We have already taken a look at the entire AFC East and AFC North, as well as the NFC East and NFC North, and have added the Indianapolis Colts, Carolina Panthers and Houston Texans to the list.

That means in the latest series for NFL Spin Zone, we have already made the case for 19 of the 32 teams in the aforementioned four divisions as to why they could make the playoffs in 2015. (Don’t worry: We will get to all eight divisions and every NFL club).

Here we explain how each club can reach the postseason IF they do this AND they do that. BUT if they fail to do something else and/or the team is derailed in some other way…well…there’s always next year.

Here we take a look at the New Orleans Saints, who have now finished 7-9 twice in the last three seasons after reaching the playoffs three straight years.

So can head coach Sean Payton and company get back on track?

We shall see. In any case, it means that the New Orleans Saints are headed to the playoffs for the fifth time in seven years…
