Atlanta 21-20.

If we lose the division to them, but make the playoffs, NO and ATL will play each other in the first round while we head West to LA. I’ll take our chances there

If Atlanta lose this game and we win against Tampa, we'll be at 5 and travel to NO if they stay at 4. 4 vs 5 and 3 vs 6. If Saints keep winning and Rams lose out, then yeah at 5 we'll play Rams at 4

Atlanta might not want to lose, they have quite a few teams on their heels

I would much rather play the Rams than the Saints.  I do not know how good we actually are.  I do not know how good the Rams actually are.  I do not know how good the Saints actually are.  I am completely convinced however that the Saints are a terrible match-up for us.

I don't want to play them in the dome again cause I expect flat out cheating from the refs, but man I honestly can't imagine losing to them 3 times in one season.

Honestly dont know enough about either team.  If the falcons that showed up Monday night show up Sunday, they will lose and lose bad.  I hope Atlanta wins, but probably wont

Saints didn’t look very good at home against the Jets either...

Yeah the Saints are a nightmare matchup because:

A.) Our d-line, especially KK, can't do poo against their upgraded o-line pass rushing wise. That means Brees has all the time he needs.

B.) We're just too slow in the secondary and they'll spread us out and get the matchups they want which leads to tons of YAC.

C.) We don't have an explosive offense and we're not good trying to play catch up.

D.) We can't bully the Saints defense and sit out there all day eating up the clock. We'll lose the time of possession battle.

The Saints are the last team in the NFL I'd want this Panthers team to face. We can't rough them up, and we can't out finesse them. They're a SB level team.

    • shaq Thompson was begging to comeback even on a vet min but they looked at rozebum and said "nah, we good"
    • Oh I'm sure they'll try I'd just be floored of they find a taker.
    • Just look at OTC. It takes like 30 seconds. Also, ESPN just covered this today. As Dolphins coach Mike McDaniel openly mulls a quarterback change late in Tua Tagovailoa's disappointing season, here's the math on where things stand with Tagovailoa and the Dolphins. He has $54 million in fully guaranteed compensation in 2026. That breaks down as a $39 million salary and a $15 million option bonus that needs to be exercised between the first and third days of the 2026 league year in March. Additionally, on the third day of the 2026 league year, $3 million of his $31 million 2027 salary becomes fully guaranteed. So if he's on Miami's roster as of 4 p.m. ET on March 13, the Dolphins will be on the hook for $57 million guaranteed.   If they were to release him prior to that date, they'd still have to pay him the $54 million in 2026 cash and would absorb $99.2 million in dead salary cap charges. (They could spread that out over two years if they designated him a post-June 1 release, but they'd still take $67.4 million in dead money charges on their 2026 cap and the remaining $31.8 million in 2027.) If they were to find a way to trade Tagovailoa before March 13, the acquiring team would become responsible for the $54 million in 2026 salary and bonuses, and the Dolphins' dead-money charge would drop to $45.2 million. If they traded him after March 13, presumably they'd be on the hook for the $15 million option bonus, while the new team would take the $39 million salary; the Dolphins' dead-money charge would be $60.2 million.   None of this is even close to ideal, obviously, as it would leave Miami in a terrible cap situation and also without a quarterback. The Broncos took $80 million in dead-money charges (spread over two years) when they released Russell Wilson in 2024, and they managed to make the playoffs last season and currently hold the 1-seed in the AFC playoff field for this season. So huge dead-money charges don't necessarily kill a team's chances. But one of the reasons it has worked for Denver is it found a first-round QB in Bo Nix who could play right away.   If the Dolphins bench Tagovailoa this week, it'd be for either Zach Wilson or rookie Quinn Ewers, either of whom could theoretically be a 2026 starting option if they show enough in these remaining three weeks. But moving on from Tagovailoa would probably require the Dolphins to be players in that Mac Jones/Kyler Murray/etc. second-chance QB market if they want to compete next year. Not a great spot for whoever their next general manager turns out to be. https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/47324378/nfl-week-16-buzz-news-updates-fantasy-intel-questions-predictions#trades
