While the Wild Card races are still quite tight in both conferences, this is the weekend where we are going to see several teams officially eliminated from the playoff picture. The New Orleans Saints and the Arizona Cardinals are among that group, and it is a longshot at best that either one of these two would be able to do enough to get in. Both are well off the pace, and would need a miracle of epic proportions in order to be still playing football after Week 17. These are a pair of teams that will have some decisions to make about their future in the final few weeks, and that includes deciding which players will continue to be a part of the team moving forward. There are going to be a lot of guys playing for their jobs in both squads, which should make things interesting in a game that is essentially meaningless. The bookies have the Cardinals in as a 3-point betting odds favorite.
