The E-gals beat NO and split with us. So we own the common games tie-breaker over the Saints by virtue of our 1-2 record against those teams as opposed to their 0-3 record against the same teams. The Saints also still play Arizona and Chicago, but since we beat those two teams, they can't improve their record against common teams by winning either of those games. This means the Redskins already control their own destiny after this week's games. If we win out, we are in.

From NFL.com:

If it is necessary to break ties to determine the two Wild-Card clubs from each conference, the following steps will be taken.

1. If the tied clubs are from the same division, apply division tie breaker.

2. If the tied clubs are from different divisions, apply the following steps.

Two Clubs

1. Head-to-head, if applicable.

2. Best won-lost-tied percentage in games played within the conference.

3. Best won-lost-tied percentage in common games, minimum of four.

4. Strength of victory.

5. Strength of schedule.

6. Best combined ranking among conference teams in points scored and points allowed.

7. Best combined ranking among all teams in points scored and points allowed.

8. Best net points in conference games.

9. Best net points in all games.

10. Best net touchdowns in all games.

I'm watching this crap on TV, and its like New Orleans is practicing against these clowns. They've had scoring drives of 99 and 95 yards. The Falcons suck, and I wish we didn't have to root for them.
