San Fran probably won't be the 6 seed if the Saints win out; they would probably be the 5 seed. That would mean Carolina would be the 6 seed (unless Arizona beats San Fran in Week 17--but Arizona will probably be out of contention by that time as they will lose at Seattle).

As a 6 seed, I think Carolina would lose to 3 seed Philadelphia (although they would beat the Cowboys if Dallas happens to luck up and win the NFC East).

Funny, I think the opposite.

But the fact is that, if both the Saints and 49ers win out (which is highly possible) the 49ers will get the 5 seed. That is because Carolina will have lost to the Saints again, and will have a worse record than the 49ers (thus Carolina's tiebreaker advantage will not come into effect).
