And next week, the battle for the NFC #1. Right now New Orleans is #1, Seattle is #2, and San Francisco is #5, but any of them could be #1 after next week. San Francisco at #5 is actually in the driver's seat because they're the only team that controls their own destiny. 2 wins and they're the NFC #1. New Orleans still needs a San Francisco loss or tie and Seattle still needs a New Orleans loss to claim the NFC #1.
If both Green Bay and Seattle keep winning, it doesn't matter what New Orleans or San Francisco do. Seattle will be #1, Green Bay will be #2, New Orleans will be #3, Dallas will be #4, San Francisco will be #5 and Minnesota will be #6.
But Seattle can't claim the #1 seed without help. Seattle lost to New Orleans so Seattle not only has to win, they need New Orleans to lose. Similar with Green Bay. Green Bay lost to San Francisco so Green Bay not only has to win, they need San Francisco to lose. And New Orleans lost to San Francisco so New Orleans not only has to win, they need San Francisco to lose. San Francisco is the only team that doesn't need help and can claim the #1 seed by winning their final 2 games.
