Yes, if everyone in the NFC wild card race finished 9-7, the Saints are in. They have the tie breaker over all of the other teams in the race due to divisional record. That would be a great accomplishment after starting out 0-4 and losing some key players.
The first round matchup could be very winnable, but like you stated, the Saints need to handle their business first. Favre/Jennings/Lee etc. at Lambeau would be bit too much.
One more thing... Don't tell anyone, but we've got a top 5 receiver on our hands. #12 is a stud.
