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.
