Wouldn't surprise me at all if they're playing @ MetLife in February.
Was hoping for a Seahawks loss last night (that finish was such a tease), as you're right, either of Seattle or New Orleans would be very tough outs at home in the playoffs. Looking at the remaining skeds, Seattle has an easier finish to the season, with their only real tests being back to back games against New Orleans and San Fran. Saints can't afford many off-games the rest of the way if they want home field advantage. That Saints @ Seahawks MNF game on Dec. 2nd may very well be for the #1 seed.
...and yes, I was as surprised as you to see a non-Sunday match-up on the NFL sked that wasn't junk. Wow those have been epically bad so far.

And they are in the cupcake part of their schedule.
Looking forward, I truly do expect they finish with 11 wins and quite possibly 12. Spilt with Chicago, lose on Thanksgiving in Detroit, and maybe in Dallas if they get their D in order...but beyond that they have a bit if a breeze. Dont imagine that will be good enough for a 1 or 2 seed, but they will host a playoff game at the frozen tundra.
