But if the Falcons and Panthers tie and the Saints won wouldn't they be in?

Falcons would be 6 - 9 - 1

Panthers would be 6 - 8 - 2

Saints would be 7 - 9

6-8-2 is the same as 7-9, so Panthers must win the tiebreak.

Right, they split head to head but Panthers div record is better.

6-8-2 is the same as 7-9, so Panthers must win the tiebreak.

Wait, the math says different.

Saints - 7÷16=.4375

Panthers - 6÷14=.4286

Falcons - 6÷15=.400

So we still have a snowball's chance in hell!!! Yes!!!

From NFL tiebreaking procedures: NOTE: Tie games count as one-half win and one-half loss for both clubs.

So now the math will make more sense.

Your math is incorrect.

A tie = 1/2 win, so 2 ties = 1 win

Damn, I thought we'd have another chance to get another home loss.

I didn't know that the ties equalled a half win. Thanks for the info

It is crazy that a 6-win team could get a home playoff game against an 12-win team.
