The NFC West showdown is cleaner. If the Seattle Seahawks beat the San Francisco 49ers, they are the NFC West champs and No. 1 seed in the NFC. With a loss the 49ers would be the No. 5 or 6 seed, based on the Rams’ outcome on Sunday. If the 49ers win, they’re division champs and the No. 1 seed, and Seattle would be the No. 5 seed.
