So if the Seahawks sweep SF next week what happens with seeding?

They would be 2nd in their division but own tie breaker with us assuming we win next week where does that put us

We need to win out. We need SEA, GB, and SF to go 2-1 in order for a chance at a bye. We don’t have a cake walk. This would be the easiest scenario.
We play two AFC South teams in the hunt and a dreaded DIV game.
Wouldn’t mind seeing the Rams win tonight.
Sad that I’m gonna have to cheer for Matt Ryan and dem sorry a&& Falcons next week.

We should probably start scouting the Packers because we’re probably going there in the divisional round.

The next two weeks of football the seeding probably is gonna change weekly. We’re the only team over the next 3 weeks not going head to head with teams fighting for one of the top 4 spots.
NFC NORTH, WEST and EAST all have teams in it and gonna knock each other up and down.

What seed are we right now? 2?

3. No matter the outcome in LA.

Actually I think all we need is GB to lose for us to get to get the 2 seed last time I checked. I think we have the tie breaker over the Vikings.

The outcome helps us in the long run though. Seattle beats the 49ers next week and they take the division if they win out and we hold the tiebreaker over them.

If the 37ers finish 2nd in their division, their tie breaker over the Saints is negated. A wild card team can't overtake a division winner.

The Seahawks apparent loss tonight means that if they beat SF, and the Saints win out, they overtake both of those teams. I believe GB has the tie breaker for the 1 seed, due to conference records, but I don't see that team running the table. They were awful against the hapless Redskins today.

Edit- I should add that the Seahawks will of course have to not lose any other games, unless SF loses another game outside of Seattle, as well.

We technically can retake the #1 seed next week. A couple of things have to happen.

1. Saints>Colts
2. Falcons>49ers
3. Bears>Packers
4. Seahawks>Panthers
