What looked like a possible playoff matchup just a few weeks ago has been reduced to loser gets mathematically eliminated from the NFC playoffs with the winner also holding that possibility. Â It is what it is.
The Saints come in a 5-8 while the Cardinals, who are 4-2-1 at home this season, are 5-7-1. Â They have to win out and hope the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Minnesota Vikings, and Green Bay Packers all lose out. Â In other words, no chance.
The Cardinals have made a great number of moves with their roster this past week with injuries and other events. Â How much the Cardinals play their regular starters remains to be seen over the last three weeks. Â Best guess is you will still see many of them up until the point math has officially ended their playoff chances.
