1. Packers
2. Saints
3. SEAHAWKS
4. Cowboys
5. 49ers
6. Vikings

Saints win tmr and they have the tiebreaker on Seattle. GB has better conf record than Saints. Seattle has tie breaker on GB.
I know, I know it’s confusing as heck.

Wait, how would the Seahawks have any seed above the Saints?
They have the same record and we beat them head-to-head.

Better conference win percentage. This is from ESPN’s playoff machine thing.

Head to head when 2 teams, but with 3 way tie my understanding is conference record. It really isnt that important because if we win out I guarantee we will be the 1...but we have to win out

Keep in mind div winners come before everything. That’s why a sorry NFC East team will be locked in the 4 seed.
1. Div winners
2. Head to Head
3. Conference win%
and so forth all the way down to a coin flip.

If SEA and SF split head to head wins. Then win % within their div comes next.
We can’t afford for SF to win their div because we lost to them.
Our biggest challenge for the #1 seed is GB because we haven’t played them and they have a better conference win%.

SF vs SEA week #17 is gonna be huge

I guess if that's the case, we're snake bit and really need insanity to even have a chance for #1 seed.

I believe we will be above the Seahawks and there fore number 1 seed. If the Seahawks manage to win their division and we win out, we will be number 1 seed period.
